When it comes to treating fine lines and wrinkles, restoring volume, and improving the contour of the lips, Juvederm and Restylane are two of the most popular dermal fillers in the world. Both Juvederm and Restylane are families of hyaluronic acid fillers with numerous possible formulations, each of which can last for various periods of time. On average, Juvéderm results can last between 1 and 2 years, while Restylane fillers typically last 6 to 18 months. However, newer products from both companies have varying longevity - Juvéderm Voluma can last up to 2 years, while Restylane Silk results usually become apparent within a few days and can last up to 10 months.
The jury decides which of these fillers is more durable. Juvederm has 35 percent more hyaluronic acid that has been cross-linked, creating a slightly more complex formula that some consider more durable. The strongest Restylane filler, Restylane Lyft, lasts up to a year, while Juvederm Voluma can last up to 2 years, making it the most durable temporary dermal filler available. Some dermal fillers have been studied to last close to two years.
The three fillers that tend to last the longest are Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse and Sculptra. Juvederm and Restylane are both excellent options for smoothing puppet lines. Excellent options include Restylane, Lyft, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus. Unfortunately, these are not scientific terms that can be qualified, but overall, Juvederm is less likely to leave potholes than Restylane during the application process.
For example, if used in the recesses under the eyes, Juvederm is so soft that it can easily travel to the top of the cheek, creating fullness where you don't want it. Choosing between Juvederm and Restylane can be difficult, but keep in mind that each of these products stands out in different areas of the face. For example, Botox can help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, while Restylane or Juvederm can be used to restore volume, improve lips, or reduce the appearance of fine lines and folds around the mouth. Since Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers, they can often be used interchangeably or as complementary treatments. Juvederm and Restylane are both excellent options for treating fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
However, all Restylane and Juvederm products last between 6 and 18 months with maintenance treatments - the specific longevity of each product depends on the formulation and treatment area. Here at Saigal Facial Plastic Surgery, there is nothing more important to us than your health and safety.
