Comparing Juvéderm and Restylane

Juvéderm and Restylane are both considered noninvasive procedures. This means that no surgery is required for either. They also both use hyaluronic acid to treat wrinkles via volume. Below is more information about each procedure.

Juvéderm

Juvéderm is designed to treat wrinkles in adults. Each solution has a gel material made with hyaluronic acid.

There are different types of Juvéderm injections intended for different areas of the face. Some are designed for the mouth area only (including the lips), while others add volume to cheeks. Certain injections are also used for the fine lines that can develop around your nose and mouth.

Juvéderm injections have all evolved into XC formulas. These are made with lidocaine, which helps decrease pain during the injections without the need for a separate topical anesthetic.

Restylane

Restylane also has hyaluronic acid. Some versions of the product line, such as Restylane Lyft, include lidocaine as well. This type of dermal filler is sometimes used around the eyes, as well as on the back of the hands. It's also used to smooth lines around the mouth, enhance the lips, and add lift and volume to the cheeks.
