Dermal Fillers Newport Beach

Juvederm® VS Restylane®: What is the Difference Between These Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are one of the most sought-after treatments in dermatology, due to their ability to restore lost volume. Whether injected in the cheeks to lift, or wrinkles to smooth, Juvederm® and Restylane® are two of the most popular products. Some may wonder how their injector chooses which filler to use and why? Despite the fact that fillers share many similarities, unique details distinguish them from each other. 

What are Dermal Fillers?

As we age, the body’s supply of collagen and elastin becomes depleted, resulting in looser skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Areas with fat, such as the cheeks, may also decrease in volume causing a more visible, hollow appearance. Dermal fillers can restore this lost volume, in addition to smoothing out the lines and wrinkles. If you want to enhance your natural volume in places like the cheeks and lips, dermal fillers can assist in attaining these goals. 

Juvederm® vs Restylane® 

Juvederm® and Restylane® work fundamentally similar. At ZENA Medical, we offer both families of products, providing our injection specialists the opportunity to choose the appropriate filler for your anatomy and goals. Both address volume loss and lines in the cheek area, lips, and the around the mouth. Many of these injectables additionally contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to make each injection more comfortable.

Dermal Filler Material

Both Juvederm® and Restylane® contain a similar range of formulas and use hyaluronic acid. This polysaccharide (a large, branched sugar molecule) acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and holding it there. Each filler uses a slightly different formula to create different properties and consistencies.
