Restylane vs. Juvederm: What Is The Best Lip Filler For Me?

If you are into aesthetics, then you have definitely heard of lip filler injections. One of the biggest decisions you have to make before your lip augmentation is which filler you'd prefer to use. The most popular fillers for lip enhancement are Restylane and Juvederm. Choosing between these two quality brands is tough. Let's take a look at the key differences to help you determine the best choice for you.

What Is the Best Lip Filler for Your Needs?

Finding the best lip filler for your personal needs is important. People look into lip augmentations for several reasons. The first question you need to ask is: "What results do I want?" Your answer could include any or all of these goals:

• Add volume and plumpness
• Smooth the appearance of lines
• Improve lipstick lines
• Correct vertical lip lines

Restylane vs. Juvederm

So, which one is best for you? Let's compare the uses, cost, and results of each lip filler injection.

Juvederm® Lip Filler

Juvederm® is an injectable containing hyaluronic acid. It's FDA-approved and considered the gold standard for lip injectables. Two common Juvederm formulas are recommended for lip fillers in patients age 21 and older:

Juvederm Volbella® XC is used for lip augmentation and correction of perioral lines ("lipstick lines"). A crystal-clear gel is injected in and around the lips using an ultra-fine needle.

Juvederm® Ultra XC is designed primarily for lip augmentation, especially vertical lip lines. It can also add slight volume and fullness.

Restylane® also contains hyaluronic acid. While there are multiple Restylane formulas, Restylane® Silk is the specific version for lips. According to the manufacturer, it was the first FDA-approved lip filler and is designed to provide "silkier, smoother, natural-looking lips."
