Answer: Juvederm XC versus Juvederm Voluma XC, Restylane versus Restylane Silk—we don’t blame you if you find differentiating between all the fillers on the market to not exactly be the most intuitive process.

 

To start, “it helps to think of the face in 3 dimensions and multilayered,”. “There’s the structural support (such as the cheek bones), the muscle layer (contributing to animation), the soft tissue layer (fat and tissue contributing to volume) and the skin (draped over all the underlying layers).” Each injectable has different physiochemical properties and works to achieve specific goals in certain anatomical areas; “there isn’t one magic filler,” they’re subdivided into hyaluronic acid (Belotero, Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane), calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse) and poly L-lactic acid (Sculptra). “Further, each brand also has subcategories based on the concentration of product and whether it’s mixed with anesthetic.” hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which are made out of a molecule naturally found in our skin (read: high compatibility with little to no reaction), are ideal for first-time patients and can be injected almost anywhere you can think to add volume or shape—nasiolabial lines, cheeks, lips, eyelids, eyebrows, forehead lines and nose. “Their greatest advantage is that they’re the only filler category that’s reversible by an enzyme, hyaluronidase, which can ‘melt’ it almost instantly—this has been revolutionary in treating patients with filler mishaps,”. Radiesse, in the calcium hydroxyapatite category, has “excellent lifting capacity when injected deep onto the bone and it has FDA approval for rejuvenation of the hand,” and Sculptra, in the poly L-lactic acid category, is a collagen stimular that works gradually over the course of a series of treatments and works to repair the underlying skin structure over time for a natural-looking correction.

 

One can divides fillers into two broad categories—heavy/volumizing or light/superficial. “Radiesse is my go-to volumizing filler for the malar area [ed. note: cheek bones], the mid-face or the temporal hollow because the longevity is predictable,” adding that other choices for these areas are the “heavy hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Voluma XC, and for deep deposition, Perlane-L from the Restylane family of HA products.” The lips, lip lines and naso-labial folds require lighter, more superficial filler injection.

 

Its just injecting procedures. No Downtime. Usually No Complications. Really Helpful in youthful looks.
