While results from Restylane can last for up to 18 months, Juvederm may last 1-2 years. When comparing Restylane vs. Juvederm, how long the effects from your treatment will last depends on which specific product you are using and the area in which you are using it.

What is Restylane and Juvederm?

Juvederm and Restylane are collections of injectable dermal fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid. They are injected by a healthcare professional to add volume to different areas of your face and hands. They can be used by adults over 21 years old.

Where can Restylane and Juvederm be used?

Restylane and Juvederm products are meant to be used in certain areas, depending on the product. Common areas include places in the face and in the hands.

Juvederm comes in 6 different dermal filler products that can be used in 10 areas of the face:

  • Juvederm Voluma XC for the cheeks and chin
  • Juvederm Vollure XC for facial lines and temples
  • Juvederm Ultra Plus XC for facial lines
  • Juvederm Volbella XC for lips and under eyes
  • Juvederm Ultra XC for lips
  • Juvederm Volux XC for the jawline

Products labeled with “XC” mean that they contain lidocaine, a pain-reducing medication that helps with discomfort from the injection.

Restylane comes in 9 different products:

  • Restylane Eyelight for under the eyes
  • Restylane Kysse for lips
  • Restylane Lyft for cheeks and hands
  • Restylane Defyne for the chin and laugh lines in the face
