Safety and Complications:
People around the world have safely used Restylane since 1996, with dermatologists and plastic surgeons performing more than 3 million procedures. As with all medical treatments, however, it's important to discuss Restylane with your health care professional to see if it's safe for you.
Some people have minor injection-related reactions. These include swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at injection sites. These typically resolve by themselves, usually within a few days for skin injections and within a week for lip injections.
Other types of reactions are very rare. About one in 2,000 people have reactions near treatment sites, possibly from hypersensitivity. Such reactions usually consist of localized swelling that sometimes affects surrounding tissues. Patients have also reported redness, tenderness and-rarely-acne-like formations. These reactions are generally mild to moderate and self-limiting. They tend to begin a few days to four weeks after treatment, and to last an average of two weeks.

Juvéderm™
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvéderm™ is the only HA filler with FDA approval to last up to one year.
Juvéderm™ provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.
Results:
With Juvéderm™ the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor's office for treatment and step right back into your life.
How is JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel different from BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin such as perioral lines and nasolabial folds (lines around your mouth and nose). Juvéderm™ restores your skin's volume for a smooth, natural look and feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a filler. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes muscle activity and is used to treat moderate to severe lines caused by the dominant frown muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often referred to as the “11,” to temporarily diminish for a smoother appearance. For important safety information about BOTOX® Cosmetic, see below.
Safety and Complications:
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel of Juvéderm™ allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. And, Juvéderm™ is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Your doctor may choose to numb (anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize discomfort.
Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures there is a risk of infection.
