WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Botox / Restylane / Dysport / Juvederm / Perlane
What is the difference between all the products & brand names?
For those who are unfamiliar with the world of plastic surgery and cosmetic
procedures, one of the most common questions is “What is the difference
between Restylane® and Botox®/Dysport®?.” The answer is: everything! Many
people are under the misconception that the wrinkle removing injectables on the
market are brand name variations of the same product; however this is far from
the truth.
Restylane®, along with similar popular products Juvederm® and Perlane®, are
what we call “injectable fillers”. These products consist of collagen, either natural
collagen from animals, or Hyaluronic Acid (HA), the same component found
naturally in human collagen.
Once injected into the problem areas, the collagen or HA “fills in” wrinkles, lines,
and furrows in the face to give the face a smoother and more youthful overall look.
Injectable fillers vary depending on the whether they are an HA filler or depending
on the type of collagen used, however the average injectable filler lasts around 6
months. Unlike Botox® and Dysport®, most injectable fillers can also be used on
the lips, for a fuller, plumper look.
Botox®, and newer variation Dysport®, are cosmetic injectables made up of a
purified form of the toxin botulinum. Unlike injectable fillers that use a substance to
“fill in” wrinkles, the substance found in Botox® and Dysport® works to relax facial
muscles. By blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical which transmits
nerve signals to contract the muscles, these injectables inactivate or weaken the
facial muscles that produce the lines on your face – resulting in a smoother,
younger look. Because the muscles in the face are relaxed, Botox® and Dysport®
injections prevent new wrinkles from forming or deepening further. Botox® and
Dysport® last about 3-4 months on average. And although these products would
be useless for the lips, Botox® is also FDA approved for excessive sweating and
treatment of neck and muscle spasms.
In short, fillers like Restylane® and Juvederm® use collagen or a collagen-like
substance to fill-in and smooth out wrinkles. Botox® and Dysport® relax facial
muscles, that ultimately smooth out wrinkles and prevent wrinkles from deepening
further.
