Juvederm and Restylane are competing injectable cosmetic fillers to reduce the facial signs of aging in a non-surgical manner. Both the fillers are approved by the FDA for aesthetic facial enhancement. However, there are subtle but key differences between Juvederm and Restylane. A medspa treatment provider will explain the differences and recommend the most suitable option to the patients according to their needs.
Patients should feel free to ask questions and clarify all their doubts and concerns about facial filler procedures, and the differences between Juvederm and Restylane. Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, providers both dermal fillers to appropriate candidates through Motykie Medical Spa. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations can conveniently visit the medical spa for filler injections.
 

Versatility

Both Juvederm and Restylane are fantastic and sensational facial fillers for versatile use, such as reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, improvement of overall facial shape and contours, and lip enhancement. An experienced medspa treatment provider can create desirable and safe outcomes with both these fillers.
One of the important differences in their usage is that Restylane is more appropriate when treating fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes or the tear trough area. The skin is highly sensitive and thin in this area, and the molecular composition of Restylane makes it more appropriate for treatment here.
 

Concentration of Hyaluronic Acid

The main ingredient in both Juvederm and Restylane is hyaluronic acid, which contributes to the natural tightness and strength of the skin and holds moisture levels. The concentration of hyaluronic acid is higher in case of Juvederm as compared to Restylane.
As a result, a patient can enjoy more sustainable results with Juvederm. Patients with more severe or conspicuous facial creases and wrinkles can benefit more from Juvederm. Due to the difference in molecular composition, the results with Juvederm may be smoother.
 

Consistency and Texture

Juvederm and Restylane differ significantly in terms of their gel consistency and texture. Juvederm gel is known for its smoother texture and superior consistency, while Restylane gel is more granular. Some experts opine that Restylane has a higher risk of creating bumps during the application, but such concerns are not scientifically established.
Juvederm can be used more easily, particularly when the medical spa expert has to treat very fine lines. The smoothness of the gel allows the provider to use very thin needles. Restylane is more appropriate to treat hollows beneath the eyes because a smooth Juvederm gel would travel to the top of the cheek. Motykie Medical Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Juvederm and Restylane.
 

Cohesion

Restylane is considered to have a better cohesiveness than Juvederm. When the provider needs to work with the material and mold it into a specific shape, they may prefer Restylane. The provider will consider the facial anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and the personal aesthetic goals of the patient before recommending the more appropriate choice between Juvederm and Restylane facial fillers.

Juvederm is one of the most popular, FDA approved dermal filler injections designed to reduce the aging signs from the face. Juvederm medspa treatment is ideally suited for people who want to get rid of mild to moderate wrinkles, folds and fine lines, but without involving any surgery.
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, is a premier facility for advanced injectable treatments such as Juvederm. The medical spa provides Juvederm filler to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Hyaluronic Acid Based Filler

The key component of Juvederm is hyaluronic acid, which is natural sugar compound that supports the elasticity and volume of the skin in the human body. Hyaluronic acid is vital to the delivery and retention of nutrients and moisture in the skin. With the progression of age, the levels of this compound decrease in the body.
Juvederm facial filler gel is created using a cutting edge manufacturing process. The gel is specially formulated in a malleable and smooth form to provide very natural looking anti-aging outcomes for the face. This medspa procedure does not require any prior allergy tests because hyaluronic acid is completely biocompatible.
 

Candidacy

Individuals who want to soften the impact of aging lines on the face or augment the lips without involving surgery may choose Juvederm cosmetic filler injections. Juvederm is well-suited for any area of the face, such as creases and fine lines around the nose, mouth, and forehead.
It is appropriate for people who want to enhance facial contours or even improve the appearance of acne scars. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid Juvederm filler treatment. Dr. Motykie’s medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Juvederm.
 

Procedure

Juvederm is available at the medical spa in sterile, ready to use syringes. The consistency of Juvederm gel is particularly good, which makes it more comfortable to receive the injections. The provider can use thinner needles and apply less pressure during the injections.
The provider will numb the local area with a topical anesthetic cream prior to administering Juvederm injections. The gel is injected into the mid to deep dermis, depending on the degree of correction needed. The treatment session typically lasts for about 30 minutes.
 

How does it Work?

Juvederm is composed of cross linked hyaluronic acid particles suspended in a smooth gel. This gel is injected directly into the wrinkles, fine lines, furrows, or hollowed areas of the face. This instantly adds volume to the face, reducing wrinkles and lines gradually. Over time, Juvederm replenishes the hyaluronic acid, enabling the patient to achieve more natural looking and sustainable youthful appearance.
 

Recovery

For a few days after the Juvederm procedure, the patient should avoid touching or massaging the treated area. Sun, heat, and cold exposure to the treated area should also be avoided for about two weeks. No specific downtime is involved with Juvederm. Results will last on average for about six months to a year.

Pixel Skin Rejuvenation

People who are unhappy about the dull and lackluster appearance of the skin, emergence of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, blotches, and age spots from sun and environmental exposure, and have larger skin pores can ideally benefit from Pixel skin rejuvenation. Conditions such as acne scars and stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs may also be improved with this procedure.
Pixel skin rejuvenation treatment session can be completed in about 30 to 60 minutes. Enhanced skin tone can be noticed just after the first treatment, and optimal outcomes can be achieved in two to five treatment sessions on average. Pixel procedure is safe for almost any area of the body, and may also be used in combination with lasers and other aesthetic treatments. Motykie Medical Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for this procedure.
 

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment

Facial appearance gets accentuated when the lips are fuller, more symmetrical and in harmony with other facial features. Many young women want to achieve fullness the lips, while in case of older patients, lip rejuvenation may be necessary to improve their shape, reduce skin laxity and enhance the looks. Restylane dermal filler injections are a proven medspa procedure for lip enhancement.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides Restylane lip enhancement to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

What are Restylane Lip Enhancement Before and After Images? 

Before and after images in case of Restylane lip enhancement treatment refer to a pair or group of pictures belonging to a previous patient who has undergone the same injectable medspa procedure with successful results. The pictures include images taken before the procedure and after the procedure at a time when the temporary swelling or redness has been resolved and full effects of Restylane treatment have been established.
The treatment provider will ensure that the photographs are acquired from the patient with their complete consent, and presented discreetly before new patients. The original patient’s identity is usually not disclosed. The sole purpose behind this exercise is to educate new patients about the potential effectiveness of Restylane for lip enhancement and help them make an informed decision.
 

Benefits

Lips a very vital part of the facial aesthetics, and it is natural for any patient to be concerned about the outcomes of lip enhancement treatment. Many patients are initial uncertain about which non-surgical treatment option to choose for lip enhancement, and how Restylane injections may help to fulfill their aesthetic goals.
The number of Restylane injections can vary from one patient to another, and in some cases, Restylane may be combined with additional fillers or other treatments. The patient is in a better position to choose the correct treatment options when they have access to Restylane lip enhancement before and after photos. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for this procedure.
 

Reasonable Expectations

Therefore, an experienced treatment provider will prefer to present Restylane lip enhancement before and after photos at the very first appointment. Once the patient knows exactly what to expect and what not to expect from this treatment, they can make a fully informed choice.

Aging, genetics, and other factors may lead to the development of excess fat tissue in the chin area, giving an appearance of unsightly double or triple chin. This condition equally affects men and women, but can be corrected with a medspa non-surgical procedure called Kybella injections, or a liposuction plastic surgery procedure.
Patients should carefully evaluate both Kybella and liposuction treatment options for chin fat reduction, and understand the key differences between the two. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides chin fat reduction treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Candidacy

Liposuction chin fat reduction surgery is more appropriate for people who are acceptable to the idea of an invasive procedure to achieve long-term and substantive fat reduction. The patient should be fit to receive anesthesia, willing to go through the potential risks that are associated with any surgery, and ready to afford the costs. Liposuction will also involve a considerable amount of downtime, and the patient’s situation should allow for a proper recovery.
Kybella injectable treatment is a better option for candidates who want to avoid surgery and seek a medspa procedure with minimal risk of complications, very little discomfort and downtime, reduced costs, and no involvement of general anesthesia. Kybella is a fairly recent procedure as compared to liposuction, but it has been approved by the FDA and has quickly gained in popularity.
 

Procedure

Liposuction procedure should only be performed by a fully trained and qualified plastic surgeon, who is preferably board certified. A number of liposuction techniques are available today to reduce excess fat pockets below the chin. The surgeon will recommend the appropriate technique, and may combine it with laser or ultrasound technology to make it less invasive and more effective.
Tumescent liposuction is a popular technique, which will usually avoid the need for general anesthesia. If the skin elasticity is weak, the surgeon may perform liposuction in conjunction with neck lift to remove excess skin. Patients should note that minor scarring will occur with chin liposuction, but the surgeon will keep the scars as discreet as possible.
Kybella Injections, on the other hand, is a completely non-surgical procedure involving no cuts or incisions. It will require multiple treatment sessions of about 20 minutes each, where as liposuction surgery can be completed in a single day. Several Kybella injections will be administered during each session according to the patient’s unique needs. Motykie Medical Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Kybella.
 

Other Differences

Kybella Injections are exclusively approved by the FDA for the reduction of submental fat only. Therefore, if the patient needs additional corrections of loose skin or excess, they may need other procedures.
Liposuction, on the other hand, is more flexible and can be performed for fat reduction in multiple areas to achieve more harmonious outcomes. Patients can discuss both options with the surgeon during the initial consultation and choose the most appropriate one to meet their personal aesthetic goals.

Two non-surgical procedures specially designed to reduce chin fat were cleared by the FDA in 2015. These include Kybella Injections and CoolMini treatment from Zeltiq, the company that offers CoolSculpting. Both medspa treatments provide an effective alternative to liposuction for the reduction of submental fat.
Kybella or ATX-101 treatment includes delivery of several tiny injections in the submental area to reduce double chin appearance. CoolMini, on the other hand, involves the same unique cooling process to reduce chin fat, which is the hallmark of CoolSculpting.
Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides both Kybella and CoolMini procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Kybella Treatment

Kybella is a unique medication based procedure designed specifically to reduce submental fat. Following successful clinical trials, the FDA has given its approval to Kybella, which makes it the first and only FDA approved injectable procedure for chin fat reduction. Different patients will require different number of injections and med spa treatment sessions according to their specific needs.
Kybella treatment can be customized to match with the unique aesthetic needs of the patient, but a maximum of six treatment sessions are only possible. In a very short period of time, Kybella has gained wide popularity because of the successful results achieved in terms of a slimmer chin profile in a completely non-surgical way. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Kybella.
 

How does Kybella Work?

Kybella medication utilizes the power of deoxycholic acid, which is a biological agent present in the body to support the natural fat absorption process. When a synthetic form of this agent is delivered in a controlled manner through small injections directly into the submental tissue, it triggers dismantling of the undesirable fat cells. The body gradually re-absorbs these cells, revealing a slimmer chin profile.
 

CoolMini Treatment

Zeltiq created the CoolMini applicator to enable the treatment providers to reach narrow or difficult-to-access areas in the body such as the submental region under the chin. CoolMini treatment involves the same innovative cooling process as CoolSculpting to freeze off the unwanted fat cells. Once the unwanted cells are frozen, they eventually disintegrate and get removed from the body.
Smaller amounts of fat from the submental area are cleared smoothly with CoolMini. Patients will usually require only one or two CoolMini sessions to reduce double chin appearance, with each session lasting for about one hour. In most cases, up to 20 percent fat under the chin can be reduced with CoolMini program.
 

Non-invasive Procedure

Unlike Kybella, CoolMini is a completely non-invasive procedure, involving no needles and no administering of any type of medications. It exposes the targeted submental area to a very cool temperature, which selectively freezes the cold-sensitive fat cells. These cells gradually disintegrate and get removed from the body in a natural way. With minimal to no discomfort and simply no downtime, the patient is able to achieve enhanced chin contours.

Excess fat tissue accumulation in the chin area can give an unsightly appearance of what is commonly known as a double chin or triple chin. While liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure to correct this condition, not every patient is ready for surgery. In such cases, a qualified med spa may offer cutting edge non-surgical chin fat reduction alternatives such as Kybella injections and Ultherapy.
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides these innovative and proven non-surgical treatments for chin fat reduction. The medical spa provides these procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Kybella Injections

Kybella holds the unique distinction of being the first and only FDA approved injectable treatment for the reduction of fat tissue in the submental region. The efficacy of this innovative med spa procedure has been proven through extensive clinical trials and excellent patient and physician feedback.
Kybella, which was approved by the FDA in 2015, commands very high patient satisfaction rates because of its highly desirable results in terms of a slimmer chin profile achieved in a completely non-surgical way. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Kybella.
 

How does Kybella Work?

The key constituent of Kybella injectable medication is a patented synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring molecule promotes metabolism of dietary fat in the body. The provider will deliver the medication into the targeted submental area with small injections.
The medication immediately begins to disrupt the membrane of the unwanted fat cells. With the destruction of the cell membrane, the fatty content of the fat cells is released and its metabolizing begins in the body just like the other normal fat. Each treatment session of Kybella injections requires only about 15 to 20 minutes. Patients can receive up to six treatments spaced one month apart.
 

Ultherapy

Ultherapy adopts a completely different approach to skin tightening and chin fat reduction. This FDA cleared procedure is based on ultrasound energy, which stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin’s foundation to tighten loose skin in the chin area. It can lift the skin under the chin with just a single treatment. No downtime or post-operative care is necessary with Ultherapy.
Ultherapy received FDA’s clearance in 2014, and is already popular in more than 40 other countries worldwide. The treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles and folds in the chin area, and help the patient achieve a rejuvenated, more youthful look of the chin. The key difference is that Ultherapy primarily focuses on skin tightening, while Kybella injections are specifically designed to cut down the fat.
 

Safe and Effectiveness

The safety of Ultherapy has been established in clinical trials and in more than 350,000 treatments performed globally. The procedure also incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, which enables practitioners to view the layers of tissue they are treating. This ensures that the ultrasound energy is delivered in a targeted manner for maximum effect.
