What's the advantage of using one filler over another?

There are many dermal fillers on the market and I understand that it can become confusing for a patient to determine which is the "best." First of all, Latisse and Dysport are not dermal fillers, Latisse is a lash enhancing product and Dysport is a botulinum toxin a, which is used for relaxing muscles.

Different fillers are typically used in different areas of the face, for example if you are looking to plump lips, Juvederm Ultra and Restylane are great products for that area. In the nasal folds depending on how deep the folds are Radiesse and Perlane can be utilized there as well, so I highly recommend making a consultation with a healthcare provider to give you the best options based on you.

For the fillers you mentioned, the longest acting one is probably
Perlane (Latisse is for eyelashes and Dysport is not a filler).
Radiesse is longer lasting than any of the fillers you have mentioned.
Generally speaking, the more volume required, the thicker the product
used so Perlane and Radiesse are great for cheeks. They may also be
appropriate for your naso-labial folds, but this is determined by your
injector in consultation with you. We suggest you go to several
consultations to get the pros and cons of each.
