Key takeaways
- Reversibility is the great divider. If it matters to you, the choice collapses to HA — Obagi MagIQ, Evolysse, RHA, or Versa.
- Timeline splits volumizers from biostimulators. "Today" → HA. "Gradual" → Sculptra.
- Area dictates a short list. Lips → RHA or Versa. Hands & jawline → Radiesse. Cheeks/midface volume → RHA Dynamic Volume or Sculptra.
- Weight-loss / GLP-1 changes have a plan. Evolysse is marketed for this; RHA Dynamic Volume and Sculptra rebuild lost midface volume.
- Combination is normal. Real plans often blend an HA with a biostimulator.
