Skin Care Review: Restylane

by Amy, westland, MI, united states

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Excellent for nasal folds, laugh lines

Drawbacks
Painful injections, even with a blocker

Details
I'm 38, and recently lost over 50lbs, which was great for my figure, but I also lost the fullness in my face. I found that I had those annoying little laugh lines and slight nasal fold. They werent too prominent, but they bothered me. So I looked into the Restylane. My first expierence was with a "spa" and it was a rip off. They only use half the Restylane and mix it with saline making customers come back for "touch ups" @ $450 a pop. I then went to a trusted dermatologist and was completey satisified. My first treatment, 1ml lasted for 6 months, and I just went back in and had it done again but with 2 ml for a fuller effect. Looks great. There was some brusing and soreness, but icing the needle sites for a day or two will take care of it.

Conclusions
Have this done in a REAL dermatololgists' office.

Price (paid by reviewer)
830.00 for 2 ml

Where to find it
Dermatologist
