worked fairly well

Tried restylane expensive 500-800 per treatnent. Improved the many scars I have. Worth every penny needed the improvement. Works good for scars. Unfortunely the results have diminished alot in only 3 months, going back for more next week. Thinking of trying semi permanant fillers. If concerned with facial scars from acne, injury ect. i highly reccomend

Listen people, I have tried all the non- surgical, and topical creams / pills out there. And yesterday I got two restalyne injections on my chin, for deep depressed acne scaring. The Results where immediate, a little red and angry of course but that diminished by morning and should be gone at the end of the week. I have spent so so much time on this wicked web site, looking for solutions, seeing peoples overall feelings. And no matter what anyone else says, IT WORKS! My doctor was so so nice and explained everything in detail, I even get to go back in 2 weeks for a FREE touch up. If you ask me 300 dollars (can) is so little to pay for your slef esteme back.

I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results,
I hope you can find the right thing that fits you and makes you feel better about yourself. I also use " la mer" concentrate on my skin after I wash with Glytone acne kit. The concentrate coasts about 500, but it should last forever, and works wonders in conjunction with the restalyne.

I visited external affaires in St. Albert, AB and saw Doctor. Richard Hatfield, he's honest, comforting and a wonderful doctor that gave wonderful results.
GOOD LUCK

This may not be the best thing for correcting severe acne scars. This is not a natural solution and your skin will definitely not be fixed by injecting stuff into it. I had this done and there was only a very slight improvement, if any from the injection. However, if you have a depressed scar moving it to the surface with collagen will allow topical retinoids to access it better and help fade the scar and help fade color changes in your skin better than if the scar is below the level of the rest of your skin. BUT, it took 9 months or more for the scar to fade just a little. This isn't a quick fix and I suggest that with how expensive this is you find another more natural way to treat the scar such as maybe subcision or chemical peeling, which can't eliminate the scar but may help fade it.

I had Perlane treatment five days ago for significant rolling scars on my cheeks that were resistant to a previous laser attempt. I found this to be quite a painful treatment and I did have some initial bad reactions - in particular, swelling and bruising on one cheek that made it hard for the doctor to be able to see what he was doing as he continued the procedure. For several days afterwards a small raised bump occurred at each injection site which thankfully did not last. The results are quite good however, especially on the cheek where the bruising/swelling did not occur. I may consider having the worse cheek treated again. I would say I have a 50-60% improvement overall. I would also note that this procedure does not improve any redness/discolouration that might be present as part of the scarring. I will be considering a permanent filler (Aquamid) as I'm pretty happy with this method.

I had restylane injected on a Monday today is the fouth day and is totally gone. It's not fair I paid $550, to me it was too much money but I hate my wrinkles around my mouth so I did it. I regret it because it did not work for me and I'll be paying my credit card for a while.

I've had Radiance for facial laugh lines (I am 47) and I loved it! The cost was $500.oo and it lasted 7 months. I am about to have it done again. It was a painful procedure don't let anyone kid you or at least it was to me. The numbing shots are as painful as the filler injections, but the results are so great you bet I am doing it again. Swelling about a day, brusing minimal 3-5 days.

I'm 40 years old and have been living with terrible acne scars since I was 20. I finally did something about it and spent a LOT of time researching the options.

After meeting with a highly regarded plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, we opted to go with Radiance. The injections are done in the doctors office and there is no down time. There is some mild pain associated with the injections, but it's not too bad.

The results are immediate, and my skin looked MUCH smoother. While the studies say that the results "may last up to two years," I've found that the filler has begun to disolve one year after I had the injections. I'm scheduled to have more injections next week and I'll be happy to schedule Radiance every year in order to continue with my MUCH smoother skin!!

PS: Be sure to find a competent doctor with LOTS of experience with Radiance. Otherwise you may end up with the "clumping" effect which others have reported.

I had restylane to fix a couple scars and the results were horrible. Not only did I throw away $500, I am worried I will look like I have huge bumps on my face. I think my doctor put WAY too much in, I prefered the scar.

Hi
I have had repeated Restyline injections on my chin to fill in scars and was very pleased with the result. But I now find the area is discoloured and red,and has been for the last year. Also I had the corners of my mouth injected and it has left a slight shadow.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
