heyo 0 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I know they are temporary, but if you were to have one done properly could it completely fill in an indentation from a cortisone injection? Please let me know if you know about these! Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robertlapwing 0 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Restylane works pretty well and gave me the best satisfaction overall for me (Btw, I have also tried collagen, radiesse, and juvederm). Sometimes you get a great level of correction (90%) and other times not as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pennypal 0 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I did collagen fillers for about two years. It completely removed the scars - lasted for about 4 months. The plastic surgeon over-filled the areas, so they were bumpy the first day, but it was a great method because the scars were completely gone. It was really great. I just didn't like the expense and then having the scars come back anew every four months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
resurectionisneeded 0 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I was on juvederm although it last longer than Restylane by about 2 months Restyalne gives a better finish and you cant feel it under the skin as the compounds are differnt.Restylane realistically lasts 4.5 months .. looks good for 2 months then starts to degrade over the course of the next 3 months.. i have them every 4 months.. $400 Au each time.. but 1200 a yr for 60% odd better skin is nothing in my opinion.With that said I too want something that lasts longer.. no doubt in the next yr there will be better stuff again.

Emhfali 0 Share Posted August 5, 2008 what I've never understood: why are tissue fillers temporary? i'm not a derm, but if the skin accept the tissue and adhere with the tissue, the results should be continuing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
