Cosmetic Surgery Gossip

Plum up and fill out your lips, lines and wrinkles with the cosmetic treatment Restylane. Find out all you need to know about dermal fillers and alternative products to make your lips stay forever luscious.

With celebrities and movie stars such as Angelina Jolie ,Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, sporting naturally full and plump lips, it should come as no surprise that the number one most sought after non invasive cosmetic treatment is Restylane filler.

Restylane is a hyaluronic based gel which is injected into problematic areas of the face which are in dire need of plumping up…and in this case it’s the lips. The popularity of Restylane is growing so much, that it is now becoming a popular alternative to collagen replacement therapy.

So why are so many more women choosing this type of non-invasive treatment than ever before? Well we’ve found out and broken down the main reasons why:

-Natural Product: Restylane is based on hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in all of our bodies. And because it’s a natural occurring product there’s no need to pre-test an area before its injected.

-Quick & Easy: Treatments take as little as 30 minutes to carry out. This means that you could easily fit it into your hour lunch break, or squeeze it in before a special event. The Restylane is injected using a very thin and fine needle – which makes it a relatively painless treatment.

-Great Value for Money: the results of the non-invasive cosmetic treatment can last anywhere between 4 -6 months. And 50-80% of patients find that their treatment can last beyond 6 months, this is naturally dependent of skin type, activity and age.

How does it work?

The hyaluronic acid, binds water in your skin to lift and restore the skin’s natural elasticity and volume. Restylane works together with the body’s own hyaluronic acid and joins forces to create volume and smooth out wrinkles.

The Side Effects:

The only down side of having Restylane treatment is that it could cause redness of the and very mild burning sensations on the treated areas. But these minor side effects take between 1-2 hours to completely phase out.

So pucker up and consider Restylane to fill your lips…
