I think the discovery of the advantages of Latisse is quite revolutionary, for some women it’s like a dream come true. In the pursuit of longer, darker lush eyelashes women have been buying, applying and removing mascara endlessly. It is a time consuming, expensive and sometimes risky routine that women endure in the name of vanity. From as far back as 1913 when Maybelline introduced the first mascara, simply charcoal dust combined with Vaseline women have batted their long heavily coated eyelashes. How many have fought sometimes even poked themselves in the eye attempting to apply mascara in a hurry while driving to work, been caught in rain or crying only to find black streams rolling down their cheeks. Choosing the right brand and formula can be confusing. It’s as simple as applying eyeliner, and if I did it every night before bed I can have natural soft longer thicker and darker lashes with noticeable results as early as 4 weeks. That’s a no-brainer, the end of sticky, clumpy, messy mascara. This product gets my seal of approval. I found some amazing before and after images that had me sold. Like Viagra’s side effects ended up being a huge bonus to men, components in Latisse originally were developed for treatment of Glaucoma is like a dream come true to many women.

It’s quite impressive because much like other fillers it gives instant results but over time stimulating collagen production for a longer period of time than Restylane and far longer than collagen. Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a water based gel.

This is the same material found in tooth enamel and bone. The uses are vast from non-surgical rinoplasty to lifting cheeks to helping bring back your voice.

I would say avoid lips and under the eye area as it’s a relatively firm filler and is meant to be used ideally around firmer bonier areas.

Personally I have a deviated septum and have never considered surgery to correct it. Because it does not affect my breathing in any way and therefore purely cosmetic I would choose a filler such as Radiesse, there is no recovery time, and far cheaper and safer than surgery. My only suggestion would be to perhaps try short-term filler just in case you don’t like the result and have to live with it for up to 18 months or more.

Maybe if you can tolerate some burning and a little redness in exchange for plumper lips for upto 9 months.
While it’s not turning back the clock 10 years it can definitely can make deflated and lined lips fuller .
Restylane developed in Sweden by Q-Med was made available to the world in 1996 and approved in the USA December of 2003.Since that time an estimated million persons have used it in 60 countries. That’s a lot of plumped lips.
The natural dermal filler is made of the crystal-clear gel called NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid). Hyuloronic acid a natural moisturiser is far safer than the toxin called Botox. Collagen while natural is actually pig based which brings up allergy issues and its effects don’t last as long. Restylane effects last up to 3 times longer than Collagen. The benefits are both immediate as well as long term. It instantly fills fine lines and depressions while long term it stimulates your body to produce more collagen, which are the fibers that naturally support the skin and giving it the appearance of fullness that with time diminishes.
That’s double the benefits. I found some before and after images that I was quite impressed with. In the future if I think Restylane will be my filler of choice.

Which Facial Filler Is for You?

The following chart describes the 10 most popular treatments for facial lipoatrophy, how each works and the comparative benefits and risks. The first six are temporary; the last four are permanent. Only two, Sculptra and Radiesse are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for facial lipoatrophy, but all are used, to better or worse effect. Comparing costs is tricky because cheaper materials tend to require more procedures and more touch-ups; the priciest, Bio-Alcamid ($4,500), can be injected in one session and is permanent — yet is generally unavailable in the United States. Don’t forget to include the cost of travel expenses when figuring out how much products not approved in the United States will cost.
