Lip Augmentation Restylane Vs Juvederm
Attain A More Youthful Appearance With Juvederm And Restylane
Author: Gen Wright
Are you experiencing the natural signs of aging? Are you slowly noticing wrinkles appearing on your face? Today, there are more options than ever before available to diminish unwanted wrinkles and creases on your face. Two of the most popular dermal fillers currently available are Juvederm and Restylane. Your dermatologist can work with you to determine which of these facial fillers will offer the most benefits and best outcomes for eliminating your wrinkles.
All You Need to Know about Juvederm
Juvederm is a dermal facial filler that provides a non-invasive way to attain a more youthful appearance. It is a non-surgical wrinkle treatment that, when injected into the skin, restores the skin's volume and hydration. Juvederm is used to smooth away wrinkles and nasolabial folds, otherwise known as smile lines.
A specially formulated gel, composed of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, Juvederm was developed by Allergan, the manufacturer for Botox, and approved for cosmetic use by the FDA in 2006. The smooth consistency of Juvederm allows it to be easily and accurately administered by your dermatologist. Each treatment requires approximately 15 minutes, depending on the number of injections required. Results with Juvederm are immediate.
Your rejuvenated appearance is temporary, and can be maintained for up to one year with results varying from person to person. Hyaluronic acid is a natural protein, allowing Juvederm to gradually be absorbed into the body. Additionally injections, or touch ups, may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results. The natural protein used, allows Juvederm to pose little risk of an allergic reaction and does not require an allergy test prior to treatment.
Restylane: What it is and how it works
Similar to Juvederm, Restylane is a well-established dermal filler that provides a safe and non-invasive way to create naturally younger looking skin. Just like Juvederm, Restylane is a formulated version of hyaluronic acid, which will replace the fullness and elasticity of the skin that may have been lost from aging or years of sun exposure.
Restylane is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. It is used to replace the lost volume in your skin and restores the youthful appearance to your skin. Results have been shown to last approximately six months.
Juvederm and Restylane: What's the Difference?
Both Juvederm and Restylane are FDA approved and aid in the restoration of the skin's natural-looking youthfulness and vitality. Depending on your personal preference and desired results, Juvederm and Restylane are both effective treatments for patients 35 to 60 years of age. Some differences between these two treatments include:
* Juvederm takes approximately 24 hours for recovery, while Restylane can take anywhere from two to three days.
* Results for Juvederm are reported to appear instantly, while Restylane's results may not be as evident until a week after the procedure is finished.
* The results for Juvederm can last from three to nine months, while results for Restylane can last for six months or more.
If you are considering having dermal filler injections, contact your dermatologist in Baton Rouge today for a consultation on what treatment plan would be best suited for your needs. As with any treatment, Juvederm and Restylane are not for everyone, but with proper consultation with your dermatologist, a proper treatment plan will be created. It is important to have a full understanding of the risks and benefits of each option, so contact your dermatologist for more information.

QUESTION:
Natural ingredients for lip plumping lip gloss?
Okay so I'm going to try to make my own lip plumping lip gloss and I know about cinamon oil and peppermint oil but if you could provide a list of oils that plump the lips as well as moisturize that would be great.-
ANSWER:
Cinnamon is good, also I'm not sure if you can get it in an oil but I know most lip plumping serums have capsicum in them and also chili. Basically what the serums do is irritate the lips and create a minor scale allergic reaction so that they swell, become bigger and usually more red. Try mixing the oils or crushed chili/capsicum with paw paw cream or vasaline. The paw paw would be more moisturising though. Good luck

QUESTION:
Sephora Lip Gloss?
I love the plumping lip gloss at Sephora! (Sephora Brand) and I was wondering what is that ingredient that makes your lip tingel? (I think thats the ingredient that makes your lips plumper!) and a really good homemade lip gloss recipie that includes that ingredient!
The brand is the Sephora Brand. I'll post a link to the product!http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P137114&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3902

ANSWER:
Is the brand called Duwop "LIP VENOM"?? if so then i know exactly what you are talking about, if not then i can take a very good guess that the ingredient is a spice and i think it is cinemon mixed in with maybe another spice. But it does make your lips plumper. If you buy LIP VENOM, they also make a LITE LIP VENOM which does not tingle as bad.

QUESTION:
sally hansen's lip plumping lip gloss? think it ruined my top lip...?
okay, so i'm pretty sure one of the main ingredients in the lip gloss is cinnamon, and i've never had an allergy to cinnamon. but anyway, after about a week of use, my top lip felt sunburned and started peeling. it hasn't stopped, although i discontinued use.what could be the cause? has anybody else experienced this?
-
ANSWER:
No, and I've used that same lip gloss you're speaking of. But I know certain things can chap your lips, and that's all you have. Chapped lips. It burns and peels, etc, right? Yep, you're just chapped. I've been there a million times. The weather does it to me, especially if it's windy. Just stop licking your lips, stop peeling the skin off and use a halfway decent chap stick and it will stop. I don't know why that particular lip gloss did that to you, but it could be because it's cheapish. Maybe you have high-end lips, lol. You need the better stuff.
Maybellene makes GRRRRRRRRREAAT plumping gloss but as a warning, it does kind of hurt and feel weird and tingly/numb when you first put it on so make sure your peeling areas have healed if you're gonna use it.

Temporary Lip Injections
Botox, the Temporary Quick Fix for Wrinkles
Author: Sarah Labdar
Botox is one of the newer forms of cosmetic surgery, which is practiced in today's society. Cosmetic botox is relatively new compared to other facial cosmetic surgeries such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, chin surgery, nasal reconstruction and lip enhancement. Unlike these procedures, botox is minimally invasive and non surgical. Cosmetic botox is a relatively short procedure with no recovery time. More and more people are turning to botox because it has quick results, which last a decent amount of time. So what is botox and why has it become the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure preformed by plastic surgeons?
Botox is a protein produced by the bacteria OnabotulinumtoxinA. It is has several types and cosmetic botox is a diluted form of botulism known as type A. Originally botox was used for cervical dystonia, strabismus, blepharospasm, upper limb spasticity, controlling severe underarm sweating, and headache prevention. During the use of botox on other facial problems, it was noted that botox helped to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. In 1989, Dr. Richard Clark a plastic surgeon documented botoxes effects. By 2002, the FDA approved botox type A to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles on the face. Since then cosmetic botox has become a growing market not only for the famous, but also for all.
Anti-aging is a huge market and botox has become one of the leading possibilities for men and women who are trying to look younger. Cosmetic botox treats wrinkles that are caused by age, stress, worry or environmental factors. The muscles of the face make uncontrollable movements such as tightening and contracting. These muscle movements create frown lines, crow's feet, forehead creases and neckbands. Botox is a neuromuscular toxin, which blocks the nerve signals thereby paralyzing or weakening the muscles from creating wrinkles. Cosmetic botox is quick and effective at smoothing frown lines on the forehead, between the eyes, and at the base of the nose. Within a few days the wrinkles disappear for a more youthful, smoother looking skin.
Cosmetic botox has been proven safe due to the highly diluted form of the toxin used. Additionally, botox injections must be prescribed and administered by a doctor, most often a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Results last anywhere from 3-8 months and refills can be injected once effects disappear. There are some minor and temporary side effects to botox such as bruising, redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. More intense side effects include paralysis of the wrong muscle group, inappropriate facial expressions such as drooping eyelids, double vision, uneven smile, and the loss of ability to close your eyes, headaches, dysphagia, flu-like syndromes, blurred vision, dry mouth, and fatigue. These side effects are temporary and will wear off in up to six weeks. Botox is safe for adults, however women who are pregnant, people with neurological disorders, people taking certain medications or antibiotics, and children under 18 years of age are should not receive botox injections.
Remember that botox is only a temporary fix to diminish fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Although it is quick, effective and non-surgical it cannot permanently reverse the signs of aging. Always, talk to your doctor about questions or concerns you may have in regards to botox procedures.

thnx

ANSWER:
Try the lip creams that make them bigger. I tell you my lips aren't like Angelina Jolie's lips, but they are a little bit in between that and medium. I tell you... I would rather have small lips, and the very idea of making them bigger would kill me... Be happy with your image, because I would kill for small and sexy lips! By the way... Injections never give you the results you want!

QUESTION:
I had a restalyne lip injection last nite. How long does the swelling last?
I'd like to know if anyone here has ever had it done. My bottom lip always overshadowed my top lip & decided to give restalyne a whirl since I read up on it & found the risks to be very minimal if any and temporary. But my lip is swollen now and I think its too big and still hurts. I just had this done last nite. How long does it usually take for the swelling & the pain to subside? I cant even purse my lips together to kiss my daughter without feeling discomfort. Anyone have any helpful insight?-
ANSWER:
It takes about a week before the swelling goes down.
