Restalyne the New Collagen Regenerator?
Restalyne is an exciting new wrinkle filler - well, not too new, but new enough to be called the latest and greatest in wrinkle filling and cosmetic lip injection enhancement, where the lips are plumped using injections of a substance that inflates or plumps the lips naturally for a period of usually 6 months and then needs to be re-injected (I know, ouch on your face and your wallet!) But, not only is it a filler, it also may be a great long term anti aging treatment.
I first read about restalyne about a year ago when I was researching the various wrinkle fillers used by plastic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists for filling wrinkles like forehead lines and crows feet, and this was one of the top recommendations, but not because at the time it was linked to helping produce more collagen naturally, but because it was one of the longer lasting and more natural looking wrinkle fillers.
Now though, research is pointing to the fact that restalyne not only makes a great cosmetic wrinkle filler, but it also helps the body to regenerate additional collagen, or at least more than it was before the injections, which could quickly skyrocket restalyne to the favorites list of many of the A-list stars and other more well off women and men that can support this sort of expensive beauty habit.
Doctors testing the product on people are saying that not only is the product a space filler, but it also forces the skin to produce more collagen, and added and unexpected benefit. Not only does the restalyne purportedly help to produce more collagen, but it also may interfere with the breakdown of the collagen you have if you continue to get the injections over and over (the longer the better, collagen is supposed to have a life of about 15 years, and can break down faster due to abuses by the environment, diet and lifestyle if you’re not careful).
So, I think as far as the cosmetic fillers, we have a definite contender for the longshot winner in restalyne. Another very attractive thing about this whole study? Apparently the makers of restalyne didn’t even commission it, nor were they made aware of these additional benefits. It’s always better if it’s independent research, that way you know you’re getting an objective and fair view of what a product’s capabilities are. Especially in the grey area of cosmetic enhancement, which can often be shaded with overblown claims.
