The makers of popular fillers such as Restylene, which fills or plumps wrinkles from underneath the skin via needle injection by a professional, want every woman in America in that coveted 40-60 year old market that many wrinkles creams and other anti aging products target, want restylene and other such professionally administered wrinkle fillers to become the new wrinkle treatment of choice for women who are now buying wrinkle creams and other high end topical products to try to beat aging.
They say that topical products just don’t do the job as well, and while I disagree that wrinkle creams simply don’t work, they may have a point with the fact that wrinkle fillers produce an immediate, dramatic effect in taking away lines like crows feet, smile and lip lines and forehead lines simply because they have the advantage of being a subdermally injected product.
Wrinkle creams are still necessary though, in my opinion, if not to soften lines, but to also help deliver anti aging ingredients and protective agents to the upper most layers of the skin, helping to prevent further free radical damage and other environmental damaging factors, that, together, cause the signs of aging on a woman’s or a man’s face and other areas of the body.
Restylene is said to cost a woman, at an average administering facility, about $1500 to $3000 per year to keep up the results. This usually means one initial visit to fill in the wrinkles and lines the person wants filled, and then about six months later, another visit to get the same thing done, since Restylene and other cosmetic wrinkle fillers tend to dissipate out of the body and absorb into the blood stream (supposedly harmlessly), in about this period of time. I wonder what that means? Can you just suddenly see all the wrinkles and advanced signs of aging again after about six months or what? Talk about weird – it would be like aging over night!
