You would be better off with restylane as it feels and looks more natural. Generally the treatment last around 6 months. There is some excellent news, however. It turns out that restylane injections are able to alter the cells subdermally in such a way that they begin to once again generate their own collagen. That means that it last longer with each treatment and is eventually unnecessary. The study was highlighted recently in the Wall Street Journal.
The attached sites have more information, list providers for restylane and rank providers based on customer surveys.
Good luck.

collagen is really being phased out by a new facial filler called restalyne, which usually packs in more smoothly and has a slightly more natural look. restalyne tend to looks great as long as its done by someone who is well trained like a cosmetic dermatologist. it lasts around 3-5 years. the area will be swollen for up to a week after treatment, but usually only around 4 days. you're going to be looking at paying between 300-500 dollars, but you won't regret it.

You don't have to go to those extremes...just yet. Avon is going to sell a product especially for that. Its a two part system. One side is to plump your lips and the other side is to smooth out the wrinkles around your mouth. It is the alternative to injections. If you want a free sample, email me and I will mail you one. I suggest you try this first and then you decide. Its always worth a shot and it will be a lot less expensive.

The answer is Geneveive. It's natural. Its one infomercials all the time. No shots. You just rub it on. OR you can try Better Than Botox its at like Macy's and some drugs stores. Collagen Injestions are painful!

Don't get collagen. Get RADIESSE. Trust me I have it, when you get it you will be so happy. It's FDA approved and it will last over a year, so you won't have to get it done as often and it will save you $ in the long run.

I had it done about ten years ago and damn it hurt, maybe they have improved it but it didn't really help, and it would last about 3 months....better off having your own fat...(taken from butt usually) injected...lasts lots longer, slightly more $ initially but not in the long run...just casue I said it hurt, it may not hurt you ....everyone is different....

They last a few months and after the healing period(two days)they look pretty natural.
