I went it to follow up on a Juvederm injection I had in my upper lip for the fine lines for months ago. It was suppose to last up to a year, but clearly did not. The nurse told me about the Elevess product and that it was great and much less expensive, but only lasted 4 months or so.I asked were... Read more

I have used fillers several times- mostly Restylane- in the lines/folds on the sides of my nose. I always like the results but it is expensive. I saw Hydrelle on The Doctors and thought I would try it since it was touted as more "filling" than other products.I only had to use 1... Read more

My dermatologist said Elevess was about the same as Restylene but cheaper so I said go for it. He injected it into my nasolabial folds. Wow, by that night I was swollen and the next day my upper lip and sides of my mouth were gigantic. I looked like I was from Planet of the Apes. I iced it... Read more

I am stunned by the bad reviews here for Elevess. I was injected about six months ago and am still very very satisfied with the result. The pain was minimal and unlike the other reviews here, I experienced very little swelling and redness.I may do it again in a few months especially since the... Read more

I've had fillers for years - have probably used them all on different parts of my face...and have always been pleased with results.

On 9/18/08 I had Elevess injected into the lines above and below my lips to get rid of the lines (I would be happy with the lines again if I only knew!).  The area above my lips got puffy and lumpy immediately.  I was told to massage it but have found out from several sources that you... Read more

I received an Elevess treatment about three weeks ago and am very happy with the results. Having had other HA treatments in the past, I know how the pain can be an issue and the lidocaine in Elevess really seemed to make a difference compared to the others I have had. Read more

I was injected with Elevess from at an office where I typically use an HA type of filler. I had a reaction to the product..drastic swelling in areas that were not even injected. Apparently, the product is not indicated for people with sulfa allergies (allergies to sulfites...like those in red... Read more
