How is Evolence Different from Restylane or Juvederm Injections?

How is this new filler Evolence different from the HA fillers we know and love, i.e. Restylane or Juvederm?

A: Difference between Evolence and Restylane or Juvederm

Your question has been expertly answered by the previous doctors so well. Down to the biochemical physiologic levels. But the real difference is the company has 'pulled' it from the market. This was stated due to poor sales. I think it was a total failure from its' marketing to its name choice. So why would you use a product taken off the market and not available? I would not. That is the real difference.

PS: Artefill is now back on the market. Lasts 5 to 7 years. Only a few doctors will be offering this product in each city. It also looks expensive but if you compare costs per treatment it turns out to be much less expensive.

How to Approach Doctor About Techniques for Evolence?

How do you question your doctor about possible techniques not used when giving Evolence? I have lumps, doesn't really look like I've had a filler (except for my new marionette lines due to lumps). I didn't have any kind of massage with injection, told not to touch my face for 6 hours. There was actually substance left in the syringe (that I paid for) that my lines could have definitely used. How do I approach this topic?

A: Talking with your doctor about Evolence

First, a concerned approach reflecting your thoughts is more likely to find a sypmpathetic ear than a confrontational approach. Most physicians inherently want to please their patients. Evolence is a collagen, and unlike the hyaluronic acid fillers, may have a bit more firmness and integrate into the surrounding tissue a little more slowly. Although massage is often recommended as part of the injection process, it is not essential in all instances. Usually lumps are more obvious to touch than to see, and will soften and integrate into the tissue over a few days to several weeks.
