Does Fractional Laser Affect Evolence Results? I would like to try Evolence for a bit of volume in my cheeks and for my nasolabial area, but I have acne scars and would like to try fractional laser. It has already been paid but I have to wait till October to do it because of the sun. In the mean time, I would like to do Evolence this September. Does fractional laser remove the effect of Evolence? Thank you.

A: Fractional Laser and Fillers are OK

Having fractional laser after fillers should not be a problem. Fractional lasers have their effect on the dermis, the structural component of the skin. FIllers are most often placed just below the dermis and thus are beneath the tissue treated by the laser. We commonly perform these treatments at the same time with good effect.

Hope this helps.

Any Complications from Evolence Under the Eyes? I am planning on getting Evolence injections under my eyes. I am 66, and this is an area which I feel needs attention. Are there any disadvantages or complications of this treatment that I should be aware of? Thank you for your assistance.

A: Don't blame Evolence

The other physicians have provided detailed information regarding this product. I won't repeat that.

The technique for injection is a bit different than with the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane and Juvederm). It will last 6 months and there is evidence that it may last as long as one year.

Any longer lasting product will tend to be palpable that be felt. Often this is greatest for the first couple of weeks and it then becomes less noticable after that.

An important part of the injection technique is massage immediately after the injection by the injector. This should be relatively aggressive. It is recommended for the nasolabial lines and specifically not the lips. Because of that I have not used it for fine lip lines. A fine line formula called Evolence Breeze is supposed to become available for that purpose.

In summary, I have been using this product since it was made available and I have been happy with it. No lumps or bumps and good longevity so far.
