The pros are too numerous to mention. Improved facial features, the look of being rested; improving self confidence and self esteem; compliments received but never telling I had treatment. These are just a very few.

The con is the cold sores. Medication before and after prevented break out but I seem to fighting daily for prevention. I am now taking Lysine. Diet is important; avoid chocolate especially.

I did it because my face began to look tired at the age of 55. Frown lines and sagging skin.

Doctor prescribed Valtrex prior to and after treatment for a period of a day or two. How long do symptoms usually last?

Had the same problem with the cold sores and Juvederm. Thanks I didn't know they where related. Too bad the Doctor didn't either!

My Doctor didn't write a Prescription and the cold sores lasted about 5 days with alot of washing with peroxide!

I was very upset with the cold sores and thought they would last for the entire duration. However, I have begun to drink de-caffenated coffee, completely given up Hershey Bars (my favorite) and take 3 tabs of lisene daily (1000 mg each). No longer even get a tingle. What price beauty!!!! Michele P.

I honestly do not know what would happen had I done nothing to help myself. Would I have had full breakouts and felt like the vulgar freak most people associate with cold sores? That's an easy answer, "YES"! I have suffered with them since childhood and I know the cause has nothing to do with "indiscriminate behavior". The doctors seems to "gloss over"the possibility of cold sores if you are one who gets them "occasionally". I think doctors should be a little more forthcoming in the fact that cold sores can be a serious problem as a result of treatment. Be upfront with patients. Had I done the research prior to the treatment I may not have had it done or I may have been more prepared. I was actually frightened when I began to feel symptoms. Now that it's done, I admit, I'm hooked! A few changes in my diet were key and the results are fabulous. Thank you for putting my comments and review out there. Michele P
