Self Injecting Juvederm or Hyaluronic Acid (Fillers) - Canada

Worth It
Cost: $400
Canada

Ok. We all know already this is not the best idea...

Ok. We all know already this is not the best idea in the world so please, give up the hate mail and comments we as posters have heard it literally one million times. Thx. Did it for the cost effectiveness and that is x2 .8ml syringes rather than the Cosmo (Cosmetic Doc) which charges $500 for only ONE syringe. That's double and I'm slightly... loving it... so I need the extra one. I'm a actress and not a huge one where I can just run off and afford to get surgery on my pout so I have fallen prey to the online Rx Filler ordering since 2010. Plumping my pout helped get me a major role in a film (along with talent) but my lips were mentioned as a nice point to have on camera and this is so not a want anymore, it's a career NEED. It does have some downfalls about self-injection though... Not being a professional and trained might actually make you end up spending more to buy more to inject your own every 4 months because it's not being placed correctly to maximize the results.

Great review?

Finally..kindred spirits! Yes, I had to end up doing it myself because the doctor was terrible at injections and I figured I could do it better. I ordered but now you have to have a prescription so that's out! I've been going to this rather expensive place 500 a pop for Restylane which is out of my budget and the nurse never puts it in the correct spot so now half of my face is sagging and half looks great. I've been on the search for a place to purchase. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Kitty! By the way what site do you order online from? I think the site I used worked but I'm not sure they will send the juvederm even though they already charged my card. It seems impossible to get, please help thanks babe and gladits going good for you!

All the sites I used to buy from don't ship to Canada anymore! Thanks for the info! Never thought of DVD's. Someone had a great idea to do that.

It is an art. I go to the office every once in a while about 5 months and get a fill. I ask how my lips are from previous- (my secret fill they don't know about) which might be a nodule and they say it's normal asked what was used, and then they do my fill and I watch carefully. NO excuse or am I saying I am filling myself as educated at all guys.

Buying Restylane Online and Injecting Yourself?

HollywoodAngels 5 Oct 2012

By the way everyone we can't post website links on here for some stupid reason (I tried). So if your posting something you need to write out the brand name instead of the site link or search key words to find the right site. Sorry that's an annoying rule for a message board but just thought I'd let you all know. Again ladies please post your website names only for buying Juvederm or other fillers online prescription free. So far I'm still having no luck finding one, I saw one a couple years ago, but maybe since then regulations have really cracked down. Thanks for your input :)

Jenny, I just did a simple Google search and found it for sale on several sites. I just searched Juvederm online. I'd be wayyy to chicken to self inject!

Here I am 20 Jul 2012

Wow your lips look amazing! GREAT job!

JennyboBenny 24 May 2012

Hey Actress,
If you come back to this page please let us know how you get the juvederm ! ! :) ive been looking but haven't had any luck! help a girl out :P lol best of luck with your career!

i personally would never self inject. i am a huge fan of fillers but the medical knowledge needed to properly administer juverderm in a safe way should be relative to that of a doctor or fully trained nurse. the nerve ending and muscle stucture of the face is extremely complex and needs a professional to administer. cheaper products bought online may not be safe and i think your face is too precious to do this yourself to save a few pounds. please think twice before doing this the results can be disasterous.

What is the website? How much do u pay? I wasn't aware u could do this online. AMAZING. Thank u for the post.

I wish I wasn't allergic to Juvederm/Voluma :( as it can look amazing & boost self confidence .

SassyMum 25 Jan 2012

You did a fantastic job!! What's the name of the website?

Australia6246 18 Jan 2012

Not at all if it works for you I'm glad honestly :)

Kitty_2013 18 Jan 2012

yes, I buy it online. No not trained, and although I may sound a bit contradictive I am not advocating self-injecting either.

Australia6246 18 Jan 2012

I gather you must be a trained Nurse injector.

Victoria840 17 Jan 2012

Thanks. Do you buy it online?

Kitty_2013 17 Jan 2012

The needles are 27G that come with it. Very tiny. I also use emla cream to freze my lips. Plus Juvederm now had .03% lidocaine in it which is a local anesthetic so it also makes it more bearable.

Victoria840 17 Jan 2012

Where do you purchase it. I am in Canada also and not afraid of needles either and it is expensive to have done by a "professional".

mofo 17 Jan 2012

I wish I had the nerve to do this, but I can't even look at the needles they're using. Hopefully as it becomes more prevalent with more competition the price will come down to a more reasonable amount.

Minor Bruising, gone in 1-3 days (small bruises at injection site) Lipstick definitely hides it however.

The challenge is getting the juvederm to go in smoothly without lumping in balls in your lip. Also it's important after 'making a pass' to massage the juve to even it out better but this is kind of difficult when your a tad bit in pain and doing it on your self. Bad experience? A 'nodule' but but the benefits outweigh the nodules so far. Unless your a Doctor you will never inject perfectly!
