Someone suggested I add some additional info about...
I did my first syringe a few months ago and was thrilled with the immediate results. Note that you will be full immediately because it is injected with a liquid base that actually is absorbed in about a week. The fullness then builds back up over the next few weeks. After a few weeks I knew that although I looked considerably better I would be happier with a second treatment so my total treatment was 2 syringes (2 visits) over a few months. I highly recommend doing it this way. It gives you the opportunity to fill in only if you need more. Why do 2 the first time if perhaps you could get away with one but most people probably do need 2. Doing them separately allows you to tweak a little better IMO. So in actuality I spent a couple thousand but if my results are over a 2 year span as expected it is still cheaper than other fillers.
I only used this in the hollows of my cheeks. It looks natural and I still have prominent cheek bones so it was definately done with a master's touch :)
It hurts for the first few days. Soreness. A numbing agent is in the injection so the injection itself is not painful. You need to massage the area to ensure even distribution for a few days. I also took vitamin C as that is supposed to encourage collagen production. I did not bruise much at all. Just a few dots but I did use arnica cream (my own choosing, not suggested by physician specifically) and I think that minimizes bruising for me. I went to work that same night and every day after that week with no need to hide.
So my experience was positive but again I think it has so much to do with using it only in the appropriate areas and having an incredibly skilled physician do it...in my case it was Dr. Brian Biesman.

Provider Review
I have been a patient of Dr. Biesman's for several years now. I originally went to him based on his reputation as an excellent surgeon and to my surprise he gave me amazing non-surgical options. Dr. Biesman is never one to "overdo" or recommend unnecessary treatments thus I have remained a patient and have used his skills for a variety of noninvasive treatments including injectables and laser. When the time comes I will not hesitate to use him for surgical intervention as well. His staff is highly professional and you could not ask for a more intelligent and caring doctor. I have recommended him to many of my friends and am amazed at the clientelle I see in his office... everything from beautiful people "touching up" to those with true deformaties and medical problems requiring surgical intervention.
