  • Posted to Sculptura Little Lumps -Manitoba, Canada on 19 Apr 2013

    I agree, the stuff just doesn't really work. I had two treatments, didn't notice much if any change. Also, the way it works (inducing inflammation, which supposedly stimulates collagen), seems risky, which is also evidenced by the high rates of bad side effects (lumps, chronic inflammation, etc.)

  • Posted to Latisse Problems - Severe Headache and Neck Pain - Lexington, KY on 19 Jun 2012

    I've given up Latisse after two years of use. I liked the lashes, and got used to my red eyelids (and used to covering up the redness with makeup). But then my doctor pointed out how badly inflamed my eyelids were. I realized then that, yes, my eyes always feel dry and irritated. So, three weeks of the Latisse now, my eyes look and feel so much better! I still have my long lashes, too, though I'm sure they'll be shedding and I'll be back to regular length in a month or so. But my eye health and comfort is worth it!

    Sure, my provider is {edited} of Iowa City, IA. She careful and skilled and really takes her time with injections and asks for my feedback as she's doing it (I'm provided with a hand mirror).

    Edited by Sharon: We've added your doctor's info to the review. Thanks!

  • Posted to HATED the Results...overloaded with Tiny WHITE BUMPS!!! on 18 Feb 2010

    I get a few random white bumps after every Restylane injection. My theory is that this is some of the restylane working it's way out of the skin. Sometimes the bumps will not appear until a few weeks after the injections. I have found that they are somewhat like an acne blemish, in that if you carefully squeeze it, the white part comes out, then it heals up nicely. I know y'all are thinking, you just had some zits. Believe me, I know my face and I know zits and these are not zits. They're Restylane bits!

  • Posted to Dysport ROCKS! for my Forrow (Between my Eyes) on 18 Feb 2010

    Well, every new injectable claims it "lasts longer" than its predecessors. Since it's the same substance as Botox, I doubt it lasts longer. How long it lasts basically depends on how much you get.
