There is no product better on the market for facial contouring for lipoatrophy or cosmetic use. As I read the comments it always seems those that have the adverse problems never give the full story. It is very important to choose a physician that is experienced with this particular filler, unlike many others this is one that must be put in deeply and not superficial or you will get lumps and bumps that are visible. Depending on the atrophy or area it takes a certain number of treatments: cosmetically usually 2-3, but for facial contouring due to hiv lipoatrophy may take 6-8 treatments or more. This is generally done every 4-5 wks. If someone gets a treatment then waits 6 months that is way to far apart and set yourself up for no results. This product should last 18-24 months at which time you need touch up and dont have to start from scratch. It should never be used in the lips. In other areas may have to be diluted or put under muscle, such as under eyes area. We use lidocaine with epinephrine in the solution when we inject so that you get anesthesia and contriction of blood vessels, therefore, decreasing your chances of bruising. I had topical anesthesia for 30min prior to treatment. Those that I have read that were not happy should have been if it was done correctly and the time between treatments maintained. Also, veryyy important to massage face 5 times a day for 5minutes for 5 days (5-5-5- Rule)
