Are Skin Boosters Restylane Vital for wrinkly tummy area safe and effective?

anon49532Jul 18, 2016
Tummy tuck is not an option. I have found a local doctor who has recommended skin boosters Restylane Vital to improve the texture of the skin which stretched after child birth and a significant weight loss.
