Do fat-burner supplements affect facial fillers longevity?

I've been taking Green Tea Fat Burner for 10 months. It workers wonders associated with exercises. I’ve lost 7lb and while taking them I’m able to keep my weight down to 155lb, which is my ideal weight. The downside is that my facial fillers (Radiesse &aSculptra) are lasting considerably less. E.g. Radiesse now lasts 5 months vs over 12 months before fat burner. Is there any scientific date on this issue? My empirical knowledge is that high metabolic rate affects duration of facial fillers.

You’re doing the right thing in applying warm compresses to the affected area, as the general rule is to apply cold during the first day and warm after that. The only other thing you can do is to wait for enough time to pass that the bruising has healed. It’s nothing to worry about and sho...
