Restylane Lyft vs Sculptra: please help me decide which is best?
July 24, 2017
Asked By:shanstan1 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island
I have fairly significant loss of volume in my cheeks & hollowing under my eyes, likely due to rather low body fat (Im a bodybuilder). Im considering either Restalyn Lyft or Sculptra. From my understanding, if I am looking for instant gratification I should go with Lyft, but because I have a fast metabolism it may not last very long and that Sculptra would produce longer lasting, though not instant results. Are there other pros and cons I should consider? and which is more cost-effective?

You will need wide spectrum UV protection with SPF 30+ sunblock as well.
