uma jeunesse: dermal filler treatment nasolabial folds + under eyes (london via a deal website) - Great Britain, GB

In september I came accross an offer for a dermal filler treatment. It was on wowcher which is a website kind of like Groupon. I've already bought some treatments through their website but I used juvederm before.
I was actually certain I bought a juvederm dermal treatment too. But I feel like they changed the listing afterwards, like they did a mistake. So it was really surprising when, going to my appointment I found out I was going to receive a dermal filler named Uma jeuness. I never heard of it but the man who practiced the treatment, Andrew Carr from Andrew Carr Aesthetics on harley Street (a famous street in London for all kind of cosmetic procedures) reassured me that Uma Jeuness was well know in the industry and well effective. Weird though because he said to me this is not his office he's just replacing the woman who usually works here. Well whatever he was doing there, let me tell you about this "Harley street Face&skin" salon, nobody should go there. The receptionist is awfull and doesn't have good manners at all, which is the first quality for this job. She should get herself some training for this position.
And about the guy by himself I personnally think he was a professional but certainly lied about this 'Uma jeunesse' filler because he needed to get rid of his stock. But goshhhhhhh I can't advise anybody to use that filler ever.
The voucher I bought was £99 (meaning $154) for 1ml of dermal filler which apparently is a good price. And because 1ml was just enough for my nasolabial folds and I wanted to try an under eye treatment, which I've never done before but was left really tired after my pregnancy, he said to me I can have 1ml more for the same price so £198 ($3O8).
When I came back home I noticed a lot of bruising and I was a bit anxious. I've done a dermal filler treatment before on my nasolabial folds and the result was perfect within two days. Here after a week my face my swollen and I looked like I put on weight.
Well it's much better now I must admit. After two weeks what makes me happy is when I wake up in the morning my 'tired' look is gone but... There's a but otherwise I won't be advising people not to use Uma jeunesse... I can feel granulomas in my cheek area, where the treatment has been done. To be honest I'm not sure if it will go away. After two weeks it's kind of scary.
Also even if I don't look tired anymore I absolutely don't like the look this treatment gave me. I feel like my face is biiger than before. So I will never use this product again.

I'm very surprised to read this review of Andrew Carr and I wanted to add my experience in case it is helpful.
I have been visiting Andrew Carr since 2012 having been to most London clinics at some point for Botox or filler and I just happened upon Dr Carr after searching for offers (a wowcher or groupon or some such) I emailed to ask whether I could procure the offer directly and received an immediate reply.
I really think I have a pretty good perspective by now having spoken with a lot of doctors and the real difference is that he has people skills and is easy to talk to as well as highly skilled and this makes a world of difference when you are trying to explain your needs.
He always hands you a mirror and asks what YOU are thinking you'd like help with but will be absolutely honest if you ask for an objective opinion. The last Botox I had at his office was the best I've ever had, no blood or bruising and exactly what I wanted. I think it speaks volumes that I haven't been to any other clinic since discovering this one and I'm so glad I found it because as with hairdressers or any aesthetic service really it's best to find one who can understand your needs and get to know your face! Just really wanted to add my two pennith, oh, it's also great to be able to text for an appointment, no waiting for a callback or receptionists having to trawl through records to find you.
But to be honest my under eye treatment is not as expected I am sorry to say.
He reassured me the swelling would go away after 4/5 days, but 3 days into it and it is no different just very puffy and yellowish? It is not a nice look and I am worried.
Uma jeunesse filler : what I found out after having my treatment done (my review)
I found out the results of a comparative study who says that this filler is less painfull , actually I agree with that, and last longer with Juvederm.
I will tell you in a few weeks/months if this is true. But what's the point of having a filler that supposedely last longer if you have side effects from it ?
If you want to go for this filler this is your choice but don't do my mistake. Don't ever buy a filler treatment without knowing which product you are going for.
To be continued.

Really disappointed
So when I touch my skin and the areas where the injections have been proceed around my nasolabial folds I can feel some bumps like something is stuck here.
Also my skin is not as 'lifted' as the first few weeks anymore.
I a so disappointed with this product.
I am a mixed race woman and I know sometimes some products can affect our type of skin differently but... really !?
For your own safety, say no to 'Uma jeunesse'.

And my eyes are still yellow and baggy ? I look worse now than before treatment of hate it.
And all Andrew has said is it will go down give it time! I hate it.
And to be honest after 5 days it has not budged! I am at my wits end.
I'm glad that you think all the issues are better. I hope the granuloma goes away. I've never heard of that filler, but things get approved in the UK before the US typically. Let us know what happens with it.
