37 Y/o Mom of Two, Second Restylane Treatment After One Year Ago. Seattle, WA

I had a great result of one syringe for my jowl and tear trough a year ago at this particular clinic administered by a different nurse. I was so pleased with the results! Fast forward recently I discovered how great Botox is and how I really don't care for Radiesse. I still needed to get my tear troughs done to help resist that exhausted and aged look I feel I have on certain days. Today was one of those days in particular! I visited with the new nurse and she was thinking I didn't even need any filler and my dark circles were deep purple so there was her concern if I did go forward with even the slightest, I could be having that color remain for awhile. I talked with her a little more and made sure she knew I was seeking a refreshed look, not trying to look like a teenager but gently arrest the clock on my face. I could tell she agreed and had the same philosophy. She was excellent in explaining the product, where to use, what to expect side effects and clearly making sure there was no risk of allergy or likelihood of problems with administering the Restylane. Very artistic and thorough and I felt like I was in great hands.

She was even able to work with considering the Radiesse that was injected not too long ago and gave me great advice about that. She gave me a little poke under the eyes, around the lips all so gently and kindly as possible and before we knew it we were running out of places we could treat with that little syringe! She made sure I really agreed with the results, reiterated aftercare and advice on how I would look and even brought another practitioner around to show off her wonderful job.

In my pics these are only 8 hours later, I'm now very tender and some swelling. I have more bruising this time but it is expected from the procedure as we discussed. I have no makeup on and I don't know if you can see a little bit of purpling (the red marks are NOT from the procedure, just had a recent breakout.) Right now I'm really pleased despite the feeling and condition of being fresh post procedure.

One word-Arnica. Get it, use it, love it! No more tenderness, swelling or any signs of bruising. Amazed with the results of the work the nurse performed on me.
