This post is sponsored by Restylane® Lyft and Restylane® Silk. However, the thoughts and
opinions are my own
I had the opportunity to learn about Restylane® and since I found it so fascinating, I just had
to share it with you. Restylane®
Silk and Restylane® Lyft are injectables that
help correct, or smooth, out certain wrinkles.
And after
this event, I'm fascinated!
And as I
get older, I am more and more curious about being wrinkle-free in certain
areas.
First I
got to mingle with fellow Atlanta bloggers and enjoy some light bites. Then we
got lots of information on Restylane®
Silk and Restylane® Lyft. We
met the lovely Dr. Anna Pare and her talented team. You can learn more about
her here. I'm completely being
serious when I tell you it was a super fun event! This beauty guru was a little
too excited to see what was out there. I like to keep up on what treatments are
available.
And then
the best part came when we got to see Dr. Anna Pare treat clients! First up was
a treatment for Restylane® Silk. This smooths the
lines and wrinkles around the mouth. There was a subtle change that looked
simply natural. Lips looked fuller, not "duck lips" or anything
crazy, just natural. Had I not seen the before/after live in person, I would
have never known.
Then
was Restylane®
Lyft. This
is the first and only FDA approved filler for cheek augmentation and the
correction of moderate to severe smile lines (nasolabial folds). This was the
treatment that impressed me the most. The client looked 10 years younger. We
all gasped in amazement at how great she looked. Again, it was natural.
The
results, the amazing staff, and the extremely talented and knowledgable Dr.
Anna Pare all assuaged my trepidation towards injectables.

My nasolabial lines are my biggest concern, and I have thought about getting fillers for them for a while now, but so far they haven't bothered me enough to really take the leap.

Wow thats crazy you noticed a difference right away and love that it was subtle and natural looking. I swear every year I notice a new tiny wrinkle appear. Boo <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a fun event because I've never seen anything like this done! And that's so cool you see the results right away!
ReplyDeleteI think my biggest problem area is my smile lines, it's getting deeper as I age. The thought of having something done to it has crossed my mind but on the other hand, I kinda like it. It shows how much I smile.

I personally wouldn't get this type of treatment but it's good know all the options out there.

Sounds like such a fun event! I haven't heard of this before, but it really sounds amazing.
ReplyDeletexo,

wow, that's amazing you could see such a difference. i'm not sure how i feel about treatments like this for myself, but it's good to know the options are there! have a good weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThe idea of putting needles in my face and injecting them with stuff freaks me out but as I age who knows how I'll feel. Once I start seeing wrinkles I might be all on that! Its good to know that there are safe options.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event! It's good to know there are options available and it's great that you saw immediate results!

As I get older I am more and more open to things like this. I would love to see my smile lines disappear!
ReplyDeleteI'm too young for any kind of treatment like that but I think that when I get older I would be willing to give those a try! Especially since they seem to be working really well without looking too obvious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun!
ReplyDeleteARedLip&Love
There are so many beauty treatments now. I'm afraid of the possible side effects!

That sounds like a fun event! Age is always staring me in the face every morning when I am doing my make up and see the dark circles under my eyes, the fine lines around them (some not so fine) and the laugh lines. Ugh. Oh and not to mention that i saw THREE grey hairs on my head. Girl. I freaked out!! I have a full color appt next week. Darn you age!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try something like this but it always scares me a bit but I may dive in one of these days. Great post.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad there are so many options available now. I'm seriously considering something like this for the next couple of years. Looks like a fun event!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool event! Thanks so much for sharing.

Now that I am in my thirties and have to worry for the first sings of wrinkles, Restylane seem like products I should try. Thank you for a honest review and it also sounds like it was a great eventful evening. Great photo of all of you. So many bloggers from one state, in one place.
ReplyDeleteHope you and the kids that you babysit had a fantastic Halloween, Elle!
