has any one tried Juverderm (helps with wrinkles etc) I was thinking of giving it a try

[Velvetee]

Yes I had Juvederm about 3 years ago. It was injected into my Naso Labial lines (Nose to Mouth) and the results were very impressive, however, it only lasted for a week, it's supposed to last up to 9 months. Anyway my Surgeon redid it and it lasted a further 5-6 months.

Thanks Velvetee I just want it in between the eyes BUT I am very wary ................after 6 months did you have it done again? Did the lines look worse or the same as before you had it done?

[Velvetee]

I haven't had it redone yet, but after I've had my baby and got back in shape, I'll have it done again. After six months it didn't look worse, actually looked a bit better than before I had it done.

Juvederm and other fillers contain Hyaluronic Acid, which is naturally found in the body anyway, it's not as though an unatural substance is being injected. Just make sure you use a Cosmetic Surgeon to do it, I wouldn't use a beauty salon or someone who hasn't any medical training.

I don't know if Fillers or Botox would be best for between the eyes, so best to enquire.

Many thanks Velvetee when is your baby due? Is it your first? I did enquire at a beauty salon they have a "nurse" who comes in they say no problems in the 5 years they have been doing it. The nurse will do a consultation first I have never had anything like this what is the best way to first a first class consultant?

Baby was due last Saturday, so he's running late. And yes it's my first.

The best way of finding a surgeon is through recommendation or asking your GP to refer you.

You can also find one through BAAPS http://www.baaps.org.uk/ where you should be able to find a registered cosmetic surgeon. Also many Dentists are now carrying out minor cosmetic procedures like fillers.

If you choose to use a Beauty Salon, ensure you ask to see certificates of training and ask to speak to previous clients, to see if they were happy with results.
