Anti Aging with Sasha - Permanent fillers collagen, etc. for lips and cheeks.
 










How to fill in hollow cheeks, huge wrinkles, and enhance lips!

Would you like to regain the 'plumped out' look you had when you were younger?

When most people think of dermal fillers, they think of collagen or Perlane (Hyaluronic Acid).

Facial fillers are used for all kinds of problems - hollow cheeks - severe wrinkles and furrows, lip enhancement and plumping lips to eradicate lines around them (along with resurfacing treatments).

Hyaluronic acid (also called 'Perlane' or 'Restylane') is better than collagen in terms of how long it lasts and the amount needed, but these fillers share a common disadvantage - they are temporary.

I can see the point of a temporary collagen injection if you are not quite sure whether you will like the result or not, say, for lip enhancement. Or you don't know how much you want something augmented. Or what you want done is simply a question of fashion and soon you might want it undone again. Or you are a dermatologist who likes getting paid over and over again for tempory relief of a condition that can actually be cured. But, for certain things temporary fillers are a complete waste of money. Collagen simply does not cut it and, if you are any age at all you will be lucky if it even lasts a month. There are longer dermal lasting fillers now.

Say you have a problem that is not just one of the whims of fashion - very thin lips or cheek hollows so pronounced you look like John Kerry? Perhaps deep nose to mouth furrows?

You can use a tmporary filler first if you want, but personally I'd consider it unneccessary. Who looks good with very hollow cheeks?

Surgeons like to recommend facelifts for hollow cheeks. But, if you have a face lift when your real problem was hollow cheeks, you will end up with the tightest face on the block, when there was a better solution! Loose skin and sagging skin is only loose and saggy because there used to be soft tissue inside it! Cutting away the loose skin without addressing the soft tissue loss is pointless. One of the effects of getting older is that we loose soft tissue under the skin. What we need is a dermal filler to put it back in. A permanent one. An injectable 'implant' dermal filler.

There is one by the name of 'Aquamid' and its been used for years in Europe.

I just checked Overture Search Engine. 15 thousand searches a month for 'collagen' and a measley 350 for 'aquamid'?? Folks sure like spending money! No-one told you about a permanent yet alternative to collagen, when it would save you spending lots of money all the time?

I can't imagine why not :)

If you want to get treatment in the US, it is not going to be easy to find. The best way would be to ask the cosmetic surgeons and beauticians who use Restylane, Perlane or collagen if they have any for off label use. Sometimes they bring it in from Europe while on their travels there. If you keep pestering for it, they might bring it more often :)
