The New Injectables

By Marissa Gold

You've probably heard of Restylane and Juvederm, the new "it" injectables. But don't compare them to Botox: These smooth liquid-gels are made of a nontoxic substance your body already contains, so there's no risk of allergic reactions. They can plump up lips and fill in wrinkles in minutes, and if you don't like the results, they're not permanent. Sound too good to be true? Get the facts and find out.

Many patients come in shortly before a wedding, photo shoot, or other big event, as the downtime is minimal and results immediate.
