Question 3

Why has Dr. Giuliante chosen Restylane for dermal filler?

Accepted Answer

There are different kinds of dermal filler products on the market to choose from, but you rarely find a dermal filler that is as versatile and as effective as Restylane.  Additionally, Restylane®’s hyaluronic acid consistency attracts water, helping your skin stay radiant and hydrated. Over time, the compound will also aid in natural collagen production, offering long-term results. .  After extensive research, Dr. Giuliante has chosen Restylane due to its superior ingredients, natural results, and effect in stimulating the body to produce its own anti-aging effects.

Question 4

How does Restylane Work?

Accepted Answer

Restylane works by placing volume underneath your skin where you’ve lost collagen and other tissue.  This will help prop up droopy skin, smoothing it out and making it look plumper.

·      Avoid Laser Treatments.  If you’re planning a laser treatment, postpone it for at least two weeks after the injection. Lasers generate a lot of heat, and it can cause the filler to break down and dissolve more quickly than it usually does.

Question 31

What should clients do/not do following botox administration?

Accepted Answer

Please see post-treatment instructions, located in "Forms" section of this website.

Question 32

Does Dr. Giuliante use brand-name Botox?

Accepted Answer

No, and for good reason!  After a significant amount of research, Dr. Giuliante has chosen Xeomin, rather than botox.  Brand name Botox has two disadvantages, making Xeomin a superior product.

First, brand name Botox contains an additional protein, which can cause allergic reactions (although rare). Xeomin does not contain this protein, and therefore is known as "organic Botox" or "naked Botox".

Second, due to the aforementioned protein, the body can build up a resistance to Botox.  This causes the body to create antibodies, which means that, over time, you may require a higher dose of Botox to achieve the same result.   Xeomin does not create antibodies.  Therefore, the dose  of Xeomin that you initially need will not be required to increase, unless you choose to achieve a different result.
