Santé recently gave away a full Restylane Skinbooster treatment, and our winner, Danielle (40), shares her firsthand experience. Today: her second session.
More than two weeks after the first treatment, I'm back at Dr. Gijs Anker's practice in Amsterdam for my second Restylane Skinbooster session. I'm far less nervous this time—now I know it doesn't hurt much.
The bruise from the first treatment has vanished, and the results were visible right away. The folds around my mouth had smoothed out dramatically, almost disappearing. But after a week, they started to deepen again—not as bad as before, but not as plump as immediately post-treatment.
I hesitated to mention it, not wanting to seem ungrateful for this complimentary treatment. Dr. Gijs Anker, a skilled practitioner with years of expertise in aesthetic dermatology, is incredibly approachable. Fair enough, he explained this is normal, which is why three treatments are recommended with Restylane Vital for optimal results. Reviewing the before photos from the first session confirmed clear improvement.
So, I settle into the treatment chair. Dr. Anker—whom I affectionately call 'Doctor Magic'—injects not just around the mouth corners but also further into the cheeks. It feels slightly more sensitive this time, but the topical anesthetic and ice packs make it manageable. Best of all, no bruises afterward! The improvement is immediate.
Reinvigorated by our focus on skin health, I resumed my old passion for Bikram yoga the next day: 90 minutes of challenging poses in a 40°C room. Staring at my reflection for that long, I noticed the genuine smile on my face throughout—something I could never maintain before!
