Santé magazine recently offered a full Restylane Skinbooster treatment as a giveaway. Lucky winner Danielle, 40, shares her firsthand account. Here's what happened during her first session.
"I was hesitant but entered Santé's competition for a skin rejuvenation treatment with Restylane anyway. I never win anything, so I was stunned when they called to say I'd be seeing cosmetic doctor Gijs Anker in Amsterdam the next day."
The timing was perfect—my 40th birthday was approaching. People often guess my age younger, and I don't feel 40, but the folds from nose to mouth give it away. You can cover gray hair, but not those lines under the heaviest foundation.
Dr. Anker, who looks wrinkle-free himself in his late 30s, confirmed he uses Restylane too. Reassuringly, more than 10 million people worldwide have had this treatment. It barely hurts, but I opted for anesthetic cream.
He targeted the areas around my mouth—those persistent lines others call 'laughter lines,' even when I'm not smiling. Years of facial weight loss left them sunken. With Restylane Vital, the skin won't fully erase wrinkles but will regain moisture, elasticity, and a fresher, natural look through this skin rejuvenation treatment.
Emboldened by our chat, I settled into the treatment chair. My skin was cleansed, anesthetic cream applied to my cheeks, and I held ice packs—great for nerves or post-injection soothing. While it took effect, we chatted casually, distracting me from the three injection needles per side filled with Vital gel. The pricks were minimal; ice them, and it was done.
At home, my mouth area already seemed fuller, with folds slightly less deep. The odd sensation faded as anesthesia wore off. That evening, minor bruising and small bumps appeared near the mouth corners, but a special ointment helped. By morning, most were gone. "A hundred times better than the dentist," I thought, eager for the next treatment.
