I've had excellent results with radiance, a substance
used to increase facial volume. My face looks fuller,
healthier and younger. Has anybody else used radiance
and experienced first hand how long it lasts in the
face? I've seen studies that say 2 years but plastic
surgeons estimate that it lasts 4-7 years.

I am having radiance done next month. Please tell me how long you have had it and what you think. I also went to a plastic surgeon today and he said that a new thing called article or something will be approved in June and that it is permanent. Tell me about your radiance and how it looks and is holding up. I had rystyline put in my lines around mouth and lips. It is not holding at all.

Did you get the Radiance in one or many sessions? How many cc's did it take to do the whole face? I would love the fullness of a filler without the risks. Also, am wondering what a procedure like this costs. Thanks so much for the information. I think the longevity of radiance varies from patient to patient and I have also heard that it can last from one to 7+ years.

I am going today to get the first radiance ( If the doctor thinks I am ready as I have some rystyline still left in my lines.It did not last long at all).It cost 1500 for the first tube. I don't know how many ccs that is.I will find out)
I got another quote which was more expensive. A top plastic surgeon just told me about Artecol which will be released in June. Look it up on the internet. It is supposed to be permanent.
