Hello my lovelies! On Monday I was lucky enough to attend a very informative event at Spruce in San Francisco. This blogger event called, “what’s her secret?” was brought together for the purpose of informing us about Restylane® Silk & Restylane® Lyft. Restylane Silk is the first FDA-approved product specifically designed for lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth (patients must be 21+ years). And Restylane Lyft is also the first and only FDA approved filler for cheek augmentation and the correction of moderate to severe smile lines. Now that you know what these products are, I can tell you all about this fabulous event.
We started off by getting a background explanation on how our faces age, which was super cool because I always wondered that. The thing that I loved about these products were how subtle the injections were, and how big of a difference they made!
My favorite part was when doctor Vic A. Narurkar did demonstrations on a few audience members. He explained how the process worked, how long these injections last, and how much of a difference they can make on our face. He even explained what type of anesthesia you should ask of when getting these types of procedures. ps: injections can last 6 months!
Also there is a rewards program called, The ASPIRE Galderma Rewards program and it is an amazing opportunity for you to earn extra benefits when using Galderma aesthetic treatments. Each new member also receives a $20 Treatment Certificate which can be applied toward your next treatment. more info at: AspireRewards.com/WhatsHerSecret.
