| What areas can be treated?
Evolence treatments can be used to smooth out lines especially moderate to deep facial wrinkles. A common area of use are nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the outside of the nose to the outside of the mouth.
How long does it take to see the results and how long does the treatment effect last?
Evolence helps provide structure to your skin by working with your own collagen. The beneficial effects of Evolence are noticed immediately and actually improve over the first weeks as the product absorbs water.
One of the great advantages of Evolence is that the effects are long-lasting but not permanent. You are always in control of your looks. Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age, and the injection technique of the practitioner. Facial lines and facial shaping treatments usually last about 6-9 months. Part of what determines the longevity is whether enough volume is used initially to correct the volume defect.
Do Evolence treatments hurt?
Evolence injections are well tolerated. For patients that desire it, a topical anesthetic can be used.
Is there any downtime with Evolence?
You may notice slight swelling, redness or bruising following Evolence injections, not unlike any other injection. When they occur, these effects are temporary and don’t generally interfere with any activities. Longer periods of inflammation and swelling are quite rare.
It is advisable to avoid sunbathing, exercise, alcohol and cold outdoor activities for six hours after treatment.
