Are Wrinkle Fillers Better Than Wrinkle Creams?

March 9, 2010

Just like an anti wrinkle cream product, wrinkle fillers are a non-permanent solution for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. Over the past several years, the marketing campaigns surrounding wrinkle fillers have created a perception of being more of a long term solution to wrinkles. In reality, that depends on exactly what you consider to be long-term. Even the best wrinkle fillers currently available will last for a maximum of several months after which time to body begins to break down the filler material and treatment needs to be performed again to renew the results. Wrinkle creams are generally considered to be a short term solution to wrinkles because they usually require daily application.

Comparing Wrinkle Fillers to Anti Wrinkle Creams

The treatment process for wrinkle fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane involves injecting a filler product such as collagen (or any one of several other synthetic blends) into the skin to plump up wrinkles and restore a smoother appearance. The injections are fairly safe and typically involve a minimal amount of pain during the procedure. Anti wrinkle creams on the other hand take a topical approach by focusing on providing valuable nutrients to the skin from the surface. These products are also very safe in most cases provided that you are buying from a trusted company or established brand.

The next area of comparison will focus on the cost of the two different approaches to getting rid of wrinkles. Wrinkle fillers are usually priced per treatment and average anywhere from around $280 to as much as $950. Keep in mind when evaluating the cost of such treatments that treatments occur approximately every six months so your cost per month is actually lower than the cost of a single treatment when you break it down. A treatment costing $900 would actually break down to $150 per month if the treatment was performed every six months. Wrinkle cream products on the other hand usually come in a one to three month supply and cost between $20 and $120 depending on the manufacturer and what ingredients are being used.

So which one is better?

That depends on how you look at it. If you can’t stand the thought of spending hundreds of dollars at a time to battle lines and wrinkles or if you are afraid of needles, choosing a good topical wrinkle firming cream is probably the best solution for you. If you don’t mind spending the extra money and are willing to deal with several injections, a wrinkle filler might be the way to go.

Revitol Reviews

December 12, 2006

Recently, I’ve come across numerous internet based advertisements for an anti aging skin care solution called Revitol. As with any other anti wrinkle solution, we wanted to find out if it was really as good as it sounds. We decided to have our review team check them out to find out if the product really worked and see what kind of reputation the company itself had.

What did we discover?

As always, we go through the trouble of reading the fine print deep in the terms and conditions page so you don’t have to. We did find some red flag items. When an order is placed, you are automatically signed up to receive the product every six months. The site claims that you can cancel at any time but if that is the case; why not make the automatic delivery optional? The second thing that our review team found was some expensive shipping and handling $7.95 for domestic shipments and $29.95 for international. That could be considered reasonable however, they disclose deep within the site that orders take anywhere from 10-14 business days for delivery. They also disclose that a $10 processing fee will be charged to all returns and that returns will only be accepted if the customer has completed their program. Does this mean that if I am allergic to the product and am unable to use it that I can’t even return it? Our review team decided to dig a little deeper by checking out Revitol with the Better Business Bureau. We were less than thrilled by what we found. The company carries a “D” rating which the BBB defines as, “We have enough concerns about this company that we recommend caution in doing business with it.” Here is another direct quote from the BBB, “We believe this company’s advertising is misleading.” Based on this information, we decided to save our money and avoid purchasing the product for further review. This was more than enough information to convince us to stick with some of our previously reviewed products that have delivered good results and backed them with professional customer service. After numerous reviews, the hands down favorite product of our review team remains the Athena 7 Minute Lift. You can read the full write up on that product elsewhere on the site or visit their website for more information at: Athena 7 Minute Lift

Look for more reviews in upcoming weeks as we continue our search for the best anti aging creams and wrinkle minimizing products!
