Hi,
Now that I am 46, I find that I have aged increasingly quickly and have developed more severe wrinkles even over the last six months or so. Stress hasn't helped either. If I were to be interested in "restoring" some of my "youth" (:)), then I gather fillers of some kind would be a very good option. I have heard that hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm perhaps) is the best choice since it is natural, or already in the body. My question is if you have had hyaluronic acid fillers, were you completely satisfied with the result? Was there any hint of fakeness about the results, because I don't want that? Also, over time, can a hyaluronic acid serum achieve the same result as fillers or is that a pipe dream?

Serums are good but never achieve the same results as fillers.
Beware. I'm in the UK where things like this ain't as well regulated as they are in the US and some other places, and for instance I see them advertised even at hairdresser's sometimes, which I think is of questionable legality, no? Even here? Anyways I did some searching and hyaluronic acid fillers, though they got less potential to make you look like a rubber maid, LOL, still have potential side effects. One lady in the Daily Mail was talking about her provider hitting a vein while injecting it. Another mentioned terrible burning sensations. More talk about completely ruined looks... These things can work out nicely or they can be a disaster. Picking a reputable clinic is a must if you do go ahead but even so, yeah, make sure to ask about potential complications in detail...
Hyaluronic acid fillers, and they come under many, many brand names, are great. Because hyaluronic acid is body identical and you are essentially just replacing what the body lost with age in order to look younger again, unlike other dermal fillers, there is no need to worry about allergies or other adverse reactions. Hyaluronic acid fillers are great for forehead lines, wrinkles between the eyebrows, Marionette lines near the mouth, and basically all other wrinkles as well as having the potential to clear up minor scarring as well.
If you're not ready for dermal fillers quite yet, you might also like to look into a hyaluronic acid serum to encourage anti-aging from the outside in rather than the other way around.
