Yes! We love our guinea-pigs around here. This is a really interesting concept and I'd love to find out more. For instance, do you know how much something like this costs? I didn't find too many articles in just my brief search, but I definitely look forward to reading more. The science behind it is pretty fascinating. |

Ahh I think this is the 'Dracula therpay'. They do this at Beautyworkswest in Notting Hill. Been there for facials but never done this! Maybe in the future though. |

The idea of this creeps me out. I can see how it could be good for wound healing but I'm not sure how it would be effective for wrinkles. It would be good to see some independent research.
If you do try it please let us know. |

Oh thank you for telling me. I have wasted soo much money in the past of procedures that dont work - ie latest fads! I may look into mesotherapy instead. |

I have tried mesotherapy myself-I am using restylane white because it is not expensive and gives good results. After 3-4 sessions my skin is more moisturized and firm ("like padded")- wrinkles are less pronounced.It can be done on a whole face including under eye area.
I asked my friend about dracula therapy and she noticed slight improvement in skintone but it has done nothing for wrinkles and firmness. |

Ilsa, what is restylane white? |

Not Ilsa, but it's the same as Vitale. It's a filler, but it's used in tiny amounts all over the area you want improved, to plump up and firm the skin.
I haven't tried it yet but am thinking of this for my wrists/hands. |

I believe this kind of restylane is not being available in the US. In Germany(where I live) the full name of the product is restylane white vital soon the name will be changed to restylane light
http://www.awamed.de/RESTYLANE+Vital+Light+Pen+Injector+2ml.htm
In the UK it is restylane vital
please see:
http://www.mctreatments.co.uk/restylanevital.html
restylane white vital is a form of mesotherapy-one is injecting tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid(in traditional mesotherapy vitamins etc. are being added to enrich the hyaluronic acid and create the "mesotherapy cocktail") allover the face to plump it and moisturize.
Restylane white is being injected using special pen which makes it easy to inject in tiny amounts.

I don't see how you can DIY this procedure. It requires taking some blood, placing it in a centrifuge machine which separates the plasma from the blood, and then injecting the plasma back into the skin.
I had two rounds done on my lower face - it takes months for results to show - but I can't say I saw any massive improvement. |

Hi, Keliu, I was thinking about resty white vital injections like IlsaLund referenced. I've heard about Meso Glow. http://www.mesoshealth.com/MesoGlow.html
It sounds promising.  |

Yes, that sounds interesting. I wonder if we Dermarolled with a 1mm needle and applied the hyaluronic acid we'd get a similar result. |

Sounds like a plan!!! I have been really wanting to try dermarolling again, even got some numbing cream from ADC, and some HA, might just have to give it a try!! |
