Not that it should be a surprise, but a group of advisors to the FDA have cautioned that injected wrinkle fillers should carry warnings about things like “scarring, tissue damage and other serious complications.” There was a brief article in the Boston Globe this morning (thanks Mom for pointing it out!). It said that about 1.4 million women injected animal collagens or chemicals to smooth skin and reduce wrinkles. And apparently the manufacturers are not providing adequate warnings, and instead innaccurately stating that any side effects are “temporary”. Check out the article.

Hmm. Why inject this stuff? It just doesn’t seem right, does it? Especially when there are so many topical options that work great! Like, for instance, Like Magic and Eye Can’t Believe It!! And ours are always free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum products and phthalates!
