Georgina said: "The Evolence injections were a little painful but bearable due to the anesthetic placed in the area. It felt like injections your dentist would administer. My eyes watered a little but the pain was over and done with in seconds and it was soon forgotten about. Afterwards you couldn't even see where the needle went in to the skin and I was able to go to a party afterwards without anyone giving me strange looks. After a couple of days the lines were almost invisible to the eye and I feel less conscious about my lines making me look older."

The highly purified collagen in Evolence is derived from porcine (pig) tendons. Evolence experts know that you can't get syringe-happy with a new product without doing your research. Horror stories such as that of celebrity Lesley Ash, who opted for a form of collagen implant which is banned in the UK, to get that well documented trout pout, still haunt the world of beauty evolution today. Evolence on the other hand is perfectly legal in this country. Having been used effectively for decades in various medical applications such as heart valve replacement, sutures and in wound management, it has proven to be highly bio-compatible with humans, both medically and cosmetically.

To put the Evolence to the test, we sent our resident guinea pig, Georgina Hague, to give the treatment a whirl. The Evolence Breeze collagen filler can be used to correct fine to moderate facial wrinkles and folds. Georgina felt this would be beneficial for the laughter lines around her mouth. As we grow older these lines become more visible and deep, which for some people can be no laughing matter. Dr Fiona Cowie at the Hestia Day Spa in Wilmslow favours the treatment because of its smoothing effect on the skin. With other collagen treatments 'lumpy bumpy bits' can take a while to even out, but with Evolence the flawless finish is immediate.

The Hestia Day Spa specialises in the Evolence treatment as well as other treatments and also stocks exclusive beauty products. Georgina was talked through the whole procedure by Dr Fiona Cowie, one of the

UK's leading experts in the treatment. Anesthetic was wiped around the area and then left for 10 minutes until Georgina's mouth was numb. The Evolence was then injected around the laughter lines followed by massage of the area, to smooth out the product and prevent it clumping together.

Although the prospect of injections in the face may seem a little daunting, it really is very little pain for a very long lasting gain. Unlike anti-aging creams, Evolence works by completely filling the lines and wrinkles created by the loss of natural collagen in the skin - a process that occurs in all of us as we age. Once injected, it binds naturally with the body's own collagen. The results can be seen immediately and will last for up to 12 months. As Georgina certifies: "It beats spending lots of money on face creams that never deliver the results they promise."
