Dutch supermodel Frederique van der Wal has been announced the new face of Swedish dermal filler Restylane, used for correction of aging skin. The 37-year-old fashion veteran will appear on the company’s web-site and informational brochures and will also serve as the product’s spokesperson.
"Restylane is a product I truly believe in," said Ms. Van Der Wal, according to StockHouse USA.
"Maintaining a youthful appearance is vital to my career, so I was excited to find a natural, non-invasive treatment that can safely erase some of the fine lines I've recently started to notice. With a procedure like Restylane, I can make subtle improvements where and when I need to without worrying about side effects or recovery time."
Frederique, whose career began with the Elite “Look of the Year” contest, posed for Sports Illustrated Swimwear Issue and Victoria’s Secret catalogues, appeared on nine Cosmopolitan covers shot by famed photographer Francesco Scavullo, and was featured in such top magazines as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and Mademoiselle.
"We are delighted to have Frederique onboard as the new face of Restylane," said Jonah Shacknai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Medicis, the company that is marketing and selling the product in the U.S.
"Her enthusiasm for the product coupled with her immense success in the modeling and entertainment industries and great personality make her a natural choice for us."
