Restylane® is a natural dermal filler that has been used in more than a million treatments in over 60 countries. It is approved in the U.S. for injection into the skin.. Restylane® can be used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as to restore or enhance the appearance of your lips. It’s quick and easy. The recovery time is minimal and the results are immediate and lasting.
Restylane® is a crystal-clear gel made of a natural plant-derived hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, along with collagen and elastin, form the natural meshwork that makes up all of the body’s connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body to provide the soft supple texture of the skin and lips. It is like a carpet pad underneath a carpet.
As we age this natural padding becomes oxidized by the sun’s rays and eventually wears thin. By injecting Restylane® into the dermis of the skin we can restore the natural fullness of the padding and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.
Restylane® maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is hydrophilic or “water loving,” absorbing 1000 times its weight in water. As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results.
Unlike other hyaluronic acid-based products, such as those made from rooster combs, only Restylane is non-animal-based. Restylane is proven to deliver a longer lasting effect than traditional collagen with virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. Bovine collagen is derived from cowhide and requires an allergy test. Restylane can be administered without pretesting, so no waiting is required.
Restylane is a safe and natural dermal filler that restores fullness to the skin and lips. There are no delays for allergy testing prior to treatment. The procedure is simple and convenient and the effects are immediate and lasting.
If you would like to enjoy a smoother, more youthful appearance for the next six months, or even longer, ask your physician if Restylane is right for you. Restylane can provide beautiful, lasting results.
Possible Side-Effects include redness, swelling, and rare allergic reactions.
