Restylane®
Restylane is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally exists within human cells. Unlike other filler products, that are derived from animal sources, Restylane is Non-Animal hyaluronic acid. Restylane is “cross-linked” or stabilized making the material less likely to be degraded and helping with persistence of the volume injected.

Restylane has been used extensively in Europe and Canada since 1996 and received FDA approval for use in the U.S. in 2003.

Restylane can be used to fill lines and wrinkles on the face and to enhance the appearance and fullness of the lips. As the material is soft and pliable, the results are extremely natural.

An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin or a small amount of local anesthetic can be used to lessen the discomfort associated with injection. Most patients will experience mild swelling and temporary redness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within 1-3 days.

Most of the correction achieved with Restylane will persist at least 3 months with some persistent correction for as long as 6 months.

The cost of Restylane is equivalent to the cost of collagen injections with twice the longevity of results.
