Restylane
Restylane is a highly effective, multi-use dermal filler that is very effective at filling and smoothing a variety of facial lines, folds and wrinkles. The premiere product in the dermal filler line, Restylane is popular among many people for bringing a youthful and energetic appearance to their skin. It’s the difficult stresses of everyday living in addition to normal aging that break down the collagen and hyaluronic acid structures in our skin, causing the wrinkles, folds and lines on our faces.

Using a product such as Restylane gives an immediate boost to your attitude and a great fresh look to your face, which is something we all deserve. It’s really a very small price to pay for the increase in self-worth and good looks that a Restylane treatment brings.
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, which means it is made from the complex sugar acid found naturally in our bodies that clings to water molecules to provide fullness to the skin and give the skin it’s underlying structure and support.
The hyaluronic acid used in Restylane is not from animals, nor is it from humans. This means that patients who’s plastic surgeons recommend Restylane will find that they rarely, if ever, suffer any allergic reactions to the product.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) adds volume to the skin, acts as a lubricant for joints, and defines the eye and cheek structure. The type of HA used in Restylane is specially formulated for stability and durability, so the results from Restylane treatment are long lasting and beautiful.
Restylane is used to reverse fine lines and light to moderate facial wrinkles and folds anywhere on the face. Because of its versatility, it can also be used as a lip filler, to define and clarify the lip line, reduce and fill scars, and plump areas that have lost volume, such as the hollows under the eye.
The durability of Restylane is fantastic, with results of the procedures lasting up to 12 months – twice as long as the effects of collagen injections, and without the pre-testing and worries about allergies.
The versatile Restylane is used for many areas on the face, including worry lines on the forehead, the glabellar lines between the brows, periobital lines, or “crows feet” near the eyes, nasolabial folds, vermilion border, smile lines and tear through areas near the eyes.
It is also used for chin and lip augmentation as well as cheek augmentation and facial contours for those who want to enhance the look of their face.
Treatment for Restylane is quite quick. It generally takes 30 minutes for a treatment injection, and the results are immediately obvious. There is generally some swelling or redness, and perhaps a bit of itching immediately after the procedure, due to the injection. It can take a week for this swelling and itching to abate. If it lasts longer, you should contact the center where you had your cosmetic surgery done.
Less invasive and permanent than a nose job or eye surgery, using Restylane is a great way to enhance your self image at without a huge investment of time or money.
