Restylane is a non-surgical way of instantly improving facial wrinkles and folds. It is the first cosmetic filler that provides skin rejuvenation while restoring volume and fullness to the skin by correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles & folds. Used by dermatologists worldwide, it has been used in over 3 million treatments in over 60 countries. FDA-approved in the U.S., Restylane is made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Treatment areas include wrinkles & the folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth, forehead lines, glabellar creases, and acne scars. Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture; therefore treatments are scheduled typically twice a year. No pretesting is necessary and is administered immediately, no waiting is required. With topical local anesthesia, Restylane is injected into the skin directly by an ultra fine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. Results are instantaneous, and minimum preparation time is needed before completing the treatment. Post procedure, the treated sites commonly appear red & slightly swollen for 3 to 5 days, which disappear completely. Side effects may include temporary bruising especially if the patient has this tendency. Results last 4 to 6 months or longer.
