Restylane is a safe and
natural dermal filler made from Hyaluronic Acid that restores
volume and fullness to correct moderate to severe facial
wrinkles. Areas such as fine lines, crows feet, nasolabial
folds, glabella and "smokers lines" can be corrected. Restylane
lasts twice as long as collagen.
How is Restylane different from Collagen?
Restylane has been demonstrated to last much longer than the
standard bovine collagen injection. The occurrence of an allergic
reaction is extremely rare due to the product's non-animal associated
basis. Unlike injectable collagen filler that is made of bovine
protein and can cause an allergic reaction in some patients, Restylane is a natural substance, hyaluronic acid, which is a sugar molecule
already present naturally in the human body. The hyaluronic acid
in Restylane is similar to that found throughout your body, which
gives volume and fullness to the skin. It is both biodegradable
and compatible with human hyaluronic acid. Because of this compatibility
it is not necessary for you to be tested for skin sensitivity.
What can I expect following treatment?
You can resume normal activities following treatment. The most
commonly reported side effect has been redness and swelling at
the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a
few hours or, at most, a day or two. Results are immediately
evident. Lines, wrinkles and folds look softer and your skin
looks smooth.
