Facial Fillers: Restylane®

Aging is inevitable, and normal. The skin loses Collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, resulting in thinner skin that sags and forms wrinkles and folds. The loss of moisture and natural oils as we age contributes to fine lines in the skin. These factors, combined with the marks of normal facial expressions, such as smiling and laughing, over time can leave everyone with a few more lines, creases and folds with each passing year.

Fortunately, in today’s day and age we can replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin by smoothing away those moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds with the treatment of Restylane®.

What is Restylane®?
Restylane®, was developed by Swedish scientists and is a crystal-clear gel made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid called, NASHA™. It is administered into the skin by injection and the results can be seen instantly. Restylane ® is the world's most used, most studied dermal filler, and has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S.

Where Can Restylane® be Used?
Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler that replaces lost volume and restores youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Restylane® can also be used to add structural support to the areas on the face that have lost their elasticity and definition such as the chin and beneath the eyes.
Restylane is also a great way to create beautiful looking lips. Whether it’s to add volume and give you that perfect plump or simply give your lips definition, Restylane® can do just that!

How Long Does Restylane® Last?
Studies have shown that the average treatment results last up to six months or even longer. The unique NASHA™ technology helps maintain the cosmetic effect until the injected material is nearly gone.

Is Restylane® Safe?
Yes. Restylane® has been used safely by Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons since 1996 worldwide. Because Restylane® is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. There is virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. The most commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days.

If you want to enjoy a smoother, more youthful appearance for up to six months, or even longer, ask your physician if Restylane® is right for you. The simple procedure can be done during your lunch hour. And the effects are immediate.
