Restylane® procedures
Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal fillers that replace volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds).
Restylane® has well-defined safety profiles. Restylane has been used in over 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. and is available in more than 70 countries. It is the most studied dermal filler in the world with dozens of publications in the medical literature.
Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin. The hydrophilic or "water loving" nature of the hyaluronic acid molecules in Restylane and Perlane and their three dimensional structure allows them to bind many times their own weight in water. As hyaluronic acid begins to degrade, each molecule binds to more water which helps maintain its volume for about six months.
Restylane contains no animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions. No allergy testing is required before use. Restylane contains trace amounts of gram-positive bacterial proteins and are contraindicated for patients with a history of allergies to such material.
In a non-surgical procedure, Restylane® is injected into the skin to add volume to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Results from a typical Restylane treatment have been documented to last for about six months.*
*In 2 clinical studies, the number of patients maintaining ≥ one unit improvement at six months was 63%. Please talk to your physician about these results and about treatment duration in general.
