What
is Restylane?
Restylane
is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores fullness to the skin
to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
What
is Restylane made from?
Restylane
is made from a non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural
substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume
and fullness to the skin. Restylane is biodegradable and completely biocompatible
with human hyaluronic acid.
How long does Restylane last?
The
average treatment results last six months or even longer.
Is any
of the material left if the skin after Restylane is degraded?
No.
Restylane is completely degraded, leaving absolutely no traces of the injected
material in the body.
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. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based
disease transmission or and 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.
Are
there any side effects?
As
with any injection, some common injection-related reactions might occur. The most
common side effects are temporary redness and swelling at the injection site.
These typically resolve within two to three days.
How
is Restylane administered?
Restylane
is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts using an ultrafine needle.
After the injection, your physician may gently massage your skin to optimize contouring.
Restylane is a simple and convenient procedure and results are practically instantaneous.
How
often should I have Restylane treatments done?
Restylane
lasts twice as long as collagen, so treatments are typically scheduled twice a
year. Evidence shows that having a touch-up treatment before the product has fully
dissipated will enhance the lasting effects.
Any
pain associated with Restylane injections?
Minimal
discomfort can be expected with the treatment.
How
much does Restylane cost?
Restylane
treatments usually costs between $500 - $700 per treatment. This depends on the
treatment area and the desired result.
