Restylane®
Restylane® is the smart and easy way to add volume and smoothness to your skin. Restylane® is based on a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the body's own hyaluronic acid. It is long lasting, but not permanent. Restylane® is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and beauty. Since 1996, millions of treatments have been successfully performed in more than 70 countries worldwide. |

| What are the benefits of Restylane®? |
Restylane can instantly soften telltale aging lines or improve your looks by enhancing your natural features, such as your cheeks or lips. Restylane® restores volume, improves skin elasticity, and smoothes over lines and imperfections. |
| |
| How does Restylane® work? |
Restylane® is a crystal-clear gel produced biotechnologically using stabilized, nonanimal hyaluronic acid and water. The hyaluronic acid is a tissue-friendly substance closely resembling the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. By replenishing nature’s supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane® revitalizes and plumps up the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and giving a softer look. |
| |
| What is the process for injecting Restylane®? |
Restylane® is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle. The treatment benefits can normally be seen instantly and Restylane® does not affect facial expression. No skin test is required because Restylane® does not contain any animal-derived ingredients. |
| |
| How long does a Restylane® treatment last? |
| One of the great advantages of Restylane® is that the effects are long lasting but not permanent. You are always in control of your looks. |
- Facial lines and facial shaping: follow-up treatment is usually needed after
6-12 months
- Lip enhancement: follow-up treatment is normally needed in about 6 months
- Skin rejuvenation and deep hydration: after the initial intense treatment of
3 treatment sessions every 2-3 weeks, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 months
|
| Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded by the patient and the injection technique of the practitioner. |
| |
| Does Restylane® hurt? |
| Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anesthetic cream is often used. Another form of anesthesia, a dental block, is used to numb the area when enhancing lips. |
