Restylane is a popular non-animal alternative to collagen replacement therapy and consists of a clear gel, which will smooth wrinkles and folds and give contours, as well as providing lip augmentation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Restylane, a crystal-clear gel is injected under the surface of the skin in tiny amounts using a fine needle, giving natural volume and smoothing out wrinkles in the treated area. Restylane gives shape with the body’ s own natural material called hyaluronic acid. It binds water in the skin, to lift and give new firmness. The results are instantaneous and no pre-testing is needed with the session taking less than 30 minutes.

WHERE CAN IT BE USED?
With Restylane, the product range is specially designed for different purposes and effects. Restylane for wrinkle correction and lip enhancements, Restylane Fine Lines for correcting thin, superficial lines around the eyes and mouth, forehead lines and smile lines (the lines appearing on the cheeks). Restylane Perlane for shaping facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, correcting deep folds, and for volume augmentation of the lips.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Restylane is long lasting but not permanent. How long a treatment holds its effect is very individual. This depends on many factors, such as your age, skin type, life style and muscle activity, as well as on the injection technique. Most patients choose to have a follow-up treatment six to twelve months after an initial treatment of wrinkles or facial contouring. After lip treatments, a follow-up is normally needed after about six months.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
As it is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reaction in patients who are sensitive to common foods such as beef, chicken and eggs. After the treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the implant site.
