Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler composed of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance which occurs as an important structural element in the skin, and helps maintain moisture and volume in your skin.
Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Restylane® is injected directly into your skin using a fine needle. To minimize discomfort during the treatment, your physician may anesthetize the treatment area.
You may experience swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration, and tenderness. This will typically last less than a week.
Restylane is proven to deliver long lasting results. Studies have shown that Restylane® effects generally last for about 6 months.
Launched in 1996 in Europe by a Sweedish manufacturer, Restylane® was the first hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours to attain a more youthful appearance. Since then over 9 million treatments have been performed.
