Restylane�
Restylane�
is a popular solution towards gaining a more youthful
appearance. It is a non-animal, biodegradable gel
composed of hyaluronic acid (a substance found in the
body that provides more volume to the skin). Through
tiny injections, Restylane� is FDA-approved for
smoothing facial folds and wrinkles in areas around the
mouth, nose, and eyes. It is also known to add fullness
to lips.
In tiny amounts, the
doctor injects crystal-clear gel into the dermis (middle
layer of skin) lifting the wrinkle into the desired
correction and creating volume in an area that has a
sunken or hollow look. This is an area where hyaluronic
acid has decreased.
Length:
A Few Minutes to a Half Hour
Side Effects:
Possible pain, redness, swelling, itching,
discoloration, and tenderness at the point of injection.
Recovery:
During the first 48 hours after treatment, you must
monitor your movements. Do not massage or rub the
treated area and (if you’ve had had lip enhancement)
avoid puckering your lips. Until the initial swelling
and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated
area to intense sunlight or extreme cold.
Results:
Results can be seen immediately; the temporary effect
can last up to 6 months (factors like age, skin type,
and daily activities can influence how long results will
last).
A natural beauty lift.
Impressions of beauty change with time - as do our faces
as we age. With Restylane�, you can have a natural
beauty lift with the body's own material. Restylane� is
a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on
a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is
injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine
needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a
long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to
your skin.
Natural beauty. Restylane�
is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and
beauty. Since 1996, more than a million people have been
successfully treated in more than 60 countries
worldwide.
