Restylane™ For correction of wrinkles and scars in men & women

What is Restylane™?

The resilience and youthful contours of your skin, its ability to counter the effects of time, wind and weather, owes much to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid also plays an important role giving volume to the skin, shape to the eyes and elasticity to the joints. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in your skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic acid has a chemical structure similar in some ways to sugar, and is identical in all species and in all tissue types. Restylane™ is made from NASHA gel (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid).

Each of us has good natural lines that can be emphasized and improved. Restylane™ can be used to give you a long-lasting and natural beauty lift: smoothing wrinkles and folds with surprisingly minimal discomfort.

Because the NASHA used in Restylane™ is produced by fermentation, there is no risk of transmitting diseases between species, or eliciting allergic reactions in patients who are sensitized to common foods, such as beef, chickens and eggs - Restylane™ is acceptable to vegetarians. No skin testing is needed before Restylane™ treatment.

Restylane Fine Lines™ can be used for thin, superficial lines, for example around the eyes, around the mouth and on the forehead.

Unlike collagen (which lasts 3-6 months), the benefits of Restylane™ treatment should be visible for 6-12 months, depending on the location of the treatment and the nature of your skin. Experience has shown that smaller amounts of Restylane™ are often needed for maintenance than for the initial correction.

After the treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discolouration, and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within one or two days after the injection. Other types of reactions are very rare, but about 1 in 2000 treated patients have experienced localized allergic like reactions. These reactions started about two to four weeks after the injection and lasting as long as two weeks.
