RESTYLANE®

Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid injectable gel that should always be administered by a trained, medically qualified practitioner. Restylane® closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. It enhances your natural looks by restoring your skin's volume, creating softness and revitalizing your appearance.

Restylane® has been proven to be safe, effective and long lasting.

Restylane® can instantly soften aging lines or improve your looks by enhancing your natural features. Restylane® restores volume and smooths irregular lines and imperfections. Long lasting but not permanent, Restylane® allows you to stay in control of your looks.

Restylane® is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle. The gel provides hydration and structure and gives natural volume to smooth away the appearance of lines, enhance facial shape, or create fuller lips. It is a subtle approach to enhancing looks naturally.

The treatment is very quick and often takes less than 30 minutes. 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.

The most common treated areas are:

  • From the nose to the angle of the mouth (the nasolabial folds)
  • Lips (enhancement)
  • Cheeks and chin (shaping)
  • Between the eyebrows (the glabellar lines)

One of the great advantages of Restylane® is the effects are long lasting, but not permanent.

Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age and the degree of perfection demanded by the patient and the injection technique of our physicians.

Some people may experience mild discomfort. A local anesthetic cream may be used. Another form of anesthesia, a dental block may be used to numb the area when enhancing lips.

You can expect slight redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching and/or bruising following Restylane® treatment. This is the same as you might expect with any type of injection. However, the discomfort is temporary and generally disappears after a few days. With lip enhancement, it is wise to choose your treatment time with care since your lips may become swollen and appear slightly uneven for a few days.
