Description:
Used in more than 4 million treatments in over 70 countries,
Restylane is among the most popular of the dermal fillers.
Restylane utilizes hyaluronic acid to restore volume
and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial
wrinkles and folds. Restylane is also very popular for plumping
and/or defining lips.
Restylane has a highly favorable safety profile and is composed
of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid
is a substance found naturally in the human body. Restylane
is fully biocompatible and maintains its shape using the body's
own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is hydrophilic
or "water loving." As hyaluronic acid gradually
degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time,
the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid.
This is what helps provide long-lasting results.
Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting results and studies
have shown that the effects generally last about six months.
What is Restylane?
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.
What is Restylane made of?
Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler
made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that
already exists in the human body and is
used to provide volume and fullness to the
skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a
crystal-clear gel called NASHA, or Non-
Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA
is biodegradable and fully biocompatible
with human hyaluronic acid.
How is Restylane different than other hyaluronic acid-based products?
Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acid based
products, Restylane is free from animal
proteins. This quality limits any risk of
animal-based disease transmission or allergic
reaction. Restylane contains trace amounts
of gram-positive bacterial proteins and
should not be used by patients with a history
of allergies to such material. Additionally,
Restylane has the highest concentration of
hyaluronic acid available in a dermal filler.
Is Restylane safe?
Yes. Restylane has been used by dermatologists
and plastic surgeons since 1996
worldwide. There is limited risk of animal based
disease transmission or allergic
reaction. Restylane is fully biocompatible
and allergy testing is not required. Restylane
contains trace amounts of gram-positive
bacterial proteins and should not be used by
patients with a history of allergies to such
material. After your treatment, you might
have some redness or swelling. This will normally
last less than seven days. Sunbathing
and cold outdoor activities should be avoided
until any redness or swelling disappear. If
you are pregnant, breast feeding, or under 18,
you shouldn't use Restylane.
Can Restylane be used anywhere on the face?
Restylane has been used in more than 1.5
million treatments in over 60 countries to
correct a variety of wrinkles. In the U.S. the
FDA has approved Restylane for wrinkles
and folds like the ones from the nose to
the corners of the mouth. Your doctor will
consult with you prior to your injection
regarding common treatment areas.
How long does Restylane last?
Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting
results. Studies have shown that Restylane
effects generally last for about six months.
Restylane's stabilization technology helps
maintain the cosmetic effect until the
injected material is nearly gone.
How often should I have Restylane treatments done?
Treatments are typically scheduled twice a
year. Having a touch-up treatment before the
product has fully dissipated may enhance the
lasting effect.
What should patients do prior to treatment?
Restylane requires no pretesting, but you
should take a few precautions before being
treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's
Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements
prior to treatment, because these may
increase bruising or bleeding at the injection
site. Also, if you have previously suffered
from facial cold sores, discuss this with your
physician. He/She may consider prescribing
a medication to minimize recurrence.
How is Restylane different from Botox; Cosmetic?
Restylane is a natural, cosmetic filler. In
contrast, Botox Cosmetic is a drug that
blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the
underlying muscles. Many patients have
been very pleased after receiving treatment
with both products.
How is Restylane different from bovine collagen?
Bovine collagen is derived from animals
(cows) and requires an allergy test. Restylane
can be administered immediately-no
waiting is required.
Do the injections hurt?
Restylane is injected directly into the skin in
tiny amounts by an ultra fine needle, resulting
in minimal discomfort. The procedure
is simple and convenient, and results are
practically instantaneous. To optimize your
comfort during the short procedure, your
physician may anesthetize the treatment area.
How much do Restylane treatments cost?
Restylane is a customized procedure based
on your specific needs, so the cost will vary
from patient to patient. In general, the cost
of Restylane is comparable to the cost of
similar procedures. Because Restylane is long
lasting,1 it proves to be very economical over
the long term.
