Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Local anesthetics will be used and can last up to 2 hours, or more.
Swelling may be noticeable at least for the first 48-72 hours. Avoid touching the area during this time. Injectables can be a bit lumpy or uneven and this can be resolved simply with a hot, moist washcloth applied to the area for 5 10 minutes and gently massaged until smooth. This needs to be done within one week following treatment.
Restylane® is the first and only 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 that is biodegradable and completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.

Yes. Restylane® has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons since 1996 worldwide. Because Restylane® is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.
