Restylane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial lines of individuals. It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring. It can be used in both men and women. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane augments the body's natural supply, which has become depleted with age. The injected Restylane fills up scars, lines and wrinkles on the face. Restylane is not a permanent product and is broken down in the body. At most, the wrinkle-free face remains for about 4-6 months after injection of Restylane. The big advantage of Restylane is that it is a non-permanent and natural treatment. The chemical contains a natural bodily chemical which fills up the skin like normal tissues. The modeling and contouring effects appear natural.
Restylane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid gel. It is a non-animal product and poses minimal if any risk of allergies. Hyaluronic acid is a resilient chemical and can easily adjust and mold to the facial contours. Unlike other dermal fillers, no prior skin testing is required prior to the injection of Perlane.
Collagen injections, once very popular, are now obsolete in most cosmetic clinics. The availability of better, safer and longer lasting products have entirely replaced collagen. Restylane not only is much safer but also lasts longer than collagen as a dermal filler.
Restylane can be used to treat the following conditions:
Wrinkles on the face
Decrease fine lines around the lips, mouth, nose and forehead
Lip enhancement
Improve the crease lines around the nasolabial area
Chin and lip augmentation
Filling cheek depressions
Redefining lip border
Softening acne scars
Correct the hollows around the eyes
Improve facial depressions
Studies from Europe where the product has been widely used indicate that side effects are rare. The most common side effects have been temporary redness, swelling, itching or tenderness. These side effects usually resolve in a few weeks. Reports of allergy and granuloma formation are rare.
