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 does it work? 

Restylane® 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 ability of hyaluronic acid to bind water is what helps provide lasting results.

How is the treatment performed? 

Restylane® is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultrafine 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 decide to numb the treatment area using a dental block or a topical numbing cream. 

How long does Restylane® last? 

Restylane® is proven to deliver long-lasting results.  Typically, it lasts for about six months or until the material wears off.  We recommend getting another injection every six months before it does wear off to continue the effects of Restylane®.

How often should I have Restylane® done?

Treatments are typically scheduled twice a year.  Having a touch-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated may enhance the lasting effect.

Is Restylane® safe? 

Restylane® has a highly favorable safety profile.  It’s composed of Non-Animal Stabilized hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the human body.  Restylane® is fully biocompatible.  There is limited risk of animal-based disease transmission or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.  No allergy testing is required before use.

Based on clinical studies, Restylane® treatments produce a low occurrence of adverse events.  The most commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at the injection site.  These effects typically resolve in less than seven days.

Can Restylane® be used anywhere on the face?

Restylane® has been used in more than 3 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 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.
