Restylane®

Restylane® Treatment

Restylane® is an excellent product used to temporarily correct facial lines and wrinkles as well as plumping lips. Restylane® dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid which is a product found in our skin naturally. Unlike collagen based products, Restylane® is not extracted from animals and therefore there is no risk of developing an allergic reaction and also means that treatment can be performed at the time as your consultation.

Restylane® contains hyaluronic acid that works with the body's own naturally occurring hyaluronan and joins forces to create volume wherever it is being injected. There are three variations of Restylane® and each is used for a particular indication. The product known as Restylane® Finelines is excellent for filling the tiny, fine feather lines around the mouth and lips. Regular Restylane® is best for augmenting your lips or for filling shallow wrinkles and Perlane offers a larger molecule in its gel which may help in a better filling effect in facial lines that are deeper or more prominent.

Treatment with Restylane® takes approximately 30 minutes and results are seen immediately. A topical numbing cream is often applied to the area to be treated, or injected freezing (similar to the dentists' freezing) can be used for lip enhancement. Although there is a risk of slight bruising, swelling or redness at the injection sites, this is generally minimal and can be concealed with makeup. There is no need for either time off work or time away from your busy schedule when you choose to be treated with any of the Restylane® product family.

Restylane® is not a permanent filler and lasts approximately 4-6 months on average. Unlike permanent implants, Restylane®, Restylane® Finelines and Perlane always leave you a choice when the effect of the treatment has worn off. Most people choose to have a repeat treatment within 6-12 months of the original treatment.
