What is Restylane®?
Restylane®is an FDA-approved injectable gel or cosmetic “filler” that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.
Where is Restylane® injected?
The most common areas for Restylane treatment are the cheeks and the nasolabial folds (which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth). Restylane injectable gel is also FDA-approved for those 21 and older, for enhancing the lips. Results can last for up to 6 months, at which point the hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed by the body.
What are the Benefits of Restylane®?
When injected, Restylane gel plumps up wrinkles, lines and folds, making the skin appear younger and look smoother. When used for lip enhancement, it makes the lips fuller and gives them more definition.
What are the Side Effects of Restylane®?
The most common side effects of Restylane injectable gel are swelling, redness, pain, bruising and tenderness in and around the injection sites. They typically go away within a week. Although considered safe for most patients, Restylane injections carry a risk of infection, bleeding or allergic reaction.
