Restylane® products are cosmetic dermal fillers that replace lost volume and restore skin’s youthful contours. Restylane is used to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and to add volume to the lips (lip augmentation).

What is Restylane?
Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane has been modified slightly to last longer than the body’s natural hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is produced by a biotechnical process.
Restylane is hydrophilic or “water loving.” The hydrophilic nature of these hyaluronic acid molecules and their three dimensional structure allows them to bind to many times their own weight in water. As hyaluronic acid begins to degrade, each molecule binds to more water, which helps to maintain its volume for about six months.
Restylane contains no animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions. Restylane contains trace amounts of gram-positive bacterial proteins and is contraindicated for patients with a history of allergies to such material. No allergy testing is required before use.
How long will it last?
Although individual results may vary, Restylane has proven to deliver long-lasting results. The patented stabilization technology helps maintain the cosmetic effect, and studies have shown that Restylane lasts about 6 months to 12 months, depending on the area treated.
