Restylane
is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable
gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic
acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural part of the
ground substance of normal skin. Aging skin loses
hyaluronic acid over time, which can contribute
to wrinkling and laxity.

The gel is injected
into the skin in tiny amounts with a very
fine needle. |
| • |
The result is instantaneous
enhancement of the skin and soft tissues.
|
| • |
Restylane lasts for
approximately 6 months. |
| • |
Injections can burn
and so nerve blocks are performed in the mouth
prior to Restylane injection. |
| • |
There is soreness and
bruising in treated areas for 2 days after
the injections. |
