Restylane

Is Restylane safe?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and therefore it also dissolves naturally with time and is integrated into your body's tissues. The synthetic, biodegradable hyaluronic acid known as Restylane has been used in Europe and Canada for many years and is now approved in the United States. Your doctor will tailor your Restylane treatments according to the depth of the wrinkles and desired lip enhancement.

What are the treatments like?

The treatment is performed by injecting Restylane under your skin. Since no pre-test is needed, your procedure can usually be done in less than one hour. Many patients like the added comfort provided when we apply an anesthetic cream, while others prefer an anesthetic block. Ths makes the treatment relatively painless.

How long does it last?

Depending on the area treated, most folds and wrinkles require 2 treatments at 4-6 weeks apart. The repeat maintenance treatment is not usually required for approximately 6 to 18 months. By experience these products last almost twice as long as regular collagen injections.

The great thing about Restylane is that you can replenish your natural beauty whenever you feel the need. Unlike permanent implants, Restylane always gives you a choice when the effect of the treatment has worn off. A touch-up can be performed any time you like after the previous treatment.
