Restylane® is a safe and natural dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. Collagen is a protein that is found naturally in your body to give support to your skin. With time (or accelerated by sun or smoke damage), your body’s collagen weakens forming wrinkles in skin. Restylane helps to replenish the skin’s natural collagen support layer and provide additional support. The result is a smoother face.
How does Restylane work?
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of clear hyaluronic acid gel, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid creates volume in the face, giving it a healthy, youthful appearance. When Restylane is injected directly into areas where the body’s collagen has been weakened, depressions can be raised to the level of surrounding skin. This smoothes and minimizes facial lines and most types of scars. In addition, skin texture is improved and has a softer and more even tone.
The Different Types of Restylane
There are multiple products within the Restylane family that are designed for treating different areas of the face.
- Restylane Classic – Add volume and fullness to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth).
- Restylane Contour – Enhance cheek volume and improve mid-face contours for a more balanced, youthful appearance.
- Restylane Kysse – Enhance lip volume and shape while softening fine lines above the mouth for natural, lasting results.
- Restylane Lyft – Restore volume and lift in the cheeks, smooth mid-face wrinkles, address age-related volume loss in the back of the hands, and add structure to the chin for improved profile and lower-face balance.
- Restylane Refyne – Soften moderate facial wrinkles and folds with a flexible, natural-looking correction for a smooth, refreshed appearance.
- Restylane Defyne – Correct deeper facial wrinkles and folds while maintaining natural expression and support.
- Restylane Silk – Add subtle fullness and definition to lips and smooth fine lines around the mouth for a natural, rejuvenated look.
- Restylane Eyelight – Add subtle volume under the eyes to reduce hollows and minimize the appearance of dark circles, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
How is a Restylane procedure performed?
A Restylane procedure involves injecting the dermal filler directly into the skin using a very fine needle. Treatments are quick, typically causing minimal discomfort, and results are visible almost immediately. For added comfort, a numbing cream can be applied before the injection. This simple, minimally invasive procedure is commonly used to reduce wrinkles, restore facial volume, and enhance lips or cheeks.
TRADITIONAL FILLERS
Traditional fillers are liquid or gel substances such as hyaluronic acid or bovine or porcine collagen. They diminish lines, wrinkles, and creases by filling in the space beneath these defects. The results are immediate.
