Restylane®
Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours, providing volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane® is a clear, synthetic gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found throughout your body.
Restylane® treatments are used to physically fill in wrinkles, blemishes, and lines, making the patient’s skin appear smoother, healthier and more youthful. Like many other dermal filler options available, Restylane® acts in two ways to produce longer-lasting facial rejuvenation than is possible with less advanced alternatives: Restylane® not only fills in wrinkles but also stimulates the production of collagen fibers in the skin responsible for texture and elasticity. (Archives of Dermatology, February 2007 ed.) Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to bind with water so Restylane® remains in your skin for about six to nine months. Because hyaluronic is found naturally throughout your body, no allergy test is necessary.

- Moderate to severe folds around the mouth
