What is Restylane?
Restylane is an injectable gel that should always be administered
by a trained, medically qualified practitioner. Restylane enhances
your natural looks by restoring your skin’s volume, creating
softness and revitalizing your appearance.
Who makes Restylane?
Restylane is produced by Q-Med AB. Q-Med is a Swedish biotechnology/medical
device company with headquarters in the city of Uppsala,
near Stockholm, and offices all around the world. After a decade of
clinical use, more than 6 million treatments worldwide, continuous
research and safety as top priority, Restylane has today been
proven to be safe, effective and long lasting. The company continues
to invest in research and development in the interests of further
improving patient safety.
What are the benefits of Restylane?
Restylane can instantly soften telltale aging lines or improve your
looks by enhancing your natural features, such as your cheeks or lips.
RESTYLANE restores volume, improves skin elasticity, and smooths niggling
lines and imperfections. Long lasting but not permanent, Restylane
allows you to stay in control of your looks.
What is the clinical experience behind Restylane?
Restylane is one of the most tried and tested dermal fillers
available today. It is the benchmark for clinical excellence in its
field. Its safety and efficacy are clinically proven and supported
by robust clinical data, spanning 10 years. Research and development
is continuous.
How does Restylane work?
Restylane is a crystal-clear gel produced biotechnologically
using stabilized, nonanimal hyaluronic acid and water. The
hyaluronic acid is a tissue-friendly substance closely resembling
the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. By replenishing
nature’s supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane revitalizes and
plumps up the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines
and giving a softer look.
What does Restylane treatment involve?
Restylane is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very
fine needle. The gel provides hydration and structure and gives natural
volume to smooth away the appearance of lines, enhance facial shape,
or create fuller lips.
The treatment is very quick and often takes less than 30 minutes.
The treatment benefits can normally be seen instantly and Restylane
does not affect facial expression. No skin test is required because
Restylane does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
What areas can be treated?
Restylane treatments can be used to smooth out
facial lines, create fuller lips and shape facial
contours, such as cheeks and chin. It is a subtle
approach to enhancing looks naturally.
The most common areas treated are:
• from the nose to the angle
of the mouth
(the nasolabial folds)
• lips (enhancement)
• cheeks and chin (shaping)
• back of the hands, décolletage,
face
(skin rejuvenation)
• between the eyebrows (the
glabellar lines)
How long does Restylane treatment
effect last?
One of the great advantages of Restylane is that
the effects are long lasting but not permanent.
You are always in control of your looks.
• Facial lines and facial
shaping: follow-up treatment is usually needed after 6-12 months
• Lip enhancement: follow-up
treatment is normally needed in about 6 months
• Skin rejuvenation and
deep hydration: after the initial intense treatment of 3 treatment
sessions every 2-3 weeks, follow-up sessions are normally recommended
around every 6 months
Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age,
the degree of perfection demanded by the patient and the injection
technique of the practitioner.
Does Restylane treatment hurt?
Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local
anesthetic cream is often used. Another form of anesthesia, a dental
bloc, is used to numb the area when enhancing lips.
Are there any side effects with Restylane?
Most people can benefit from Restylane treatment.
Restylane should not be used in or near skin sites where there are
or have been
active skin disease, inflammation or related conditions. Nor should
it be injected into
an area where a permanent implant has been placed. Restylane has not
been tested
in pregnant or breast-feeding women.
