COSMETIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE PLASTIC SURGERY

RESTYLANE is a Swedish produced gel that is injected into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds. RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

RESTYLANE consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in your body. It gives volume to the skin, lubricates the joints and gives the eyes their shape. The hylaluronic acid in RESTYLANE is stabilized for long duration and is not of animal or human origin.

In contrast to other similar products, the hyaluronic acid in RESTYLANE is not produced from animals. This means that there is no risk of disease being transmitted or allergic reactions being elicited if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.

The Restylane Procedure

The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin. The length of time the effect of a RESTYLANE treatment lasts is very individual and depends on many factors, such as the structure of your skin, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded and the injection technique of the practitioner. Experience indicates that touch-up and follow-up treatments will add to the duration. Most people choose to have a new treatment within a year after the treatment of wrinkles and folds and within 6 months after a lip enhancement.

Since 1996, more than a million people have been successfully treated with RESTYLANE in more than 60 countries worldwide.
