Treatments
-
Restylane is used for wrinkle treatment, lip lines, face contouring and skin rejuvenation. The results of one treatment are effective for six to 12 months but are not permanent. Re-treatment is necessary. If used on lips, a re-treatment is needed every six months.
Benefits
-
Restylane plumps up the skin, and wrinkles appear to disappear. Treatments on lips can define them, create more lip volume and smooth wrinkles and smoker's lines around the mouth. Restylane can also provide a more pronounced chin and an enhanced cheek line. The product also restores the hydrobalance of the skin and improves elasticity and skin structure by replenishing hyaluronic acid under the skin. In addition, it can be used for hands and neck decolletage.

Restylane is natural and uses a type of hyaluronic acid that is closest to your own hyaluronic acid. It is non-toxic and non-permanent. It is also safe with minimal risk for an allergic reaction because the hyaluronic acid is non-animal. The procedure is non-surgical with little downtime as benefits can be seen immediately.
