Restylane

Restylane is a complete range of injectable gels, both soft and firm, that are made of hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally present in the body and attracts and binds water molecules to add volume. The results are immediate, as the gel adds volume to smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial balance, making you look revitalized and more youthful.

Restylane has an established safety profile with over 50 million treatments worldwide across more than 25 years of use, making it the most studied line of dermal fillers.

Restylane can be used to smooth wrinkles, soften facial lines, and enhance facial features, such as lips, cheeks, and jawline, by adding volume for fullness and definition.

Your healthcare provider will administer Restylane via injection and may perform a gentle massage of the treated area afterward.

A Restylane treatment is usually quick, with an optional touch-up to optimize results.

For some people, Restylane may cause mild discomfort during treatment. However, many Restylane products have an integrated local anesthetic called lidocaine, which can make the experience more comfortable.

It’s essential to inform your Restylane provider about any current or prior medical conditions and allergies, the severity of these conditions, all medications you are taking, and any planned or previous aesthetic procedures. This information will help your provider determine whether Restylane is suitable for you or not. Keep in mind that Restylane may not be appropriate for everyone, and there are certain people who should not use it. Therefore, it’s crucial to be transparent and provide accurate information during your initial consultation.

Inform your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving treatment with Restylane products.

A Swedish division of Galderma called Q-Med produces the dermatology product Restylane.

Results may vary with each patient, but a repeated treatment plan can lead to long-lasting results.

Maintenance or “touch-up” treatments refer to one or more additional sessions after your initial treatment to help sustain your desired results. Kindly consult with your provider to determine if a maintenance treatment is appropriate for you, and to discuss the recommended frequency and amount of Restylane to be applied.

The most common side effects after injection include swelling, bruising, redness, pain, and tenderness. These effects usually disappear within a week.
