What are the common side effects of Restylane?

After your treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, and tenderness. This will normally last less than seven days.

What should patients do prior to treatment?

Restylane requires no pretesting, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using St. John's Wort, high doses of vitamin E, aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.

How is Restylane administered?

Restylane is injected directly into the skin in small amounts by a ultrafine needle. As with all injections, some patients may experience discomfort.

A Restylane treatment is customized to your specific needs, so the Restylane cost will vary. In general, the cost is comparable to the cost of similar procedures. We will give a cost estimate based on your particular needs.

What is Restylane made of?

Restylane is composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the body. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin.

The hyaluronic acid in Restylane has been modified to last longer than the body's hyaluronic acid. Restylane was the first aesthetic dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid.

Is any of the material left in the skin after it has dissolved?

No. Over time Restylane is broken down and eliminated by the body - unlike permanent fillers.

Which dermal filler is the global market leader in sales?

Restylane is the number one selling dermal filler, with over 10 million treatments worldwide with the Restylane family of products.

How does Restylane differ from BOTOX treatments?

BOTOX and Restylane are used to correct wrinkles in different ways. Restylane is an aesthetic cosmetic filler injected into the skin, adding volume to smooth moderate to sever facial wrinkle and facial folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. It is also used for lip augmentation. In contrast, BOTOX relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines between your eyebrows.
