The Treatment Restylane is the brand name of a filler material that is now widely used by dermatologists for facial wrinkles and lines. It is a long-lasting and crystal-clear gel for filling out lips, facial wrinkles and facial folds. Thanks to a new stabilization process the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is almost identical to that naturally found in the body and only very slightly modified (0.5 - 1%). Other hyaluronic acid based, injectable implants are often modified by about 20%. Restylane is therefore completely biologically degradable - the body’s metabolism of hyaluronic acid corresponds to 200 syringes of Restylane per day. The product is also naturally integrated into the tissue, thus allowing important nutritive agents to pass freely through the implant and cells to pass between fragments of the gel.  Restylane smoothes wrinkles and enhances lips instantly If you would like to get rid of wrinkles and folds or if you want to improve the image of your lips, there is a new answer to your needs. Restylane is an innovation based on non-animal hyaluronic acid, manufactured by a unique method in the Q-Med Laboratories in Sweden. The treatment is performed by injecting Restylane into the skin or lip, and because no pretest is needed it takes less than 30 minutes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and therefore dissolves naturally with time. The ProcedureRestylane is injected into the dermis and provides volume where the concentration of the body’s own hyaluronic acid has decreased. One treatment session takes about 30 minutes. The results can be seen immediately and no scars or other marks are left on the face. Even though the treated area can swell up somewhat and be red for up to one day afterwards, it is quite possible to meet other people and work as normal. The patented stabilization method means that Restylane has a longer-lasting effect than competing preparations. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and the result is immediate, as opposed to other cosmetic procedures such as Bo-Tox injections which take time to produce the desired effect. When treating wrinkles, pain relief is usually not needed but can be easily achieved by prior application of EMLA anaesthetic cream. For treatment of the lips, either to treat the wrinkles that develop around the lips, or for lip augmentation procedures, it is advisable to have a dental block procedure, which makes the treated area numb, and therefore the subsequent procedure is entirely pain free. Side-Effects / Risks Reactions are very uncommon, but about 1 in 2000 persons have experienced transient swelling, redness and tenderness at or near the treatment site(s) up to several weeks after treatment. For further details concerning your specific treatment, please consult the doctor. Recovery Immediately after the treatment the treated area can be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal result of the injection, and it generally goes away in a day or two. Results How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts is very individual. It depends on many factors, such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle and age as well as on the degree of perfection demanded by the individual. However, we know that for the majority of the patients treated about 50-80 % of the effect remains after 6 months. Most people choose to have a touchup done within a year of the original treatment. Clinical studies show that Restylane can offer a high degree of patient satisfaction up to one year after treatment. The great thing about Restylane is that you can replenish your natural beauty whenever you feel the need. A touchup can be performed any time you like after the previous treatment.
