Restylane is a gel volume filler using dextrose and a non-animal based hyluronic acid. Restylane is designed to correct skin imperfections as wrinkles and lines. It enhances lip volume, a little or a lot. It is used to pump up, fill, and restore fullness to pits, lines, and depressions of skin. The filler must be skillfully and precisely injected in the correct amount and correct depth to restore lost volume problem. Risks of an allergic reaction or other problems are very low. It was approved by the FDA over ten years ago and constant monitoring shows it safe. Restylane has been used over a million times. You may be very surprised at who you know is using Restylane.
Scar tissue is sometimes broken up for later injections. Several days after the treatment, the gel can still be molded and shaped to correctly re-shape the skin. It usually last for up to six months. Recommended are two yearly treatments with decreasing quantities as the tissue adjusts and improves. The tissue below abnormalities breaks up and the body deposits natural resources after each procedure. Healing can often restore the surface to its natural contour. Lip enhancement can be days to weeks to completely mature. This allows you to be the judge of when and how much and exactly when to stop or add more at any time you chose. Never volume filler may last up to 1 ½ years. Restylane, usually can last 4 to 6 months. Your face changes approximately every year. You and the doctor need to talk about the right application for you.
Restylane and Botox are a winning combination. They can be used on patients before and/or after laser therapy. Patients are encouraged to discuss treatment options and questions with the physician prior to any procedure. Situations often may require specific combination. Specific treatment is tailored to the exact needs of each person.

Patients using Restylane should not take aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication, vitamin E, or Saint John's Wort within two weeks prior to and one week after treatment. Minor redness and swelling of the injected areas may occur and last for a few days. Excessive exposure to sunlight and low temperatures should be avoided in the few days following treatment.

Sometimes, topical anesthetics and specialized thermal effects can be used for comfort in very sensitive areas or by request, thereby making the procedure easy and comfortable.
