Restylane® is
a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores
volume and fullness
to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such
as nasolabial folds.
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal
filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that
already exists in the human
body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear
gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic
Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic
acid.
Restylane maintains its shape
using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in
Restylane is hydrophilic or "water
loving." As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each
molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume
can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability
of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide
lasting results.
Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen
products, Restylane is free from animal proteins. This
limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or
development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.*
After your treatment, you might have
some redness or swelling. This will normally last less
than seven days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities
should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappear.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you shouldn't
use Restylane.
* Restylane contains trace amounts
of gram-positive bacterial proteins and is contraindicated
for patients with a history of allergies to such material
