Restylane®
Immediate and long-lasting wrinkle correction.
If you want to enjoy a
smoother, more youthful appearance for about six months, ask
Dr. Iverson if Restylane is right for you!
Restylane® is a safe
and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and
fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and 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.
