Restylane contains hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal-clear gel injected into the
skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in the skin, Restylane works together with
the body's own hyaluronic acid and joins forces to create volume. Unlike permanent
implants, Restylane always leaves you a choice when the effect of the treatment
has worn off.

Restylane is typically used to treat superficial lines. It is also used for lip
enhancement.

Similar to Restylane, Perlane offers longer lasting results for lip enhancement and
the correction of deep folds.

Restylane 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.

Restylane is not extracted from animals. This means no risk of allergic reactions.
Therefore, Restylane is perfectly safe to use instantly without pre-testing.

How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts depends 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 touch-up done within a year of the original
treatment.
