Restylane

Restylane is a dermal filler. Dermal fillers are products that can be injected to help smooth lines, or create non-permanent fullness in certain facial areas such as the nasal folds.

A session takes, on average, 30-45 minutes. During treatment, tiny amounts of crystal clear gel are injected into the skin with a very thin needle. The gel then gives natural volume and smoothes wrinkles. This natural product integrates with the adjacent tissues allowing the free passage of vital nutritive elements, and the result looks healthy and natural.

No pre-testing is required. RestylaneTM binds with water to give a very smooth and natural result. The effects of dermal fillers are seen almost immediately. Fillers are long-lasting but not permanent, and they offer a safe alternative to surgical correction.

Side effects

There may be some swelling, redness, pain, itching, discolouration and tenderness at the implant site. These symptoms typically resolve spontaneously within 1-2 days. A very small number of patients have experienced localised reactions, thought to be of a hypersensitive nature. These reactions have either started after injection or after a delay of 2-4 weeks, but, in general, are moderate and self-limiting with an average duration of 2 weeks.

Treatment programme

Follow-up is at the discretion of the client. The length of time that Restylane holds its effect varies, depending on many factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity, as well as the injection technique. The effect lasts, on average, between 6 and 12 months.
