What is Restylane®?

When people start to get wrinkles, the wrinkles are most often present around the nose and mouth. Things such as smiling can add to the wrinkles and once the wrinkles appear, they will only get worse instead of better unless some form of treatment is used. With that in mind, many people are beginning to get Restylane® injections.

Restylane® is made of hyaluronic acid. The acid is biodegradable and safe.   Because hyaluronic acid is present in all living organisms, the body is able to dissolve it when it breaks down. That means people do not have to worry about the impact it will have on them after they get an injection. While there are some slight side effects, they are uncommon and not as serious as some other cosmetic procedures.

Restylane® is different from other dermal fillers in the sense that it binds with water molecules. With the help of the molecules, it is able to work to make the skin look healthy and full. By doing this, it is able to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Some people only require one treatment of Restylane® at a time, while others will have to undergo multiple Restylane® injections. In order to find out what a patient will need in order to achieve their desired look, they need to have a discussion with their cosmetic surgeon.

Restylane® typically works for six months. After that time, it will be naturally broken down by the body. The person can then get another Restylane® injection in order to get the results back. They will then be able to experience the same results they had previously.

Restylane® injections have proven to be a relatively safe way to combat the signs of aging. By visiting a plastic surgeon, people are able to understand what they can expect in regards to the injections and their individual features and needs. A cosmetic surgeon can help people realize where their expectation level should be at so they will be able to decide if Restylane® injections are the right anti-aging solution for them
