What is Restylane?
RESTYLANE® is a dermal filler used for mid-to-deep injections for moderate to severe wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and lip and cheek augmentation. The filler is composed of biodegradable, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA), a natural substance found in the body that provides volume and fullness to the skin.
RESTYLANE® is formulated with a unique cross-linking gel made with XpresHAn Technology to maintain the patient’s natural expressions. Results are evident immediately following the procedure. As with any dermal filler, most patients need a follow-up treatment 5-9 months after the initial treatment since the injectable gel is eventually absorbed by natural body processes.
The RESTYLANE® family of fillers includes Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Silk, and Restylane Lyft. Restylane-L is the same substance but with lidocaine added as an anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the injections.
