Restylane Injections
Designed for patients who wish to treat the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles
or folds, Restylane injections are now FDA approved for use in the United States.
In addition to correcting the signs of aging, Restylane injections can be used
to provide lip augmentation and facial contouring.
The major advantage to using
Restylane injections is the active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, which occurs
naturally in the body. And because Restylane injections contain no animal or
human products, there is no risk of allergic reaction, so patients can receive
treatment with Restylane injections immediately following consultation, without
having to wait days or weeks for the results of an allergy test.
Restylane injections contain a clear gel that is injected just under the skin,
raising the folds, creases and wrinkles to create a smoother surface. The material
used in Restylane injections, hyaluronic acid, binds with water up to 1000 times
its volume making it ideally suited as a filler, since even as the Restylane
injections are being naturally absorbed by the body, they continue to attract
more water, prolonging the appearance of the results.
Although the effects of
Restylane injections vary depending upon the individual and the location of the
treatment, the majority of people receiving Restylane injections report 50-80%
of the effect remains after 6 months. Most patients choose to have touch up
Restylane injections done within one year of the original treatment.
The length of the effects of Restylane injections is almost twice that of
collagen, and without the risk of allergic reactions or need to wait for
treatment, Restylane injections are rapidly gaining popularity. There is a low
risk of side effects associated with Restylane injections, including swelling,
tenderness, and redness, all of which are temporary and often avoidable through
the use of proper needle techniques.
Results
The injectable filler Restylane is enjoying a booming popularity due mainly to Restylane results, which can last six months or longer, twice the length of collagen injections. The longevity of Restylane results is due to the key component of Restylane, hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in body tissues and is partially responsible for the skin's youthful appearance. Restylane results reflect the unique property of hyaluronic acid to bind to water up to 1000 times its volume. This means that even as hyaluronic acid is being reabsorbed into the body, Restylane results continue to be visible, due to the water that remains under the skin's surface.
Patients who chose Restylane can see Restylane results almost immediately, and the full effects will appear within a few days of treatment. Because Restylane results fade gradually and slowly, patients can decide whether or not to have "touch up" injections, or to allow the Restylane results to simply disappear over time. Many patients are reassured by this flexibility in maintaining their Restylane results, not wanting to commit to a permanent change just yet. The ability to fully reverse any Restylane results without a trace is yet another reason for its popularity.
Since hyaluronic acid is not an animal product and occurs naturally in the human body, patients can enjoy Restylane results without risk of allergic reactions or disease. This also eliminates the need for time-consuming allergy test, meaning that a patient can walk out with visible Restylane results immediately following consultation. Additionally, because this filler is synthetic, vegans and others opposed to the use of animal products are able to enjoy Restylane results as well.
This product is unprecedented in its ease of use, short recovery period and lasting effects. With recent FDA approval, Restylane results are now available to anyone who wants fuller lips, a more youthful appearance, and fewer wrinkles.
Side Effects
Slight bruising, minor pain, redness, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the point of
injection are the most common side effects that occur after a Restylane treatment.
These effects usually subside within a day or two. Most side effects experienced
by Restylane patients are classified as mild.
