Benefits of Restylane

Restylane is a very well tolerated dermal filler that is derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance which is found in skin and muscle tissues. Because hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, most men and women have no issues with sensitivity or allergic reactions, and can be treated without undergoing pretreatment sensitivity testing.

Unlike permanent cosmetic implants which must be surgically removed if the patient changes his or her mind or no longer desires the effect, Restylane dermal filler breaks down over time, allowing the patient an option of having the area retreated or leaving it without a filler. And, unlike implants which are preformed, a trained specialist can gauge final results as the Restylane is being injected, meaning your results will be more natural and softer than those achieved with implants.

Because it is derived from a substance that occurs naturally in human tissues, as the Restylane dermal filler material dissolves and breaks down over time, it is also easily and safely absorbed by the body, causing no harmful side effects or allergic reactions. In addition, most men and women find the cosmetic results of Restylane treatment more pleasing and natural than those achieved by implants, as well as collagen and other fillers.

Hyaluronic acid can absorb as much as 1000 times its weight in moisture and nutrients, resulting in longer lasting and more natural looking results, both in filling wrinkles and other depressions in the skin, and in augmenting the natural lip line.

Restylane also remains in the body for a much longer period of time than collagen fillers, with some patients reporting results persisting for one year or longer. Collagen, by comparison, usually breaks down within two to three months of injection.

The benefits you experience as a result of your Restylane treatment also depend largely on your own expectations. Be sure to expect the results you hope to achieve with your specialist prior to your treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.
