Restylane® Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is a satisfying lip filler, bringing new life to small, narrow lips. Restylane® was the first filler of its kind in the U.S. market and has achieved much success. You will be very satisfied with this treatment experience. The results are appreciated before you even leave the office.
Restylane® is made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acid-based products, Restylane® is free from animal proteins. This quality limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. Restylane® requires no pre-testing and the effects generally last for about six months. Restylane® is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultrafine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. The procedure is simple and convenient, and the results are practically instantaneous. Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® has a highly favorable safety profile. It is fully biocompatible and there is minimal risk of allergic reactions. No allergy testing is required before use. We may use this filler in many applications including smoothing wrinkles and folds throughout the face, lip augmentation, non surgical blepharoplasty, non-surgical nose reshaping, non-surgical jowl lift, and even a non-surgical facelift. On your initial private consultation with Dr. Bolourian, you will be well informed about all the available options and together will decide on the most ideal treatment and dermal filler option. Following are the most common questions asked about Restylane®. |
What is Restylane®? |
Restylane® is a clear, transparent and viscous gel that is eased into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds. Restylane® consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in the body. Once in the skin, Restylane® works by creating volume. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is not produced from animals. This means that there is no risk of disease being transmitted or allergic reactions being elicited if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.

How Long Does the Effect of a Restylane® Treatment Last? |
Restylane® lasts for about 6 months in most areas. We have seen that under the eyes it tends to last about 8 months to one year. The length of time the effect of a Restylane® treatment lasts is very individual and depends on many factors, such as mobility of the area injected (the more hypermobile the faster resorption), the structure of your skin, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded and the injection technique of the practitioner. Experience indicates that touch-up and follow-up treatments will add to the duration.
