U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Restylane® injectable gel is a cosmetic “filler” that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.
Common areas for Restylane treatment are are the mid cheek and cheekbone, chin, marionette and smile lines. Restylane injectable gel is also FDA-approved, for those 21 and older, for enhancing the lips. According to manufacturer Galderma, results can last for up to 1 year, at which point the hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed by the body and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain desired results.
Restylane is part of hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers. It smooths wrinkles and plumps up cheeks and lips.
Restylane is FDA approved for wrinkles and fine lines on the face and is a and a safe method for injecting into lips, and hands. It has been used by dermatologists for almost two decades. It is made of hyaluronic acid, and natural filler and hydrator in the skin.
Restylane lasts under the eyes about 12 months. There is less movement in this area of your face and fillers in this area break down at a slower rate.
In less than an hour you can go home and go back to your daily activities right afterward.
It all depends on your provider, the areas to be treated, and the medspa policies.
