Your skin is made of two layers, with supporting columns holding them apart. The area in-between includes the clear-jelly like substance Hyaluronic Acid. While young, the Hyaluronic acid is in abundance. As you grow older, the acid between these layers diminishes, and the skin somewhat caves, causing a wrinkle along the line. The wrinkle would be gone if you filled that area back up with the Hyaluronic Acid jelly-like substance. That's where Restylane® comes in. How is Restylane® injected? Restylane® is injected into the skin with a very thin needle. Injected into this area, it restores the natural volumes underneath the wrinkle. The wrinkle is now lifted up and smoothed out. How long does the procedure take? All of this takes about 30 minutes, leaves no marks or scars, and the results can be seen immediately. Is Restylane® Safe? Yes. Restylane has been used by Physicians since 1996 worldwide. Restylane® is a natural fully biocompatible so that allergy testing is not required. Restylane® has been used in more than 3 million treatments in over 60 countries to correct a variety of wrinkles. What is the recovery time? Some redness or swelling will occur. This will normally last less than seven days. What is the upkeep? Depending on the results you'd like, you can discuss maintenance with us and the period between injections.
