Restylane is a biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid, a substance
which occurs naturally in the skin. Since Restylane is based on
a non-animal, naturally occurring substance, it reduces the risk
of any allergic reaction, transmitting disease, or other complications
from occurring. No skin test is required. When injected, it can
smooth wrinkles and folds, give volume to your lips or give shape
to your facial contours. Restylane treatment sessions take less
than thirty minutes and patients can return to their normal routine
soon after. The results are instantaneous and last anywhere from
six to twelve months. Since Restylane is biodegradable, when it
breaks down, it turns into water and carbon dioxide, and disappears
without a trace from your body.
