Restylane
provides instant and long-lasting wrinkle correction.
It is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler which restores
volume and fullness to skin. This multi-use product line corrects
fine to moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds of all
types, from the fine lines around the lips to deep nasolabial
folds. Restylane's sister filler, Perlane, is an ideal mid-level dermal filler.
Restylane PhotosRestylane has been used in over 6 million
treatments.
Dr. Pilest is a Platinum Restylane provider, which places him among the
top 5% of Restylane physicians in the entire country.
A
highly versatile filler, Restylane is also used to
increase fullness and enhance the lips, define the lip line,
fill scars and plump up facial areas that have lost their
youthful appearance. One very common instance of
"facial deflation" is the area under the eyes that becomes
hollow, creating a worn-out, tired look. Restylane or other
dermal injection products may be a viable solution.
Because
Restylane is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid and
is fully and safely biocompatible, allergy testing is
not required.
"I had inherited my father’s very
deep nose-to-mouth lines, which I felt really aged
me...Restylane has lifted years off my appearance. I look much
more fresh faced, just the
subtle treatment outcome that I wanted. Best of all RESTYLANE
has given a real lift to my spirits and I feel good about
myself again" Lee Kemp
Lasting
up to twice as long as collagen, and in many cases even longer,
treatments are typically scheduled only twice a year. Injected
into the dermis in tiny amounts with a very fine needle, the
result is instantaneous, producing a long-lasting, natural
enhancement, gentle and safe to the skin.

Smoothing
out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous
difference in appearance and sometimes make the face look
several years younger. With Restylane, you can enjoy facial
rejuvenation without the use of foreign elements.
What
is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found throughout
your body. It gives volume to the skin, lubricates the joints
and gives the eyes their shape. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane
is stabilized for long duration and is not of animal or human
origin.
What
are the contents of RESTYLANE?
Restylane, Restylane Touch and Restylane Perlane consist
of stabilized hyaluronic acid and a sodium chloride solution
with a pH of 7. All Restylane products are clear, transparent
and viscous gels. The only difference between the products
is the size of the gel particles. Larger particle formulations
such as Perlane are used for deeper folds and augmentation.
In contrast to other similar products, 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 will a treatment session take?
Treatment with Restylane is a very quick and easy process.
As no pre-test is needed, the treatment can be carried out
immediately. A treatment generally takes 30 minutes. The time
differs somewhat, depending on the correction you wish to
have performed
Does
it hurt?
Most people find the injections relatively painless. They
may prick a little. If you like, a topical anesthetic can
be applied to the area being treated prior to your procedure.
When enhancing the lips, a local anesthetic injection is often
given as this area is the most sensitive.
How
soon will I see the results?
The results can be seen immediately.
What
will I look like after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness,
swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation in the treated
area. This is a normal result of the injection. The discomfort
is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. After
a lip treatment, the lips may become swollen and look somewhat
uneven. This can persist for a few days (up to a week). If
the discomfort continues, please contact your physician.
Are there precautions after my treatment with Restylane?
Yes. During the first 48 hours after your treatment, do not
massage or rub the treated area. If you have had a lip enhancement,
avoid puckering your lips for the first two days after the
treatment. Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved,
do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. in a
sauna or by sunbathing) or extreme cold
What
should I do prior to the treatments?
Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications,
St. John's Wort and high doses of Vitamin E supplements one
week prior to procedure. This will help minimize any bruising
or bleeding at the infection site.
What other treatments are typically used along with Restylane?
Quite frequently our patients will have
Botox
injections to soften the dynamic wrinkles caused by movement
such as frowning or squinting or lip pursing. Using both products
simultaneously results in a smooth, relaxed and younger appearance.
