Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler and is one of the most exciting
non-surgical advancements in facial rejuvenation today!

	No allergy skin test necessary
	Lasts up to 60% longer than collagen fillers with higher degree of patient satisfaction
	Clinical trials show that Restylane is effective for up to six months after lip augmentation and up to twelve months after facial contouring.

Q: Is Restylane safe?
A: Yes. Restylane has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons since 1996 worldwide. Because Restylane is non-animal based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. There is virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. The commonly reported side effects were redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days.

Q: Can Restylane be used anywhere on the face?
A: Restylane has been used in more than one million treatments in over 60 countries to correct a variety of wrinkles and to enhance the appearance and fullness of lips. However, it is currently indicated in the U.S. only for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

Q: How long does Restylane last?
A: Studies have shown that the average treatment results last six months or even longer. The unique technology helps maintain the cosmetic effect until the injected material is nearly gone.

Q: How often should I have Restylane treatments done?
A: Restylane lasts twice as long as collagen, so treatments are typically scheduled twice a year. Evidence shows that having a touch-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated will enhance the lasting effect.

Q: How is Restylane different from Botox?
A: Restylane is a natural, cosmetic filler. In contrast, Botox is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Many patients have been very pleased after receiving treatment with both products.

Q: How is Restylane different from bovine collagen?
A: Restylane is proven to deliver a longer-lasting effect than traditional collagen, with virtually no risk of animal based disease transmission or allergic reaction. In addition, bovine collagen is derived from animals (cow) and requires an allergy test. Because Restylane is non-animal based, it can be administered without pretesting, so no waiting is required.

Q: Do the injections hurt?
A: 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 results are practically instantaneous. To optimize your comfort during the short procedure, your physician may anesthetize the treatment area.

Q: How much do Restylane treatments cost?
A: Restylane is a customized procedure based on your specific needs, so the cost will vary from patient to patient. In general, the cost of Restylane is comparable to the cost of similar procedures. Because Restylane is longer lasting, it proves to be very economical over the long term.
