The product is naturally integrated into the tissue, allowing important nutritive
agents to pass freely through the implant and cells to pass between fragments of
the gel.

Restylane contains hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal-clear gel injected into
the skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in the skin, Restylane works together
with the body's own hyaluronic acid and joins forces to create volume. Unlike
permanent implants, Restylane always leaves you a choice when the effect of the
treatment has worn off.

Restylane is typically used to treat superficial lines. It is also used for lip
enhancement.

Similar to Restylane, Perlane offers longer lasting results for lip enhancement and
the correction of deep folds.

Restylane is injected into the dermis and provides volume where the concentration
of the body's own hyaluronic acid has decreased. One treatment session takes
about 30 minutes. The results can be seen immediately and no scars or other
marks are left on the face. Even though the treated area can swell up somewhat
and be red for up to one day afterwards, it is quite possible to meet other people
and work as normal.

Restylane is not extracted from animals. This means no risk of allergic reactions.
Therefore, Restylane is perfectly safe to use instantly without pre-testing.

How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts depends is very individual. It
depends on many factors, such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle and age as
well as on the degree of perfection demanded by the individual. However, we know
that for the majority of the patients treated about 50-80 % of the effect remains
after 6 months. Most people choose to have a touch-up done within a year of the
original treatment.
