Restylane® has been
used in more than 1.5 million treatments in
over 60 countries and is now approved in the
U.S. for the treatment of facial wrinkles
and folds. It is a safe and natural cosmetic
dermal filler that restores volume and fullness
to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and
folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Restylane is
the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based
hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that
already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic
acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called
NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic
Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with
human hyaluronic acid.
Restylane
maintains its shape using the body's own moisture.
The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is hydrophilic
or "water loving." As hyaluronic
acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds
to more water and over time, the same volume
can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid.
This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to
water is what helps provide lasting results.
Restylane is proven to deliver a longer lasting
effect than traditional collagen3 with virtually
no risk of animal-based disease transmission
or allergic reaction. Bovine collagen is derived
from cowhide and requires an allergy test.
Restylane can be administered without pretesting,
so no waiting is required.
