How does Restylane work?
Restylane is a collection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring gel that makes your skin look soft, supple, and voluminous. It retains up to 1,000x its own weight in water, making your skin look supple, youthful, and hydrated. The loss of hyaluronic acid due to aging is the primary factor behind the loss of facial volume from the cheeks and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
Restylane fillers are uniquely designed to replenish your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves. Each filler contains a different consistency of hyaluronic acid for different areas of the face, such as the lips, cheeks, chin, or nasolabial folds. When injected underneath the skin, the hyaluronic acid fills out the fine lines and wrinkles, contours the lips and facial features, and helps you achieve the desired cosmetic results. The results may last for a year or more, depending on the treatment area.
