Why Fill?

Why fill with Restylane? 

As we age, our skin becomes thinner and less elastic, and its ability to retain water is reduced. The result is the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and you may feel that you look tired, old or sad. Wrinkle treatments with dermal fillers can help to restore and maintain your youthful appearance and regain lost confidence.

Restylane is a firmer dermal filler that can be used to fill wrinkles where you have good tissue coverage. Restylane Refyne is a dermal filler that can be used to improve wrinkles injections for more dynamic areas of your face, for example, around the lips, the nasolabial folds and the marionette lines.  Restylane and Restylane Refyne help you refine your looks and realize your individual needs and desires.

Restylane and Restylane Refyne can last up to 18 months with one re-treatment.

“And if you then all of a sudden see how signs of aging, signs of tiredness or negative expressions are softened on the face, that’s a very positive experience and usually you can see this when the patient looks in the mirror. Their face starts smiling, and that is a very rewarding moment really for an aesthetic doctor.”

Your Restylane treatment

A treatment with Restylane takes approximately 15-45 minutes, depending on the area that will be treated. Sometimes you might need a touch-up treatment about two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize your results. Most Restylane fillers contain a local anesthetic, numbing agent, that takes away most of the discomfort during treatment. 

Immediately after your dermal filler treatment, you may experience some post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, pain, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects usually disappear within one week after injection. Though fillers are minimally invasive, they still carry some risks. Before the treatment, you should discuss all possible risks and benefits with your healthcare practitioner.

Restylane can give you long-lasting but non-permanent results, meaning that you can continuously refine your looks. 

How it works
How it works

How it works

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that has a unique ability to bind water. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our bodies and in all layers of our skin. It keeps your body tissues soft, hydrated and flexible. However, as we age, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid lessens, leading to dry and thinner skin.  

Native hyaluronic acid in the body degrades quickly, in one to two days. To make the hyaluronic acid in Restylane and Restylane Refyne last longer—for up to 18 months or more with one retreatment—Galderma has used stabilization technologies that delay degradation. Restylane Refyne contains a gel that has a consistency to target different kinds of lines and wrinkles.

Restylane was the first ever non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler, when it was launched in 1996.

 Frequently asked questions

A treatment with Restylane does not take long. Depending on the area and indication, it takes approximately 15-45 minutes. A touch-up treatment is sometimes performed approximately two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize the results.

Some people may experience mild discomfort. Most Restylane fillers contain an integrated local anesthetic, lidocaine, to provide you with a more comfortable treatment experience. You and your healthcare practitioner may decide whether additional pain relief is needed.

Ask your healthcare practitioner if you will benefit from treatment with any of the hyaluronic acid products within the Restylane range. It is important when discussing your medical history to tell your practitioner everything, including all medicines that you are taking, any present and past allergies and their seriousness, and all current or past medical conditions you have had. Your practitioner will discuss potential side effects from the injection of Restylane and how serious they may be. You should also inform your practitioner if you have received previous aesthetic treatments, both surgical and non-surgical. 

Patients with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid based products should not undergo treatment, nor should patients with bleeding disorders, or active skin disease such as inflammation, infection or tumors in or near the area to be treated. Discuss contraindications, warnings and precautions with your healthcare practitioner before Restylane filler treatments.

The Restylane products have not been tested in pregnant or breastfeeding women and is therefore not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

After the treatment you will receive post-treatment guidelines. It is normal to experience some post-treatment discomfort, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects generally disappear within one week after injection.

Other potential side effects can occur with dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner. Following treatment, there is sometimes a need for a touch-up treatment to achieve an optimal result.
