What Is Restylane?

 In Non Surgical Procedures

Have you noticed that your skin has lost some of its fullness? Does it seem thinner and more prone to wrinkles and sagging than before? If you would like to regain some of that full volume in your skin for a healthier looking and more youthful appearance, there are treatments available to help you achieve this!

Restylane 101

Hyaluronic Acid

The main active ingredient in Restylane injections is a substance called hyaluronic acid. This is a completely natural and safe substance. In fact, hyaluronic acid is naturally present in healthy human skin.

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in maintaining epidermis hydration and volume. It attracts water molecules to keep skin tissue healthy and plump, and works to stimulate the production of collagen.

Collagen is a natural and important kind of protein that forms the structure of much of your body’s tissues. It’s especially important in skin, since it makes it stronger and more flexible. However, as we age there is a greater chance of having insufficient collagen in our skin. That is why skin becomes weaker and more easily wrinkled as we get older.

Restylane fights these signs of aging by boosting your hyaluronic acid. It restores water and collagen content in your skin for a fuller, smoother appearance.

Reduce Wrinkles and Define Shape

By restoring volume to your skin with hyaluronic acid, Restylane helps erase your wrinkles. It’s extremely effective at treating different kinds of facial wrinkles and gives the contours of your face a clearer definition. It can also be an optimal way to achieve fuller, plump lips.

Immediate Results

One of the most attractive features of Restylane treatments is that you can see results immediately. Because the procedure is non-surgical and invasive, the initial side-effects are both extremely minimal and short-term. Your doctor will be able to show you how to take the best care of your face to maximize your positive results.

Reversible Results

The effects of Restylane are not permanent, which means you will always have control over your appearance. If you are uncertain about getting the procedure, you can be comfortable in trying it out since it is reversible. Once you see the dramatic and positive results, you can safely extend the treatment for continued smooth skin!
