Restylane is the brand name for a range of injectable fillers with a specific formulation of non-animal hyaluronic acid. In the United States, Restylane was the first U. S.-approved hyaluronic acid filler. Restylane is a type of dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid to fill in wrinkles and smooth out the skin.
Unlike other treatments that stop muscle contraction, Restylane fillers fill in spaces to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Other popular brands of dermal fillers include RHA, Belotero, Juvederm, Radiesse and Sculptra. For example, Restylane Refyne can soften the lines that form around the nose and mouth, while Restylane Lyft achieves results in the middle of the face by improving the contour of the cheeks. Restylane-L can also help with subsequent inflammation, which means you'll see results a little faster.
While Restylane fillers generally last 6 to 9 months, there are some patients who metabolize dermal fillers faster than others. The Restylane product line is formulated to act like the body's natural hyaluronic acid, restoring skin volume. Your dermatologist will mark problem areas, discuss the type of Restylane, the units needed, and then schedule the procedure. Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are flexible hyaluronic acid gels designed to give you the flexibility to show off your natural range of facial expressions.
Restylane Volyme is a softer injectable filler that can add much needed volume to the injected area, with a very natural look. For those patents who want to have laser treatments in combination with Restylane, it is important to discuss this first with Dr. The Restylane family of products, manufactured by Galderma, has become a favorite hyaluronic acid dermal filler since the original Restylane injection was approved by the FDA in 2003. Both Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne are made of hyaluronic acid and are created using Xpreshan technology, which customizes hyaluronic acid particles to cross-link with each other. Restylane Refyne is specifically formulated to correct mild to moderate smile lines and nasolabial folds.
Silk contains the same ingredients as Restylane-L, but is specially formulated to last a long time on the lips. In addition, Restylane can be used to create fuller lips (Restylane L, Restylane Silk and Restylane Kysse are used), and to help shape facial contours (Restylane Lyft) in areas such as the cheeks and chin, and add volume to the hands. Restylane Lyft was developed specifically for the correction of more serious facial folds around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds). For example, Restylane Silk has a softer, smoother consistency that is more suitable for enhancing the lips and reducing the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. Restylane Lyft is the thickest injectable filler in the Restylane family of products and lasts 9 to 12 months, depending on how quickly the body metabolizes the injectable product.
