To create hyaluronic acid fillers that can last for a considerable amount of time in the body, hyaluronic acid is stabilized in a gel using cross-linking technology. Åke Öhrlund and Per Winlöf, senior analytical scientist and expert chief design officer respectively, are part of the filler development and production team at the Galderma plant in Uppsala. The first Restylane product was derived from bacterial fermentation, and since then, almost all filler brands have adopted this method. Restylane's hyaluronic acid (HA) formula is designed to mimic the body's natural hyaluronic acid, allowing for a range of facial expressions without stiffness. When Restylane was launched, it was the first non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler on the market.
However, quality alone cannot guarantee a natural and individualized result. Purification processes are used to remove residues such as proteins and endotoxins before the hyaluronic acid is cross-linked into a filler gel. The fact that fillers are based on a natural substance is attractive, but there is much more to hyaluronic acid filler formulations than that. Although side effects are rare, Restylane should not be used in or near areas where there have been skin conditions, inflammation, or related conditions. Each Restylane product is developed with a gel particle size that provides the best clinical effect for each product and indication.
Galderma Restylane fillers have been used more than 40 million times worldwide to create a younger appearance in male and female patients over the age of 21. If you have a history of scarring or pigmentation disorders, inform your doctor as these side effects can occur with hyaluronic acid fillers. These side effects can be easily reversed with a treatment of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that accelerates the natural degradation of the injected hyaluronic acid filler. The original non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler restores, improves and refreshes the youthful appearance of skin. The hyaluronic acid used to produce Restylane is top quality pharmaceutical grade and formulated to act like the body's natural hyaluronic acid, restoring skin volume.
