Restylane Wrinkle Correction

The natural beauty lift

Today, many people are showing increasing interest in correcting wrinkles and folds, shaping facial contours and augmenting the lips. Restylane is a natural beauty lift using the body's own material.

Restylane is a crystal-clear, biodegradable gel, which is injected into the dermis in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous, producing a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to the skin.

Since it was launched in 1996, Restylane has undergone extensive histological and clinical studies with an increasing body of evidence relating to its ease of use, tolerability and effectiveness. Today, more than 1,500,000 treatments have been successfully carried out worldwide.

Natural beauty. Made in Sweden.

Restylane is a Swedish innovation dedicated to natural beauty. After decades of extensive research, Dr Bengt Ågerup and the company Q-Med in Uppsala, Sweden, succeeded in developing a method to stabilize non-animal, hyaluronic acid and forming a gel called NASHA. The first application of the NASHA gel, Restylane, was introduced in 1996.

Smoothing Wrinkles

Smoothing out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous difference to a patient's appearance and sometimes make them look several years younger. With Restylane, you can offer facial rejuvenation without the use of foreign elements.

For the treatment of wrinkles or folds, Restylane is injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel gives natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. The results can be seen immediately. Treating wrinkles with Restylane is fast and safe – and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.

How a wrinkle occurs

As we age, the hyaluronic acid in the skin diminishes as cells lose their ability to produce it. As a result, the skin becomes drier, thinner and less able to restore itself after squeezing or indentation. The loss of skin fullness also means that the skin becomes looser. All in all, these factors lead to wrinkling and an older appearance of the skin.

Sculpting Lips

For many women, a fuller, more sensual mouth comes high on their wish list. With Restylane, you can offer a more pronounced mouth or a soft pouting look using the body's own material.

Lip augmentation is usually carried out in two steps – pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, Restylane is injected into the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with the marking of the vermilion border by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. The philtrum ridges can be defined by injecting the gel into the lines. To achieve the optimal result, a combination of these steps is often used.



Shaping Facial Contours

Many people are looking for a slightly fuller shape for their chin. Just a touch of additional volume can make an enormous difference, giving the face a fuller or more defined appearance. Or perhaps your patient wants a rounder, more sensual line along the cheeks to bring out that youthful innocence?

Injected into the skin, Restylane Perlane corrects deep folds and lifts up the skin from the cheeks and chin, giving a new shape to the facial contours.
