FDA approved Restylane® offers
longer lasting facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction.
Restylane improves the
resilience and youthful contours of your skin and
its ability to counter the effects of gravity, time, wind and weather.
Restylane plays an important role giving volume
to the skin, shape to the eyes and elasticity to the joints. Restylane,
composed of Hyaluronic Acid, is found
naturally in your skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic Acid
has a chemical structure similar in many ways to sugar and is identical in
all species and in all tissue types, making Restylane a
very safe product for you.
Each of us has natural lines that can be improved. Restylane
can be used to give you a long-lasting and
natural beauty lift: smoothing wrinkles and folds, and gives
your mouth a fuller, more sensuous appearance.

Anti-aging:
As we age, soft tissue in the face degenerates, resulting in
a thinning of the skin and a loss of firmness, plumpness or volume, and
elasticity. This leads to sagging, sinking and a general flattening of
facial features. Treatment with Restylane® can help to at least partially
restore the appearance of all of the areas of the face affected by this
aging and loss of volume, creating an anti-aging effect.
Surgery can help tighten the skin and botulinum toxin
injections can relax facial muscles to release dynamic wrinkles, but neither
can replace lost volume. The Restylane® suite of products is the most
effective solution for restoring volume-reducing the signs of aging and
helping you look fresher and more youthful. When Restylane's crystal-clear
gel is injected into the skin, the result is increased volume-softening
wrinkles and folds on the face. Increased volume can create facial fullness
and symmetry, enhance certain facial features, and lessen the signs of
aging.
Restylane® products contain different gel-particle sizes
that are utilized for different effects and purposes-from eliminating tiny
lines to enhancing facial contours. Utilizing Restylane's Tissue-Tailored
Concept™, your aesthetic physician will choose the right product combination
to create the look you desire.

Lip Augmentation/Enhancement:
Restylane is an ideal substance for restoring and enhancing
portions of the lips, and filling in the areas of the face known as tear
troughs.
Tear troughs are deep grooves that can appear between the
lower eyelid and the cheek.
Treatment with Restylane can be successful with even the most pronounced
tear troughs. The procedure of filling the tear troughs takes approximately
10 - 15 minutes, and can make you look much more rested and youthful for
approximately 6 months.
Many of us also would like to have a fuller and more
sensuous mouth. The use of Restylane produces a more pronounced mouth or a
soft, pouting look without surgical intervention. Restylane is injected into
the inside of the upper and/or lower lip to produce the augmentation. This
is often combined with injection of Restylane along the edge of the lips,
producing a more youthful and appealing look.
The use of very small volumes of Restylane creates a more
defined and pronounced mouth and fuller lips without altering or distending
the lips and mouth. The injections also are done with a very small-tipped
needle after the area is anesthetized, so you don't feel any pain. The
physician also is very careful to make sure both sides of your mouth are
symmetrical after the procedure, and to massage in the Restylane so it is
evenly distributed and the appearance is not bumpy or unnatural looking.

Wrinkle Reduction & Removal:
Our skin contains less hyaluronic acid and hence is less
full as we age. This makes the skin become looser, resulting, in turn, in
wrinkling and an older appearance of the skin. Other things can cause
wrinkles as well: smoking, sun bathing and pollution can damage the skin at
any age.
Restylane can smooth out the folds and wrinkles in your
skin, making a very big difference in your appearance. The injected gel
produces 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 your face. The
effects last for approximately 6 months.

Smile & Forehead Lines and Wrinkles:
Smoothing out folds and lines by adding volume can make an
enormous difference to your appearance. With Restylane, facial rejuvenation
can be carried out without the use of foreign substances or surgical
intervention.
When treating lines or folds, Restylane is injected into the
skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel produces
natural volume under the lines and folds, which are lifted up and smoothed
out. The results can be seen immediately. Treatment with Restylane is fast
and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
Specifically, Restylane can be used to decrease both the
horizontal lines across your forehead and the vertical lines between your
eyebrows that are a normal part of the process of aging and loss of skin
volume. A 15-minute treatment with small amounts of Restylane can produce a
facelift-like effect, making smile lines and forehead lines less visible and
pushing back the hands of time.
Restylane treatment is long-lasting but not permanent. This
means that you always have the option to assess your looks. The length of
time a treatment maintains its effect is very individual and depends on many
factors, such as your age, skin type, life-style and muscle activity, as
well as the injection technique. Experience shows that Restylane can be
effective for up to one year or more after the treatment of lines and folds.
Together with your practitioner, you can draw up a plan for regular future
visits to maintain the result. Most patients choose to have a follow-up
treatment approximately six to 12 months after the initial treatment of
wrinkles, lines and folds.

Acne Scar Treatment and Removal:
Acne scars unfortunately can stay on your skin for years
after you've passed adolescence. They also tend to become more accentuated
with age, as skin loses its volume. More than one million Canadians suffer
from acne scarring. The most common types of acne scars are pockmarks and
ice-pick scars. Restylane is best suited for filling and hence removing
either shallow or deep pockmarks left over from adolescent acne. It s
injected into the area of the scar, filling and smoothing the surface of the
depression. After Restylane treatment your skin will be smooth and the scars
will be barely visible. The results are immediately apparent. Patients
usually require touch-up treatments approximately every six months to a
year.
