Frequently Asked Questions
How does Restylane work?
Restylane is a crystal-clear gel produced biotechnologically using stabilized, nonanimal
hyaluronic acid and water. The hyaluronic acid is a tissue-friendly substance closely
resembling the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. By replenishing nature’s
supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane revitalizes and plumps up the skin, instantly
diminishing the appearance of lines and giving a softer look.

What does Restylane treatment involve?
Restylane is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle. The gel
provides hydration and structure and gives natural volume to smooth away the
appearance of lines, enhance facial shape, or create fuller lips.

The treatment is very quick and often takes less than 30 minutes. The treatment benefits
can normally be seen instantly and Restylane does not affect facial expression. No skin
test is required because Restylane does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.  

How long does Restylane treatment effect last?
One of the great advantages of Restylane is that the effects are long lasting but not
permanent. You are always in control of your looks.
Facial lines and facial shaping: follow-up treatment is usually needed after 6-12 months
Lip enhancement: follow-up treatment is normally needed in about 6 months
Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age, the degree of
perfection demanded by the patient and the injection technique of the practitioner.

Does Restylane treatment hurt?
Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anesthetic
cream is often used. Another form of anesthesia, a dental bloc, is used to numb the area
when enhancing lips.

Is there any downtime with Restylane?
You can expect slight redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching and/or bruising following
Restylane treatment. This is the same as you might expect with any type of injection.
However, the discomfort is temporary and generally disappears after a few days. With lip
enhancement, it is wise to choose your treatment time with care since your lips may
become swollen and appear slightly uneven for a few days.
