Learning about Restylane
For individuals wishing to eliminate or reduce the appearance of fine lines wrinkles and add volume to their lips, Restylane may be the right choice for you. Restylane is a derma-filler that replaces lost volume and restores youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as the lines from your nose to the corner of your mouth (nasolabial folds).
Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane has been modified slightly to last longer than the body's own hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is produced by a biotechnical process.
Restylane is hydrophilic or "water loving." The hydrophilic nature of these hyaluronic acid molecules and their three dimensional structure allows them to bind many times their own weight in water. As hyaluronic acid begins to degrade, each molecule binds to more water which helps to maintain its volume for about six months. Restylane contain no animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions.

Restylane Injections
Designed for patients who wish to treat the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles or folds and add fullness to their lips, Restylane injections are now FDA approved for use in the United States. In addition to correcting the signs of aging, Restylane injections can be used to provide lip augmentation and facial contouring. The major advantage to using Restylane injections is the active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body. And because Restylane injections contain no animal or human products, there is no risk of allergic reaction, so patients can receive treatment with Restylane injections immediately following consultation.
Restylane injections contain a clear gel that is injected just under the skin, raising the folds, creases and wrinkles to create a smoother surface. The material used in Restylane injections, hyaluronic acid, binds with water up to 1000 times its volume making it ideally suited as a filler, since even as the Restylane injections are being naturally absorbed by the body, they continue to attract more water, prolonging the appearance of the results. Although the effects of Restylane injections vary depending upon the individual and the location of the treatment, the majority of people receiving Restylane injections report 50-80% of the effect remain after 6 months. Most patients choose to have touch up Restylane injections done within one year of the original treatment.
The length of the effects of Restylane injections is almost twice that of collagen, and without the risk of allergic reactions or need to wait for treatment, Restylane injections are rapidly gaining popularity. Restylane injections is administered at ProLase Laser Clinic by a certified and experienced professional.

Restylane Results for Both Men and Women
The injectable filler Restylane is enjoying a booming popularity due mainly to Restylane results, which can last six months or longer, twice the length of collagen injections. Both men and women are enjoying its benefits. The longevity of Restylane results is due to the key component of Restylane , hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in body tissues and is partially responsible for the skin's youthful appearance. Restylane results reflect the unique property of hyaluronic acid to bind to water up to 1000 times its volume. This means that even as hyaluronic acid is being reabsorbed into the body, Restylane results continue to be visible, due to the water that remains under the skin's surface.
Patients who chose Restylane can see Restylane results almost immediately, and the full effects will appear within a few days of treatment. Because Restylane results fade gradually and slowly, patients can decide whether or not to have "touch up" injections, or to allow the Restylane results to simply disappear over time. Many patients are reassured by this flexibility in maintaining their Restylane results, not wanting to commit to a permanent change just yet. The ability to fully reverse any Restylane results without a trace is yet another reason for its popularity.
Since hyaluronic acid is not an animal product and occurs naturally in the human body, patients can enjoy Restylane results without risk of allergic reactions or disease. This also eliminates the need for time-consuming allergy test, meaning that a patient can walk out with visible Restylane results immediately following consultation. Additionally, because this filler is synthetic, vegans and others opposed to the use of animal products are able to enjoy Restylane results as well.
This product is unprecedented in its ease of use, short recovery period and lasting effects. With recent FDA approval, Restylane results are now available to both men and women who want fuller lips, a more youthful appearance, and fewer wrinkles.
