called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with
a very fine needle. The result is instant and RESTYLANE gives you long-lasting

Achieving the look you desire is as quick as it is easy. The result is instantaneous. No prior skin test is needed, which means that you can have the treatment immediately. The session often takes less than thirty minutes. The time differs somewhat depending on the correction you want to have performed. During treatment, RESTYLANE is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. When injected into the skin, RESTYLANE produces volume that smoothes the wrinkle or fold, shapes facial contours or enhances the lips in a natural way. The result is immediate. The method of injecting RESTYLANE is fast and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
Pain Reduction
For wrinkle treatments, pain relief is not required by all patients; but can easily be arranged at your request. Prior to your procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area to be treated. You can also choose to have a local anaesthetic injection.
After Treatment
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect a slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection.The discomfort is temporary and generally disappears within a few days. When it comes to lip augmentation, the swelling may last longer. During this time, the lips can look somewhat uneven. This means that the result directly after the treatment should not be regarded as the final result. If the discomfort continues or if other reactions occur, you should always contact your practitioner.
A touch-up treatment within 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment may be necessary to achieve an optimal correction.

Sculpting lips
For many people, fuller and more sensuous lips comes high on their wish list. With RESTYLANE, you can enjoy a fuller lips or a soft sensuous look using material naturally found in the body.Lip augmentation can be carried out in two steps; pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, RESTYLANE is injected into the inside of the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with enhancing the contour of the lip by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. It also prevents lipstick "bleeding" into the small lines around the lips. The lines that go up towards the nose (philtrum ridges) can be defined by injecting the gel into them. A combination of these steps is often used to achieve the optimal result.
Duration
After the injection, the lips often become a little swollen. This means that the result directly after the treatment may not be the final result. (The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a few days.) To achieve the result you want it is recommended to have a touch-up treatment 2 to 4 weeks after the initial session is recommended. This will also add to the duration of the treatment effect.
Experience shows that RESTYLANE is effective six to nine months when injected into the lips. Together with your practitioner, you can draw up a plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result. RESTYLANE provides a long-lasting but not permanent result leaving you the option of correcting your treatment in tune with changing taste and fashion.
Before and After
In charge of your looks
As your face is constantly changing, beauty is best maintained by evaluating the need for further treatment from time to time. With RESTYLANE, you are always in charge of your looks. With RESTYLANE, you always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. The treatment can be repeated as often as you like.Long-lasting, but not permanent

of RESTYLANE is that it is long-lasting, but not permanent. Unlike permanent
treatments or implants, RESTYLANE always leaves you with the option of re-evaluating
your needs when the initial effect has worn off. With RESTYLANE, you will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. A follow-up can be performed at any time you like after the previous treatment.
Non-animal
As RESTYLANE is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs. Unlike some other injectable products for wrinkle treatment and lip enhancement (for example collagen made from cow hide and hyaluronic acid made from rooster combs), RESTYLANE is a totally non-animal product. This means that there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.Unique product
RESTYLANE is the only injectable agent containing NASHA, Non-Animal, Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid. When RESTYLANE breaks down, water takes its place. When totally absorbed, RESTYLANE turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears without leaving any trace in your body.Great ideas on how to keep a wringle free skin
How does a wrinkle occur? How many RESTYLANE treatments are performed each year? What can you do to prevent unwanted signs of ageing? These facts about your skin and health tell you the answers.- The largest organ in your body - The skin is the largest organ in the body, comprising about 15% of your body weight. The total skin surface of an adult ranges from 1.5-2 square metres.
- What happens as we age? Young skin is smooth and elastic and contains a large amount of hyaluronic acid that helps the skin look healthy. As we grow older, the ability of the skin to produce hyaluronic acid decreases and the amount of hyaluronic acid begins to fall. As hyaluronic acid helps to bind water, the ability of the skin to retain water also declines with age. As a result, the skin becomes drier, thinner and less able to restore itself. The loss of skin fullness also means that the skin becomes looser. This leads to wrinkling and the older appearance of the skin.
- The layers of your skin Your skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outer layer that protects you from heat and cold. The condition of the epidermis determines how your skin looks and also how well your skin absorbs and holds moisture. Wrinkles, however, are formed in the lower layers. The dermis is the middle layer of the skin and the skin's support structure. It is the thickest layer and comprises a network of collagen and elastin fibres. The subcutaneous tissue consists mainly of fat that keeps us warm, stores energy and protects inner organs.
- What causes lines and wrinkles? The dermis is the skin layer responsible for the skin's elasticity and resilience. The dermis functions as the skin's support structure, containing collagen, elastin and biological substances whose main function is to hold moisture in the skin. One of these substances is hyaluronic acid. As we age, the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases and the elastic elastin fibres become looser and tend to gather in formations, creating wrinkles and folds. However, age is not the only cause of wrinkles. Smoking, sun bathing and pollution damage the structure of your skin, irrespective of age.
- Exercise to combat wrinkles Did you know that exercise not only strengthens your body, but also reinforces your skin? When you subject your body to pressure in a work-out, you also exercise your skin. The increase in blood circulation increases the renewal of cells and makes the capillaries stronger. In this way, you prevent your facial skin becoming bloated, wrinkled and wealed. (M+ Bra, January, 2003)
- 6-8 hours of sleep If you want to appear full of life, don't compromise on your sleep. If you don't allow your body to rest for six to eight hours each night, your face will soon show signs of this. (Elle, March, 2003)
