Impressions
of beauty change with time - as do our faces as we age. With RESTYLANE, you
can have a natural beauty lift using material found naturally in the body. RESTYLANE
is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance,
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
and natural enhancement.
RESTYLANE is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and beauty. Since
1996, more than 3 million people have been successfully treated in more than
70 countries worldwide.
A new look in 30 minutes
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.
RESTYLANE Smoothes Wrinkles
Smoothing out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous difference
to your appearance. ith RESTYLANE, facial rejuvenation can be carried out without
the use of foreign substances.
When treating wrinkles or folds, RESTYLANE is injected into the skin in tiny
amounts with a very fine needle. 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 traces on the
face.
Duration
A RESTYLANE wrinkle treatment is long-lasting but not permanent. This means
that you always have the option to of assessing your looks. The length of time
a treatment maintains its effect depends on the individual and is influenced
by 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. 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 six to twelve months after the
initial treatment of wrinkles.
Before and After

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
One of the great advantages
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.
