Restylane Information – Cost, Risks and Results
The advanced dermal filler Restylane has become a revolutionary treatment used to smooth out facial wrinkles, eliminate facial folds and lines around the nose, mouth and the forehead. Top cosmetic specialists frequently use Restylane to perform facial rejuvenation treatments. Restylane results often become apparent immediately following treatment with continued improvement over several days. Just as any other filler, Restylane is a temporary solution that can last up to six months.
Originally developed in Sweden, Restylane is made out of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in humans that is often depleted as part of the aging process. Restylane is a clear gel that is injected into the patient's skin with a very thin needle to help minimize discomfort. In general, Restylane treatments take about 15 minutes and patients are free to leave shortly after the procedure.
Recovery time is minimal, unless a patient develops minor side effects, which include swelling, redness and discomfort of the injection sites. Patients experiencing severe side effects should seek medical attention immediately. However, serious complications following Restylane injections are extremely rare.
Restylane is one of many anti-aging products, including Juvederm, Radiesse, Dysport, Sculptra and Botox, that patients and their plastic surgeons can utilize to treat each aesthetic concerns. Patients who are self-conscious about their facial appearance should discuss permanent cosmetic surgery options with a surgeon who can offer a number of advanced surgical procedures for the face, body and/or breasts.
