About Restylane Treatment
Restylane
is a long-lasting and crystal-clear gel for filling out lips, facial wrinkles
and facial folds. Thanks to Q-Med’s stabilization process
the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is almost identical to that naturally found
in the body and only very slightly modified (0.5 - 1%). Other hyaluronic
acid based, injectable implants are often modified by about 20%. Restylane
is therefore completely biologically degradable - the body’s metabolism
of hyaluronic acid corresponds to 200 syringes of Restylane per day. The
product is also naturally integrated into the tissue, thus allowing important
nutritive agents to pass freely through the implant and cells to pass between
fragments of the gel.
Details: Restylane smoothes wrinkles and enhances lips instantly
If you would like to get rid of wrinkles and folds or if you want
to improve the image of your lips, there is a new answer to your
needs. Restylane is an innovation based on non-animal hyaluronic
acid, manufactured by a unique method in the Q-Med Laboratories
in Sweden. The treatment is performed by injecting Restylane into
the skin or lip, and because no pretest is needed it takes less
than 30 minutes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and
therefore dissolves naturally with time.
Procedure: Restylane is injected into the
dermis and provides volume where the concentration of the
body’s
own hyaluronic acid has decreased. One treatment session
takes about 30 minutes.
The results can be seen immediately and no scars or other
marks are left on the face. Even though the treated area can swell
up somewhat and be red for up to one day afterwards, it is
quite possible to meet other people and work as normal. The
patented
stabilization method means that Restylane has a longer-lasting
effect than competing preparations.
Length: The treatment takes about 30 minutes and the result is
prompt.
Anesthesia: When treating wrinkles, pain relief is usually not
needed but can be easily achieved.
In/Outpatient: Inpatient procedure
Side-Effects / Risks: Reactions are very uncommon, but about 1
in 2000 persons have experienced transient swelling, redness and
tenderness at or near the treatment site(s) up to several weeks
after treatment. For further details concerning your specific treatment,
please consult the doctor.
Recovery: Immediately after the treatment the treated area can
be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal result of the injection,
and it generally goes away in a day or two.
Results: How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts is very
individual. It depends on many factors, such as the structure of
the skin, lifestyle and age as well as on the degree of perfection
demanded by the individual. However, we know that for the majority
of the patients treated about 50-80 % of the effect remains after
6 months. Most people choose to have a touchup done within a year
of the original treatment. Clinical studies show that Restylane
can offer a high degree of patient satisfaction up to one year
after treatment.
The great thing about Restylane is that you can replenish your
natural beauty whenever you feel the need. A touchup can be performed
any time you like after the previous treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. WHAT IS RESTYLANE?
A. It is a gel that is injected under the skin in order to add
volume and lift up the lips, wrinkles and folds. Restylane
consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already
present
in the skin. Once in the skin, Restylane works together with
the body´s own hyaluronic acid and join forces to create
volume.
Q. WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?
A. Some of the functions of hyaluronic acid in the body are; creating
volume to the skin, giving the eye its shape and lubricate joints.
Q. HOW IS RESTYLANE PRODUCED?
A. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is, in contrast to other similar
substances, not produced from animals. This means no risk for adverse
events.
Q. WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
A. The most common areas are the glabellar lines (between the
eyebrows), the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the
angle of the mouth) and the lips but also other sites can be treated.
Very superficial or very deep wrinkles may be difficult to correct.
Please consult your physician for a judgment.
Q. WHICH RESULT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM A LIP-TREATMENT?
A. The vermilion border can be accentuated and the lips can be
given more volume.
Q. WHAT IS TREATMENT WITH RESTYLANE LIKE?
A. A Restylane treatment is a very easy and quick process. Since
no pre-testing is needed, the treatment can be made immediately
and it takes about 30 minutes. The result is instant. Restylane
is injected with a very thin needle under the skin.
Q. DO THE INJECTIONS HURT?
A. It is very individually depending on how pain sensitive you
are. The injections may prick a little but normally, no anesthesia
is needed for treatment of wrinkles and folds. Most people report
that the injections are relatively painless. A lip treatment can
be quite uncomfortable and therefore, a nerve block is normally
made.
Q. CAN THE MATERIAL BE REMOVED?
A. No, but since Restylane is a natural material it dissolves
with time. If you feel insecure about the wanted result, it is
possible to make the treatment at different occasions.
Q. IS IT DANGEROUS?
A. Restylane is a safe product. Since hyaluronic acid is naturally
present in the body, the skin does not react to the material. With
over 100 000 people treated today, only a very small number of
reactions have been reported. These reactions may consist of prolonged
but temporary redness, swelling, itching or tenderness. Most have
lasted for a couple of weeks.
Q. HOW WILL MY SKIN LOOK AFTER THE TREATMENT?
A. Immediately after the treatment, there may be a slight redness,
swelling, tenderness or itching sensation at the treated area.
This is only normal cause of the injection and the inconvenience
is temporary, it generally goes away in a day or two. After a lip
treatment, the lips may get swollen and look somewhat uneven. This
can persist for a couple of days (up to a week). If the inconvenience
continues, please contact your physician.
Q. HOW LONG IS THE EFFECT?
A. Restylane eventually totally disappears out of the body. How
long the effect of a Restylane treatment lasts is very individual.
It depends on many factors such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle
and age as well as on the degree of perfection demanded by the
individual. For the majority of the patients after a wrinkle treatment
about 50-80 % of the effect remains after 6 months and most people
choose to have a touchup treatment done within a year of the original
treatment. For lip augmentation, a new treatment is needed after
about 6 months.
Q. HOW WILL MY SKIN LOOK WITHOUT "TOUCHUP" TREATMENTS?
A. The correction will gradually disappear until your skin looks
like it did before the treatment. Touchup injections will help
you maintain your correction.
