Deep wrinkles and folds on the face can make you look older and can also make you look as if you are frowning or anxious. Although there are several ways to treat this problem, Restylane is an amazingly simple method that provides long lasting, immediate improvement for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds which run from the edges of the nose to the corners of the mouth) with no down time.

Like collagen, Restylane is injected at the site of the problem in tiny amounts by an ultra fine needle, but there are important differences between Restylane and other treatments. Restylane is a completely safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler, used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide since 1996. It is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. This is an acid that already exists in the human body and is used to provide natural volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a clear gel called NASHA™, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid, which is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid and is biodegradable. This eliminates the possibility of allergic reaction or animal-based disease transmission, which is a concern with using bovine collagen.
