Restylane

Restylane is an injectable skin filler. It is used to smooth lines, wrinkles and creases, to make the lips fuller and to fill some scars

Restylane is a clear gel form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It is a non-animal filler and does not require a patch test.

The gel is injected into the skin with a fine needle, adding volume without affecting the face's natural expression.

Restylane has FDA approval, and over 9 million treatments have been carried out worldwide.

Before treatment all clients have a consultation, and a discussion about how much filler will be used and where. A numbing gel is used to alleviate discomfort.

Most treatments take 20-30 minutes. Results are instant and last 6-12 months.

After effects can include redness, swelling, bruising and itching. Full information is given prior to treatment, together with written information to take home.
