A crystal-clear, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid gel which is biodegradable, based on a natural substance (called hyaluronic acid) and is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe to your skin.
Active Ingredient: Non-Animal, Stabilized, Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA)
Classification: General Sale
Purpose/Usage: Restylane is a safe and effective treatment that gives natural volume in your skin to lift and produce new firmness, resulting in a healthy, vital appearance. After injection, Restylane generally remains for 6-12 months when injected into the skin. Due to a very effective stabilization method, the volume remains intact for a long period of time. As the injected stabilized hyaluronic acid in Restylane breaks down, water takes its place. The less concentrated the gel becomes, the more water it is able to bind. This is one of the main reasons why Restylane lasts so long.
Since 1996, more than three million people have been successfully treated in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Directions: Restylane products should only be administered by a qualified health professional. Please consult your doctor for details. Follow the directions for using Restylane that your doctor provides you.
Warnings: After treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within a few days after injection into the skin and within a week after the injection into the lips.
Other types of reactions are very rare, but about 1 in 2000 treated patients have experienced localized reactions thought to be of a hypersensitive nature. These have usually consisted of swelling at the injection site, sometimes affecting the surrounding tissues. Redness, tenderness and rarely acne-like formations have also been reported. These reactions have either started a few days after the injection or after a delay of two to four weeks, and have generally been described as mild to moderate and self-limiting with an average duration of two weeks. Please read the enclosed leaflet.
