Restylane is a crystal clear gel that is injected into or just under the skin in small amounts to restore volume and structure, especially for the treatment of wrinkles and lines. It is based on hyaluronic acid, similar to the body’s own hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is non-animal which means that no skin tests are needed and that there is a minimal risk of allergic or hypersensitive reactions.

Restylane Treatment

Fine lines on the upper and lower lip that are not severe enough to require laser resurfacing smooth and fill nicely with Restylane. Fine Lines, deeper wrinkles and folds in the cheek areas (nasolabial, melolabial and lines at the corners of the mouth) respond well using Restylane.

After Restylane Treatment

Depending on the area treated, most folds and wrinkles require one treatment. The repeat maintenance treatment is not usually required for approximately 6 months or longer. By experience these products last almost twice as long as regular collagen injections. A touch-up can be performed any time you like after the previous treatment.

After Dr. Prasad performs your Restylane and/or Perlane injections, normal activities can be resumed immediately. Discomfort is minimal. The treatment site may have a little swelling or redness, which may last a few hours. There may be some slight bruising which can be covered with make-up. Depending on the area treated, correction can last up to 6 months or longer. If the lips are treated, initial swelling and tenderness may occur within the first several days, but subsides after 2-3 days.
