Immediate and long-lasting wrinkle correction
Q What is Restylane®?
A Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that
restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to
severe facial
wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Q What is Restylane made of?
A Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-
based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that
already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume
and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a
crystal-clear gel called NASHA,™ or Non-Animal Stabilized
Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is biodegradable and fully biocompatible
with human hyaluronic acid.
Q How is Restylane different than other hyaluronic acid-based
products?
A Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acidbased products, Restylane
is free from animal proteins. This quality limits any risk of animal-
based disease transmission or allergic reaction. Restylane contains
trace amounts of gram-positive bacterial proteins and should not
be used by patients with a history of allergies to such material.

Q Is Restylane® safe?
A Yes. Restylane has been used by dermatologists and plastic
surgeons since 1996 worldwide. There is limited risk of
animalbased disease transmission or allergic reaction. Restylane is
fully biocompatible
and allergy testing is not required. Restylane contains trace
amounts of gram-positive bacterial proteins and should not be used
by patients with a history of allergies to such material. After your
treatment, you might have some redness or swelling. This will
normally last less than seven days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor
activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappear.
If
you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you shouldn’t use
Restylane.
Q Can Restylane be used anywhere on the face?
A Restylane has been used in more than 1.5 million treatments in
over 60 countries to correct a variety of wrinkles. In the U.S. the
FDA has approved Restylane for wrinkles and folds like the ones
from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Your doctor will consult
with you prior to your injection regarding common treatment areas.
Q How long does Restylane last?
A Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting results. Studies have
shown that Restylane effects generally last for about six months1.
Restylane’s stabilization technology helps maintain the cosmetic
effect until the injected material is nearly gone. Nasolabial folds
before treatment Restylane® is indicated for the treatment of
moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
After treatment with three Restylane® 0.7 mL syringes Individual
results may vary.
Before Treatment After Treatment
Q How often should I have Restylane® treatments done?
A Treatments are typically scheduled twice a year. Having a touch-
up treatment before the product has fully dissipated may enhance
the lasting effect.
Q What should patients do prior to treatment?
A Restylane requires no pretesting, but you should take a few
precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, or high doses of
Vitamin E supplements
prior to treatment, because these may increase bruising or
bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered
from facial cold sores, discuss this with your physician. He/She may
consider prescribing a medication to minimize recurrence.
Q How is Restylane different from Botox® Cosmetic?
A Restylane is a natural, cosmetic filler. In contrast, Botox Cosmetic
is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying
muscles. Many patients have been very pleased after receiving
treatment with both products.
Q How is Restylane different from bovine collagen?
A Bovine collagen is derived from animals (cows) and requires an
allergy test. Restylane can be administered immediately—no
waiting is required.
