Restylane is a crystal-clear gel that is injected into the skin producing long-lasting correction of lines, folds and wrinkles. Restylane, or hyaluronic acid, is non-animal derived, biodegradable, and natural. It is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle, filling out lips, facial wrinkles and facial folds.

For the treatment lines, wrinkles, and folds, Restylane gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts producing a natural volume "foundation" that lifts and smoothes the skin contour. Restylane is also used to create fuller and more youthful lips by accentuating pouting and fullness, and may be injected along the lip margins to enhance the contour and to prevent lipstick "bleed." After a thorough discussion of your desires with Dr. Kolker, a treatment plan will be developed specifically to achieve your goals.

Restylane is injected into the dermis and provides volume where the concentration of the body's own hyaluronic acid has decreased. One treatment session takes about 30 minutes, and is performed with topical or local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. There is little or no "down-time" following the procedure. The results are visible immediately, and may last from six months to one year or longer. Since 1996, more than 1,000,000 Restylane treatments have been successfully carried out worldwide.
