RESTYLANE - Dermal Fillers

Restylane is one of the most exciting and effective injectable fillers. Restylane has all of the benefits of
the other injectable fillers, with a few improvements: it is hypoallergenic and lasts must longer than
regular fillers.  Now with injectable fillers we can treat the specific trouble spots on your face. Injectable
fillers are designed to fill the area underneath lines and wrinkles, to give support to the skin so that it
no longer creases.

Impressions of beauty change with time , for many people, the most annoying part of signs of
premature aging are the deep lines or creases that form from laughing and smiling, scowling and
frowning - those signs of life and experience.  With RESTYLANE, you can have a natural beauty lift with
the body's own material. RESTYLANE is a plant derived bio-degradable non-animal crystal-clear gel
based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. Because it is plant-based as opposed to
animal-based, Restylane is not considered a common allergen. Also, because of the way the
hyaluronic acid interacts with your body's own moisture, treatments typically last up to nine months -
that is two to three times longer than a typical collagen injection.

Using a very fine needle, Restylane is carefully administered underneath the wrinkle or crease
restoring volume and fullness to facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane is also used to add volume to the
lips. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and
safe.. A topical cream or anesthetic can be used in conjunction, but is not required. The results are
instantly visible. Treatments usually take less than 30 minutes and because there is no healing or
downtime, you can be back to work or your normal activities immediately afterwards.

Depending on the effects you wish to achieve, the initial treatment is best maintained with occasional
follow-up treatments. Most people choose to have a new treatment within 6 months, though your
frequency of treatments will vary depending on your goals.

There are very few risks or complications associated with Restylane. Some people experience some
swelling or redness at the injection sites, but this is temporary and wears off within a day or two.

If you are at or over age 40, an electrocardiogram will be required. You must stop smoking, taking
aspirin or taking diet pills at least two weeks prior to the procedure.

       What is RESTYLANE?
RESTYLANE is a gel that is injected into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds. RESTYLANE consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in your
body. Once in the skin, RESTYLANE works by creating volume. Some dermal fillers are derived from
animal substances. The hyaluronic acid in RESTYLANE is non-animal.
       What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It gives volume to the skin, lubricates the joints and gives the eyes their shape. The hylaluronic acid in RESTYLANE is stabilized
for long duration and is not of animal origin.
       How is a treatment performed?
During treatment, the crystal-clear RESTYLANE gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. When
enhancing lips or facial contours, RESTYLANE adds volume and shape to the treated area.
  How long will the treatment session take?
Treatment with RESTYLANE is a very quick and easy process. As no pre-test is needed, the treatment can be carried out immediately. A treatment generally takes 30 minutes. The time differs somewhat,
depending on the correction you wish to have performed.
  What can be treated?
RESTYLANE can be used for smoothing out folds and wrinkles, lip enhancements and shaping facial contours. The most common areas are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), the nasolabial
folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of the mouth) and the lips, although other sites can also
be treated. Very superficial or very deep wrinkles may be difficult to correct. Please consult your
physician for an assessment.
  Does it hurt?
Most people find the injections relatively painless. They may prick a little. If you like, a topical anaesthetic can be applied to the area being treated prior to your procedure. When enhancing the lips,
a local anaesthetic injection is often given.
  How soon will I see the results?   The results can be seen immediately.
What will I look like after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The discomfort is temporary and
generally disappears in a few days. After a lip treatment, the lips may become swollen and look
somewhat uneven. This can persist for a few days (up to a week). If the discomfort continues, please
contact your physician.
What should I bear in mind after my treatment with RESTYLANE?
During the first 48 hours after your treatment, do not massage or rub the treated area. If you have had a lip enhancement, avoid puckering your lips for the first two days after the treatment. Until the initial
swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. in a solarium
or by sunbathing) or extreme cold.
   Can RESTYLANE be removed?
No however, RESTYLANE dissolves naturally with time. If you feel uncertain about the desired result, you can choose to have the treatment done in steps on different occasions.
   Does RESTYLANE get stiffer in cold weather? What happens in the sun?
You should not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. in a solarium or by sunbathing) or extreme cold for the first few days after the treatment in order to avoid the risk of inflammation as the
area has been disturbed. However, once RESTYLANE has integrated into the body, it will adjust to
your normal body temperature.
   How will my skin look without follow-up treatments?
The correction will gradually disappear until your skin looks like it did before the treatment. Follow-up injections will help you maintain your correction.

Restylane is the perfect compliment to other treatments as well. Restylane easily integrates with other
procedures, has little chance of risk or complications, lasts two to three times longer than collagen
injections and takes less than 30 minutes to administer. With so many benefits and great features, it
makes sense to find out if Restylane is right for you.
