Restylane

Restylane are both natural treatments that can achieve long lasting results without resorting to invasive surgery.

Consisting of non-animal, stabilised Hyaluronic Acid, (which occurs naturally in the body) both Restylane works by replenishing the body's own supply of hyaluronic acid which is lost due to the ageing process. This causes the skin to become dryer and thinner resulting in the appearance of facial lines.

Once injected into the skin Restylane will lift, 'plump-out' and add volume to the areas being treated. Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and because both products are natural, no pre-testing is required. Results are immediate and the effects can last up to 9 months.

How does a Restylane treatment work?
During treatment, small amounts of Restylane are injected just under the skin's surface using an ultra-fine needle. The gel particles create natural volume to the area, smoothing facial lines and wrinkles instantly creating a more youthful appearance.

How is a Restylane lip treatment done?
Small amounts of the crystal clear gel are injected along the lip line to emphasise the contour of the lip. For lip volume which creates a fuller more sensuous look a series of tiny injections are made directly into the flesh of the upper and/or lower lip.

How often will I need a Restylane treatment?
This can vary from patient to patient and is dependent on many factors such as skin type, age, and the level of correction required. A personal treatment plan can be advised but normally patients choose to have the treatment a least twice per year to maintain a good result.

Is Restylane painful?
A slight pricking sensation is felt when Restylane is injected. For the more sensitive patient a local anaesthetic cream or dental block is applied approximately 30 minutes before the treatment is administered.

Are there any side effects to a Restylane treatment?
Side effects are very rare. Slight redness, swelling or tenderness may occur but will generally disappear within a few days.
