Restylane

Restylane® is the first and only FDA approved dermal filler made of biodegradable Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™), a completely natural substance which already exists in the human body.

Restylane® is formulated as a clear gel and uses a dual mechanism of action to correct wrinkles and folds. Upon being injected beneath the skin's surface, the NASHA gel adds natural volume and lift to smooth wrinkles and folds. The NASHA gel integrates into dermal tissue then attracts and binds to water molecules to help maintain volume. Restylane® is naturally degraded by the body gradually and disappears without any residue. Results can be seen immediately following treatment and lasts six months, or even longer.

Restylane® is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the lines between the nose and mouth). In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, Restylane® showed a statistically significant difference over bovine Collagen (56.9 percent versus 9.5 percent, respectively) with respect to change from baseline, when used to correct nasolabial folds. In addition, these results were sustained more than six months, significantly longer than Collagen.

Restylane® is biocompatible and biodegradable since it is made of hyaluronic acid, which naturally exists in the human body. Restylane® has been used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons in more than one million procedures, and in more than 60 countries outside of the United States since 1996. In clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events were redness and swelling, which typically occurred at the injection site and were transient and mild to moderate in intensity.
