If you would like to get rid of wrinkles and folds or if you want to improve the image of your lips, there is a new answer to your needs. Restylane is an innovation based on non-animal hyaluronic acid, manufactured by a unique method in the Q-Med Laboratories in Sweden. The treatment is performed by injecting Restylane into the skin or lip, and because no pre-test is needed it takes less than 30 minutes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and therefore it also dissolves naturally with time.

When Restylane is injected into the skin, the wrinkle is lifted.

Hyaluronic acid is present in all living organisms. In your skin it creates volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. Restylane contains hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal-clear gel injected into the skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in the skin, Restylane works together with the body's own hyaluronic acid and joins forces to create volume.

In contrast to other biodegradable implants, Resylane is not extraced from animals. Restylane is perfectly safe to use instantly without pre-testing.

Restylane's ability to bind water is unique, and when the molecules dissolve even they turn into water and depart without leaving any trace in your body. Unlike permanent implants, Restylane always leaves you a choice when the effect of the treatment has worn off. Who knows what the concept of ideal beauty will be in 5, 10 or 20 years? Furthermore, a face is constantly changing and beauty is best maintained by periodically evaluating the need for further treatment.

In pursuit of natural beauty the most important thing to maintain over the years is healthy skin. It is very important not to disturb the body's natural balance if you have an implant inserted.

Restylane is naturally integrated into the tissue and allows for the free passage of important nutritive elements like oxygen and hormones. As cells are also able to pass between fragments of the gel the result is healthy skin all the time Restylane is present in the body.

How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts is very individual. It depends on many factors such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle and age as well as on the degree of perfection demanded by the individual. However, we know that for the majority of the patients treated about 50-80% of the effect remains after 6 months. Most people choose to have a touch-up done within a year of the original treatment.

The great thing about Restylane is that you can replenish your natural beauty whenever you feel the need. A touch-up can be performed any time you like after the previous treatment.

The treatment takes about 30 minutes the result is prompt. When treating wrinkles, pain relief is not usually needed but can easily be achieved. Immediately after the treatment the treated area can be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal result of the injection, and it generally goes away in a day or two. Other types of reactions are very uncommon, but about 1 in 2000 persons have experienced transient swelling, redness and tenderness at or near the treatment site(s) up to several weeks after treatment.
