What is RESTYLANE?
A natural beauty lift Impressions of beauty change with time - as do our faces as we age. With RESTYLANE, you can have a natural beauty lift with the body's own material. RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.
A new look in 30 minutes Achieving the look you desire is as easy as it is quick. The result is instantaneous. No previous skin test is needed, which means that you can have the treatment immediately. The session often takes less than thirty minutes. The time differs somewhat depending on the correction you want to have performed. During treatment, RESTYLANE is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. When injected into the skin, RESTYLANE produces volume that smoothes the wrinkle or fold, shapes the facial contour or enhances the lips in a natural way. The result is immediate. The method of injecting RESTYLANE is fast and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face. Pain Reduction For wrinkle treatments, pain relief is not required by all patients; however it can be easily arranged at your request. Prior to your procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area to be treated. You can also choose to have a local anaesthetic injection. After Treatment Immediately after the treatment, you can expect a slight redness, swelling, tenderness and 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. When it comes to lip augmentation, the swelling may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week. During this time, the lips can look somewhat uneven. This means that the result directly after the treatment should not be regarded as the final result. If the discomfort continues or if other reactions occur, you should always contact your practitioner.  A touch-up treatment within 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment may be necessary to achieve an optimal correction In charge of your looks As your face is constantly changing, beauty is best maintained by evaluating the need for further treatment from time to time. With RESTYLANE, you are always in charge of your looks. With RESTYLANE, you always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. The treatment can be repeated as often as you like. Long-lasting, but not permanent One of the great advantages of RESTYLANE is that it is long-lasting, but not permanent. Unlike permanent treatments or implants, RESTYLANE always leaves you with the option of re-evaluating your needs when the initial effect has worn off. With RESTYLANE, you will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. A follow-up can be performed at any time you like after the previous treatment. Non-animal As RESTYLANE is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs. Unlike some other injectable products for wrinkle treatment and lip enhancement (for example collagen made from cow hide and hyaluronic acid made from rooster combs), RESTYLANE is a totally non-animal product. This means that there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs. Unique product RESTYLANE is the only injectable dermal filler containing NASHA, Non-Animal, Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. When RESTYLANE breaks down, water takes its place. When totally absorbed, RESTYLANE turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears without leaving any trace in your body. Gentle and safe RESTYLANE is a safe product, made of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the body. RESTYLANE was the first CE-approved, non-animal, stabilized, injectable hyaluronic acid for aesthetic use. As it is free from animal substances, the risk of transmitting diseases from other species is completely eliminated. To date, more than a million treatments have successfully been carried out with RESTYLANE in more than 60 countries worldwide. Patented production process RESTYLANE is produced under carefully controlled conditions in a patented process, exclusively developed by Q-Med AB. All RESTYLANE products carry a CE-mark, which means that they comply with the requirements specified in the EU and are thereby approved for sale within the EU. The production process of RESTYLANE also complies with the internationally-recognized ISO 13485:2000 standards and local requirements for the markets where RESTYLANE is registered. Satisfied users RESTYLANE has a long record of success with many satisfied users. Since 1996, more than 1,500,000 treatments have been successfully carried out all over the world. Side effects After the treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within a few days after injection into the skin and within a week after the injection into the lips. Other types of reactions are very rare, but about 1 in 2000 treated patients have experienced localized reactions thought to be of a hypersensitive nature. These have usually consisted of swelling at the injection site, sometimes affecting the surrounding tissues. Redness, tenderness and rarely acne-like formations have also been reported. These reactions have either started a few days after the injection or after a delay of two to four weeks, and have generally been described as mild to moderate and self-limiting with an average duration of two weeks.

Sculpting lips For many people a fuller and more sensuous mouth comes high on their wish list. With RESTYLANE, you can enjoy a more pronounced mouth or a soft pouting look with the body's own material. Lip augmentation can be carried out in two steps; pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, RESTYLANE is injected into the inside of the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with the marking of the contour of the lip by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. It also prevents lipstick "bleeding" into the small lines around the lips. The lines that go up towards the nose (philtrum ridges) can be defined by injecting the gel into them. To achieve the optimal result, a combination of these steps is often used. Anaesthesia When treating the lips, pain relief in the form of local anaesthesia is often used. Duration  After the injection, the lips often become a little swollen. This means that the result directly after the treatment may not be the final result. (The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a few days or up to a week .) To achieve the result you want it is recommended to have a touch-up treatment 2 to 4 weeks after the initial session. This will also add to the duration of the treatment effect. Experience shows that RESTYLANE is effective for up to six months when injected in the lips. Together with your practitioner, you can draw up a plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result. A long-lasting but not permanent result leaving you the option of correcting your treatment in tune with changing taste and fashion.
Smoothing wrinkles Smoothing out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous difference to your appearance. With RESTYLANE, facial rejuvenation can be carried out without the use of foreign elements. When treating wrinkles or folds, RESTYLANE is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel produces natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. The results can be seen immediately. Treating wrinkles with RESTYLANE is fast and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face. Anaesthesia For wrinkle treatments, pain relief is not required by all patients; however, it can be easily arranged at your request. Duration A RESTYLANE wrinkle treatment is long-lasting but not permanent. This means that you always have the option to assess your looks. The length of time a treatment maintains its effect is very individual and depends on many factors, such as your age, skin type, life-style and muscle activity, as well as the injection technique. Experience shows that RESTYLANE can be effective for up to one year or more after the treatment of wrinkles. Together with your practitioner, you can draw up a plan for regular future visits to maintain the result. Most patients choose to have a follow-up treatment six to twelve months after the initial treatment of wrinkles.
