RESTYLANE
Q Is Restylane® safe?
A Yes. Restylane has been used by dermatologists
and plastic surgeons since 1996
worldwide. There is limited risk of animalbased
disease transmission or allergic
reaction. Restylane is fully biocompatible
and allergy testing is not required. Restylane
contains trace amounts of gram-positive
bacterial proteins and should not be used by
patients with a history of allergies to such
material. After your treatment, you might
have some redness or swelling. This will normally
last less than seven days. Sunbathing
and cold outdoor activities should be avoided
until any redness or swelling disappear. If
you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18,
you shouldn’t use Restylane.
Q Can Restylane be used anywhere
on the face?
A Restylane has been used in more than 1.5
million treatments in over 60 countries to
correct a variety of wrinkles. In the U.S. the
FDA has approved Restylane for wrinkles
and folds like the ones from the nose to
the corners of the mouth. Your doctor will
consult with you prior to your injection
regarding common treatment areas.
Q How long does Restylane last?
A Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting
results. Studies have shown that Restylane
effects generally last for about six months1.
Restylane’s stabilization technology helps
maintain the cosmetic effect until the
injected material is nearly gone.
