Restylane® Treatment - San Francisco
Injectable Dermal Filler

Restylane® is fast becoming a popular choice as an injectable filler for treating facial wrinkles, as well as for plumping up lips. Because it is water-soluble, it fills wrinkles and depressions in the skin with a natural substance while slowly being reabsorbed by the body.

Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance present in the human body 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 that is gentle and safe to your skin.

Restylane is very effective for diminishing wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, the lips, the nasolabial folds (commonly referred to as "parentheses"), and the frown lines (between the eyebrows). Results will last from 6 to 12 months.

Restylane is also an excellent temporary filler for lip augmentation. Experience shows that Restylane treatment is effective for up to six months when injected in the lips. Because the effects of Restylane injections are not permanent, you have the option to discontinue use if your tastes or fashion trends change.
