What is Restylane?

Restylane and Perlane are long-lasting gels that are injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle to lift and add volume to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the body’s own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), both products have been proven to be safe. The hyaluronic acid in RESTYLANE and PERLANE simply supplements the body’s age-depleted hyaluronic acid to plump-up the lip or to raise the skin and ‘fill in’ the particular wrinkle being treated. Instantaneously, and with long-lasting results, wrinkles can be smoothed, lips can be sculpted, and facial contours can be shaped.

Restylane and Perlane are classified as cosmetic fillers. Restylane and Perlane are probably the most exciting non-surgical advancements in facial rejuvenation today. While there are numerous injectable fillers on the market today, many of them have their drawbacks ranging from allergic reactions to short life spans. Restylane and Perlane are safe and natural.

In 1996, the biotechnology company Q-Med of Sweden created a genetically engineered version of hyaluronic acid (Restylane and Perlane). Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide, or natural sugar, that is found largely in the skin. Its primary function is to provide volume and pliability to the skin. The unique characteristic of hyaluronic acid is its ability to bind with water up to 1000 times its volume. This property makes it ideal as a filler agent, for even while hyaluronic acid filler is being naturally degraded it continues to attract more water to it. This characteristic allows it to hold its shape even longer.
