What is Restylane?

Restylane is a gel that is injected into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds. Restylane consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in your body. Once in the skin, Restylane works by creating volume. It gives natural volume in your skin to lift and produce new firmness, resulting in a healthy, youthfull appearance. The result is instant and Restylane gives you long-lasting and natural enhancement. Some dermal fillers are derived from animal substances. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is non-animal.
