Restylane is a kind of sugar molecule produced by human skin that does not contain animal raw materials. It has the ability to hold water up to 100 times its own volume. Its use in aesthetic surgery is also due to this feature. It is used to create fullness in these areas by injecting into and under the skin.
Restylane acts as a body building block by combining with similar structural elements in the area where it is injected. There is no allergic reaction or foreign body effect. By adding new bonds to its chemical structure, it is ensured that it remains in the body for a long time without breaking down. Decomposition products are not harmful to the body, since they are in the same structure as the body’s own structural elements. There is no need to test before application.
Restylane is used almost entirely on the face area. The places where it is used most often;
Lips, laugh lines, rim lines, tear fountain lines. However, before the oil injections, rehearsal applications are also made.
Restylane (hyaluronic acid) is supplied in 1 cc syringes with needle tips of two different thicknesses. Before the procedure, the skin is anesthetized with anesthetic creams, thus preventing the patient from feeling pain. The solution is injected just under or inside the skin in such a way as to achieve symmetry. The effect is immediate and the patient can immediately evaluate the procedure.
Filling the face with Restylane is a process that takes about half an hour. There is no need for an additional application other than applying ice for a very short time after the procedure.
The results obtained last 6-8 months. At the end of this period, the procedure can be repeated or oil injection can be made.
