Restylane® has been used in more than 3 million treatments in over 70 countries and is FDA approved in the U.S. for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds.
Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Additionally, Restylane is used to correct scars and to restore fullness and enhance lips. Dr. Berens is an experienced physician supported by his education and training in General and Dermatologic Surgery and Facial Aesthetics. Injections of Restylane are personally performed by Dr. Berens in his office.
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.
Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is hydrophilic or “water loving.” As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results.
Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen products, Restylane is free from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.*
The Restylane family of products includes Restylane-L®, Restylane® Silk, Perlane®, and Perlane-L®. Just like the other members of the Restylane family, Restylane Silk is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid — a sugar that is naturally present in your skin.
