Restylane - Treatment using Hyaluronic Acid
As we age, the level of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid gradually decreases. And as a result, the skin dries out becoming more fragile and wrinkles appear. The tissues in the skin progressively weaken and the skin loses elasticity and tone.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is a crystal - clear gel form of hyaluronic acid. A substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid holds water and acts as a hydrating agent widely distributed in the skin. Its unique properties preserve moisture levels in the dermis and boost skin tone, giving it volume. It is a powerful, natural, moisturizing agent.
The hydrating action of Restylane helps to restore the suppleness of the skin, improving the overall physiological condition of the skin. Clinical studies have shown that pure hyaluronic acid can have an antioxidating effect in the dermis combating free radicals (especially in clients who smoke or have sun damaged skin.) Treatment with Restlylane therapy helps to maintain optimum levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin therefore maintaining youthfulness and slowing the aging process to the skin.
The Procedure:
During the treatment, the crystal - clear gel form of hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very thin needle. The gel then gives natural volume and smoothes the wrinkles.
How long does the treatment last?
Most Clients choose to have follow - up treatments six to twelve months after the initial treatment of wrinkles or facial contouring. However after lip treatments, a follow is normally required after about four to six months, depending on the individual.

It’s ideal for those looking for that slightly fuller shape for their chin. It’s a chance to have a rounder, more sensuous line around the cheeks.
