As we age, we not only lose elasticity in our skin, we also lose hyaluronic acid and as a result, our skin develops wrinkles and folds. While we believe that aging is a beautiful process, there are a few things we can do to help you look like the best version of yourself. One of those procedures is derma-fillers.

Restylane is a dermal-filler and the number one wrinkle filler in the United States. Restylane is made using naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, the same substance that already exists in the body. Restylane works quickly, adding volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and is most commonly used in the nasolabial folds, or the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Because Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture, it increasingly binds to the body’s own water molecules over time, which produces lasting results as the skin ages and loses moisture. In a clinical study of laugh lines (nasolabial folds), at least 95% of patients treated with Restylane continued to see results for up to 18 months after initial treatment when patients returned for a follow-up treatment at 4.5 or nine months.

Here are a few before and after photos to show the difference that Restylane treatments can make in your skin.

On another note, for those who are sensitive to animal bi-products and testing, Restylane is free from animal proteins and provides a truly natural way to achieve a fresh, youthful look.
