From Dr. Gross

Restylane® is a new generation of what is known as filler products, substances used to correct facial lines and folds and to plump and reshape the lips. There are two important characteristics of this product over similar products that have previously been found in the marketplace. It is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that exists naturally in the body, making it safe and completely biodegradable. “The additional difference is that the effects are more long lasting, usually 6-9 months,” says Dr. Gross.

Restylane® is used to restore fill and eradicate lines on the face. A good example of its use is in the correction of lines that extend from the nose downward toward the mouth, which tend to become more pronounced with age. It is also effective in restoring volume and shape to the lips, and at the same time softening lip lines. A tiered treatment for lip lines and lip enhancement is frequently used by Dr. Gross as combination treatment.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is the difference between Restylane® and Botox®?
The two products have completely different actions. Botox® relaxes tiny facial muscles, causing lines in certain areas to diminish or disappear. Restylane® actually fills lines, restoring the natural contour of the face. It is not unusual for individuals to utilize both treatments to restore a youthful look to the face in a rather dramatic way.

Can I have an allergic reaction to Restylane®?
Restylane® is non animal based and therefore requires no skin testing. This eliminates any possibility of allergic reaction.

What are the side effects?
The only side effects that can occur are temporary redness and slight swelling at the site of injection. This disappears in a short period of time.

Will I feel any pain?
Restylane® is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts with an ultra fine needle. A topical anesthetic may be used when injecting facial lines and folds. When used to enhance the lips, a local anesthetic, similar to that used by a dentist, is administered so that the procedure is pain free

How long do the effects of Restylane® last?
“The additional difference is that the effects are more long lasting, usually 6-9 months,” says Dr. Gross.
