Restylane
Restylane is a product made by the Swedish Company
Q-Med Esthetics made of stabilized sterile hyaluronic
acid for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, for
enhancing lips and filling acne scars. It has been
used in Europe for years and has been recently
approved by the FDA for treatment in the United
States. Hyaluronic acid is a material found in the mid
portion of the skin in which collagen and elastin sit
and which helps to give skin its substance and
integrity and which is diminished in the aging
process. Restylane is a non-animal derived gel like
substance and does not need any allergy tests before
treatment, unlike collagen and has been found to last
6-8 months on average.

Collagen is a natural substance produced by the skin for structuring.
Inevitably, collagen deteriorates with age. Fine lines and wrinkles are often
sufficiently treated with the injection of collagen. It is also a great choice for
lip augmentation and repair of acne scars.
