Restylane is a clear (no color) gel that is based on a natural substance called hyaluronic acid. Restylane is biodegradable and non-animal in composition. For treatment, a very fine needle is used to inject tiny amounts of Restylane into the skin. The end result is typically instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe for the skin. Restylane has developed an excellent track record and some 'fame' as a safe way to smooth wrinkles and reshape lips by plumping up the skin.

The biggest advantage Restylane has over competing products such as Collagen is that it lasts as long as nine months compared with four months for those products. Safety should never be taken for granted, and Restylane passes these tests with flying colors. Restylane is made from biodegradable nonanimal hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturizer that gives the skin fullness. It is also a safe choice when compared to Collagen, which is made from bovine skin, and requires an allergy test about a month before an injection.
