 What is Restylane®? (click link) is a natural, cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. It is made of natural hyaluronic acid which already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® (click link) is a clear gel called NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) that is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.

To maximize comfort, an anesthetic block may be administered. Dr. Gray feels it is very important to reduce or eliminate any discomfort during Restylane treatments.
While others may charge you for the comfort of an anesthetic block, it is included with your treatment at MD Spa.
How many treatments are required?
Multiple treatments may be necessary to optimize results. Two to four weeks after the first treatment is administered, a touch-up treatment may be required to achieve the desired results. The treatment wears off after six to twelve months and may be repeated to continue the effect.
Is Restylane® safe?
Restylane® (click link)is FDA approved and is a safe product because hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and therefore dissolves naturally in the body's tissues.
Are there any possible side effects?
Possible side effects include swelling, redness and, in some cases, bruising. Generally these side effects disappear within a couple of days. These potential side effects are non-threatening.
Will there be any downtime?
There is generally no downtime. The treatment session takes about thirty minutes to perform.
What is the advantage of Restylane® over other treatments?
The advantage of Restylane® (click link)over other treatments is that the crystal-clear gel is completely natural so it dissolves in the human body. It is also a non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid, which means that it causes less allergic reactions than animal-based treatments. No allergy testing is required before use.
What are the results?
The final result leaves facial features looking healthy, youthful and fuller.
What can be expected post-treatment?
On some occasions, there is slight redness or swelling. This temporary discomfort lasts two or three days. Your normal routine can be resumed immediately.
How soon will results appear?
Your results appear after any swelling diminishes.
How long does Restylane® last?
Restylane® (click link) lasts six to twelve months. Factors such as age, skin type and daily activities can influence how long the results last.
What are the alternative treatments?
There is an assortment of other treatments including collagen creams, fat injections and chemical peels, but Restylane® (click link)is an excellent choice because of its natural injectable formula.
Is additional treatment necessary?
Additional treatment is necessary to keep the look persistent. In six months, the hyaluronic acid will begin to fade, and new treatment can be injected to maintain the desired results.
