Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring sugar found in your body which combines with the water in your skin to instantly restore lost volume and reduce lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic injections have also been shown to stimulate collagen production.

Restylane Treatment AreasTreatment Areas

Let’s face it: everyone ages. It’s not that we want to look 18 again, but we all want to look our best. Restylane® is a nonsurgical solution that adds volume to the facial tissue. The effect of adding volume could benefit many of your facial features in the following ways:

Eye Area

Your eyes often show the first signs of aging. Filling lost volume around your eyes can help address the sunken look or dark circles you may have around the eyes, which may make you look tired. You can also add volume and plumpness to sagging eyebrows.

Cheeks

Full cheeks and well-defined facial contours are a chatacteristic of a youthful face. But your face may sink and sag as you age, giving cheeks a flattened or sunken appearance. Volume loss may also create "smile" lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Adding volume to the cheeks can reduce nasolabial folds and restore your skin contour to help attain a more youthful appearance.

Lips

Lips may become less plump with age, shrinking and losing form and proportion. Lines may appear along their edges, and the pleasing shape we call "Cupid’s bow" fades. Restylane® helps enhance the border and definition, as well as fullness and pouting of the lips.

Chin and Jaw

Lost volume in the chin and jaw area may lead to sagging and less support for skin under the jaw. A smoother jawline can be achieved by adding volume to the chin area.
