What are the benefits of treatment with this product?

Restylane is an FDA-approved filler indicated to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. This implantable gel is made of hyaluronic acid and is stabilized using proprietary technology that achieves a wide range of gel textures with the same concentration of hyaluronic acid. Since Restylane Refyne uses less free hyaluronic acid than other fillers, there is less chance of swelling. Restylane produces very natural results, with a study showing that it maintains movement and expressions after treatment. Additionally, Restylane is compatible with added lidocaine for numbing effect, enhancing your patient’s comfort.

How does it work?

Restylane is produced from hyaluronic acid that is made by bacterial fermentation, not from animals. The makers of Restylane use Optimal Balance Technology™ to vary the levels of cross-linking in their different products as well as the particle sizes. This helps to create a filler that lasts longer before breaking down within the skin as well as products that have different applications depending on their softness. After cross-linking their hyaluronic acid, the makers of Restylane pass the gel through different sieve sizes to get their five different product types.

What are the ingredients?

• Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid 20mg/milliliter
• Lidocaine Hydrochloride 3mg/milliliter
• Physiological Buffer pH 7 qs ad 1 milliliter.

How to inject/administer this product:

Before beginning treatment, brief your patients on the expected results, precautions that need to be taken, and possible unintended effects. To administer the treatment, either use the sterile needle supplied, or if preferred, a blunt cannula (size 27G) may be used instead. Assemble and prepare the syringe and needle (or cannula) according to instructions. Sterilize the planned area to be treated with an appropriate disinfectant prior to injection. Inject the product using the technique appropriate to the treatment type e.g. serial puncture, linear threading, or cross-hatching. After the injection, gently massage the treated area to distribute the product evenly.
