Restylane is a line of facial or dermal fillers, commonly used all over the world for years. In 2003, it was approved by the FDA for those above the age of 21 years old. With hyaluronic acid as its base, Restylane is injected inside the skin, from where it fills in the depressions forming the wrinkles and fine lines on the face as well as hands. It is also used for adding volume to sunken cheeks and also to enhance the size of lips.
WHAT IS RESTYLANE?
Whether you have developed wrinkles, age lines and creases, or you have lost volume in your cheeks, these can take a hit on your aesthetic appearance. The worst part is that they even make you look older than you are. Luckily we have solutions for these aesthetic problems, and the Restylane Bluffdale Med Spa provides may be just what you’re looking for to refresh your look.
The base of Restylane, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in our body, in our connective tissues. The acid stimulates the production of collagen, which is an important agent in keeping our skin supple, firm and smooth. As we age, our collagen production decreases, which results in the deteriorating condition of our skin, whether this may be in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, loss of volume, etc.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESTYLANE?
To target these unwanted skin conditions, there are different types of Restylane, each for a different purpose:
- Restylane Silk, which is used to correct wrinkles around the mouth, as well as for lip augmentation.
- Restylane Lyft, which is used for adding volume to your cheeks while improving the natural contours of your face. It is also used for getting rid of wrinkles in the hands.
- Restylane Defyne, which is aimed at getting rid of wrinkles and lines that develop around the nose and mouth, commonly known as laugh lines.
- Restylane Refyne, which is also used to correct wrinkles that form from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Restylane can also be used for getting rid of dark circles.
It is crucial that you consult with your doctor first and consider all options and other factors so that you may choose the best Restylane treatment for you.
