RomiTal offers the latest non-surgical procedures for wrinkles removal
including injections of dermal fillers, such as Restylane®. We guarantee
safety and high quality of each procedure.
What is Restylane®?
Restylane® (Q-med, Sweden) is a safe natural dermal filler made of hyaluronic
acid, a substance that exists in the human body. It is a non-animal
crystal-clear gel that is used for facial wrinkles, folds and other skin
imperfections. Hyaluronic acid that is produced by some body tissues gives
skin its volume and fullness. Restylane®’s action is based on this natural
body function and has proven to deliver visible and long-lasting results.
Restylane® is a unique biocompatible dermal filler. Due to its origin the
product naturally integrates into the tissue and maintains shape using the
body’s own moisture.
Where should it be used?
In December 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use
of Restylane® for the treatment of facial wrinkles. It is used for the
correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds (e.g. naso-labial folds),
especially those where botulinum toxin wears off too fast. Restylane® is also
a good solution for reducing the appearance of lines around the mouth; lip and
facial contouring.
Precautions
Even though Restylane® itself is safe, it is necessary to follow some
precautions to reduce side effects of the procedure, such as bruising or
bleeding. One week prior to treatment avoid using aspirin, high doses of
Vitamin E and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as
ibuprofen. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you shouldn't use
Restylane®.
Procedure
Restylane® is injected right under the skin using fine gauge needles with
local anaesthetic in sensitive areas. A treatment session is performed in
the outpatient settings and takes up to 30 minutes. The result can be seen
immediately and lasts for 6-8 months depending on the natural absorption of
the body. After this period the follow-up injections can be made.
Side effects and recovery
Side effects of Restylane® treatment are minimal and do not necessarily
appear. However as with any cosmetic procedure side effects may include
reactions at the site of injection such as bruising, redness, pain, itching,
tenderness and swelling. However these symptoms should not last longer than
one week. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any
redness or swelling disappear.
