Q Is Restylane® safe?

A Yes. Restylane has been used by dermatologists

and plastic surgeons since 1996

worldwide. There is limited risk of animalbased

disease transmission or allergic

reaction. Restylane is fully biocompatible

and allergy testing is not required. Restylane

contains trace amounts of gram-positive

bacterial proteins and should not be used by

patients with a history of allergies to such

material. After your treatment, you might

have some redness or swelling. This will normally

last less than seven days. Sunbathing

and cold outdoor activities should be avoided

until any redness or swelling disappear. If

you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18,

you shouldn’t use Restylane.

Q Can Restylane be used anywhere

on the face?

A Restylane has been used in more than 1.5

million treatments in over 60 countries to

correct a variety of wrinkles. In the U.S. the

FDA has approved Restylane for wrinkles

and folds like the ones from the nose to

the corners of the mouth. Your doctor will

consult with you prior to your injection

regarding common treatment areas.

Q How long does Restylane last?

A Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting

results. Studies have shown that Restylane

effects generally last for about six months1.

Restylane’s stabilization technology helps

maintain the cosmetic effect until the

injected material is nearly gone.
