Restylane®

Restylane® is an injectable soft tissue filler which effectively provides volume and fullness to the skin. This particular filler is typically used for lip augmentation and to diminish wrinkles or acne scars. The product is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid - a natural substance that already exists in the human body. This substance is biocompatible and biodegradable, which means it is safe for the body, and it will be harmlessly absorbed by the body over time.

Treatment involves injecting a small amount of Restylane just underneath the wrinkle or skin depression. The treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes, with immediate results which typically last 6 months or more. Restylane costs in Dallas will vary, depending on how much is needed for the desired effect.
