Restylane® is the most popular soft tissue filler today. Both work well for lip augmentation, and to smooth out small wrinkles around the mouth and lips. Skin is made up of a combination of collagen proteins, elastic fibers, and a substrate called hyaluronic acid. These unfortunately decline as we age, and the skin loses its fullness. The injectable fillers are designed to replace the components that we lose as we age.
Restylane® is a form of hyaluronic acid, the main non-protein substrate of skin. It is a man-made, non animal product, purified into a clear gel. It has been used in Europe since 1996 and in the U.S. since 2004. It is designed to last approximately twice as long as collagen.
