About Restylane Procedure
This hyaluronic acid-based product is specially designed to add plumpness to the lines between the nose and the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds), lips, depressions below the outer corners of the mouth (marionette lines), and facial wrinkles and folds. The injections are comfortably performed after a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated 30 minutes prior to the procedure. Restylane’s youthful fullness typically lasts 6–12 months in most patients.
Pre-treatment recommendations:
