Restylane® Dermal Filler in Baltimore, MD
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Restylane® injectable gel is a cosmetic filler that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.
The most common areas for Restylane treatment are the cheeks, chin, jawline, and the nasolabial folds. Restylane injectable gel is also FDA-approved, for those 21 and older, for enhancing the lips. According to manufacturer results can last 6-12 months, at which point the hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed by the body.
Benefits of Restylane Injectable Gel
When injected, Restylane can improve appearance of cheeks, jawline, chin, and nasolabial folds, making skin appear younger and look smoother. When used for lip enhancement, it makes the lips fuller and gives them more definition.
