In the modern beauty industry, contour plastic is a very popular procedure that allows you to restore youth and health to the skin. Among the many drugs, one of the most effective was the Restylane filler. What is it, consider further.
According to the manufacturer of the famous drug, more than 10 million procedures with Restylane have already been performed worldwide. The Swedish company Q-Med, which is part of the huge Galderma concern, produces anti-aging products. She justifiably holds a leading position among companies specializing in aesthetic cosmetology.
Restylane - what is it
Restylane is a natural medicine based on hyaluronic acid. The tool is widely used in cosmetology to restore youthful skin. Subcutaneous administration of a miraculous biogel allows skin cells to retain water molecules, restoring its health and beauty.
By consistency, Restylane is a gel substance. According to the technique of administration, the drug is a filler.
Modern women no longer try to mask imperfections with cosmetics. Injection fillers do a great job with complex flaws.
Using the famous drug, cosmetologists manage to remove the signs of age-related changes in their patients: eliminate wrinkles and nasolabial folds, correct the shape of the face, and change the shape of the lips.
The composition of Restylane
Like other effective fillers, Restylane is based on stabilized hyaluronic acid. The fact is that it is the lack of this valuable substance that causes aging and dehydration of the skin.
So, the product contains 20 mg of hyaluronic acid, 9 mg of sodium chloride, 0.3 mg of phosphate buffer, 1 ml of water for injection.
Restylane is characterized by a unique stabilization process. The polysaccharides in its composition undergo chemical changes by only 0.5-1%, which allows them to maintain their active structure. This feature determines the high biological compatibility of the drug with the structure of the dermis. It should be noted that similar fillers made on the basis of hyaluronic acid contain polysaccharides, the modification of molecules of which reaches 20%.
The principle of the filler
Hyaluronic acid contained in the drug enters the dermis and attracts water molecules. The resulting elastic joints tightly fill the space between the wrinkles. The grooves and folds of the skin are smoothed.
Innovative technologies allow modern scientists to create very flexible chains of hyaluronic acid molecules. They have an excellent “filling” action, which underlies all contour plastics.
As the human body ages, the amount of hyaluronic acid contained in it decreases. As you know, it is the main supplier of water and nutrients to cells. Acid also plays a paramount role in the synthesis of elastin and collagen, the healing of wounds and cracks.
Restylane, according to the manufacturer, has a biodegradable effect. The substances that make up the gel filler completely leave the body, giving excellent anti-aging results.
Types of injectable anti-aging drugs
Beauticians use Restylane fillers of a certain consistency to solve various skin problems. So, the following types of dermal filler exist:
- One of the most commonly used fillers is considered Restylane. What it is? A product that is traditionally used to eliminate wrinkles and wrinkles of medium complexity.
- To get rid of superficial dermal imperfections or flaws on the thin skin of the face, it is enough to use the Restylane Touch.
- The thick filler “Perline” is highly viscous. The tool shows excellent effectiveness in the fight against serious skin defects. Beauticians opt for this drug when it is necessary to eliminate deep wrinkles, to restore the clarity of the face.
- Restylane Lipp is recommended for patients who want to put their lips in order, give them volume, adjust their shape.
- Restylane Vital filler is used for general rejuvenation of tired skin. However, it is used both for aging skin with noticeable signs of aging, and for young but dehydrated.
- Restylane Vital Light is used as a prophylactic against early aging.
- The chin area and oval of the face are adjusted mainly with the help of the Restylane SabKyu filler.
The advantages of the injectable drug Restylane
A huge number of women opt for this particular filler. The reason for this was its many advantages:
- long-lasting effect from contouring (can last up to one year);
- as a result of using Restylane, allergic reactions are very rare;
- high biocompatibility of the drug;
- the manufacturer uses hyaluronic acid obtained by the method of bacterial synthesis;
- the effect of the procedure can be evaluated after seven days;
- duration of the procedure (manipulation takes from 15 to 30 minutes).
Procedure
Before prescribing Restylane injection, the cosmetologist must make sure that there are no contraindications. He carefully studies the characteristics of the patient's body, which makes it possible to prevent possible complications.
The procedure begins with anesthesia. Then only Restylane is introduced. Reviews of cosmetologists indicate that anesthesia can significantly reduce discomfort. In this case, the gel filler is introduced into the problem area very easily. If necessary, a cosmetologist before the introduction of the drug provides a light massage. Restylane is introduced using a thin needle, evenly distributed.
Side effect
As the reviews show, after the procedure using Restylane, the following side effects may occur:
- pain and itching at the injection site;
- redness
- swelling;
- wrinkling of the skin.
As a rule, the negative effects disappear after a few days if the gel filler was introduced into the skin of the face. If we are talking about lips, then for the disappearance of negative effects, it may take a little longer - a maximum of a week. This is how Restylane works. A photo of the face after using the filler confirms the extremely high effectiveness of the drug.
Contraindications
Using Restylane (the manufacturer pays special attention to this) is not always possible. So, traditional contour plasty with this drug cannot be done in the following cases:
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- after chemical peeling, laser treatment or dermabrasion;
- in the presence of inflammatory elements on the skin;
- if there are particles of implants in the zone of the alleged injection that did not have time to resolve.
Beautician Tips
Immediately after the injection, cosmetologists recommend that you follow some rules:
- the skin can not be overheated and supercool;
- if possible, do not use cosmetics;
- avoid strong physical exertion;
- stop drinking alcohol for a week.
Warnings
Specialists pay special attention to the fact that the Restylane filler, the composition of which we examined above, is used exclusively as an intradermal implant. The syringe can be used only once, without re-sterilization.
Beauticians note that the drug is strictly forbidden to enter into the vessels, over a dose, and also mix with other fillers.
Restylane or Yuviderm - which is better?
For those who decided on contouring, the question often arises: "Which filler to choose?" Only a professional cosmetologist, having familiarized yourself with your problems, will be able to advise the best option for you.
Earlier, we examined the Restylane gel remedy (what it is, now it’s clear). The characteristics of this drug and Juviderm are slightly different. These two popular products are gel fillers. Their effectiveness in correcting natural and age-related imperfections is noted by many experts.
The basis of the preparations is synthetic hyaluronic acid. They differ in auxiliary components. Beauticians do not recommend injections with Restylane and Juviderm with an interval of less than 6 months. Note that we are talking about processing the same area of the skin.
Filler "Yuviderm"
Consider the features of the drug "Yuviderm". The gel filler is produced by the American company Allergan. According to the manufacturer, the tool solves many problems, while being safe and painless. The main advantage of an injection is a prolonged result. The effect of the drug will last about 18 months.
The painlessness of the procedure is achieved due to the presence in the formula of the drug lidocaine. Yuviderm perfectly copes with enlarged pores, facial and deep wrinkles, as well as with dullness and lethargy of the skin. Many women to the question: “What is better than Restylane?” answer: "Yuviderm."
But back to Restylane.
Restoreline Filler Biorevitalization: Effect of the Procedure
In case of signs of wilting of the clients caused by hyaluronic acid deficiency, cosmetologists advise biorevitalization. Microinjection into the problem area stimulates the dermis cells to self-regulation. In other words, the procedure awakens the internal resources of the skin.
Biorevitalization is carried out by the Restylane Vital or Restylane Vital Light filler. The patient receives a natural, but fairly persistent anti-aging result. After the procedure, the skin becomes more elastic, smooth and nourished. Injection allows you to get rid of enlarged pores, pigmentation and rosacea.
Price of Restylane injection
The cost of the rejuvenation procedure with a filler depends not only on the price of the drug. Important factors are the complexity of the particular case and the pricing policy of the clinic. On average, the cost of an injection ranges from 10 thousand rubles. In some centers, Restylane anti-aging drug can be purchased at a special discount.
