Mechanism

Restylane is a gel of Hyaluronic Acid produced by germs and used for treating facial rumple and folds. The body normally produces Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is what gives skin its volume and fullness. When Restylane is injected into wrinkled skin it adds fullness and reduces the prominence of the wrinkles in the previously wrinkled area. Hyaluronic acid also attracts and binds water, and this also helps maintain fullness in the area of injection. The benefit of Hyaluronic acid may last for six months or longer. The FDA permitted Restylane in December 2003.
