Restylane is one of the most popular drugs for contouring. To date, more than 20 million procedures have been performed using this filler.
The manufacturer of the drug is the Q-Med laboratory (Switzerland).
The safety of biogel is confirmed by numerous clinical studies and meets international quality standards.
Due to the fact that the main component of Restylane is hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of our skin, this filler is not rejected by the body and does not cause allergic reactions. Note that in this case it is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.
Restylane fillers are the leaders in anti-aging injections
Lack of hyaluronic acid (read about what it is here), destruction of collagen and elastin fibers has a very sad effect on the appearance of our skin . Dryness, dullness, wrinkles, etc. – the main symptoms of skin aging (details here ). There is no way to put up with this state of affairs!
At the moment, “beauty injections”—injections with fillers—have become widespread (read about fillers here ). With their help, they fill the resulting voids in the subcutaneous tissues, returning volume, which makes it possible to tighten the skin, and “pushing out” wrinkles, which leads to a “smoothing” of the face.
Subcutaneous injections have been used for several decades. One of the most popular fillers in the USA and Europe is the Restylane series fillers. What are their advantages?
How is the procedure done?
The cosmetologist’s manipulations take place in stages:
- Removing cosmetics from facial skin;
- Treating work areas with an antiseptic;
- Application of anesthetic (if necessary);
- Injecting a doctor-selected dose of the drug under the skin into predetermined points with a thin needle.
After Restylane enters the dermis, hyaluronic acid accumulates water molecules, smoothing the skin and making it elastic, adding volume. Minor reactions in the form of redness, swelling, and bruising are possible. They will all disappear within 1 week.
Why Restylane fillers are better than existing analogues (Restylane)
The creation of Restylane line products is based on knowledge of the processes occurring in the skin. Their action is based on the use of the unique qualities of hyaluronic acid. These fillers include stabilized hyaluronic acid of natural non-animal origin . What does this give?
What is natural is not dangerous
First of all, safety. Being an absolutely natural component of the human body, the introduced hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions . Moreover, it is capable of biodegradation, i.e. After some time, it disintegrates on its own and is excreted from the body. Thus, Restylane fillers are harmless and do not require additional interventions to remove previously injected substances.
The safety of these products is confirmed by appropriate certificates from the FDA, an agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services. But a more reliable recommendation is many years of experience in using Restylane fillers in cosmetology. They have been used since 1996 in more than 75 countries around the world. Over a 20-year period, approximately 12 million successful anti-aging procedures were performed. The fact that for such a long period of time these drugs not only did not receive a negative expert assessment, but are still leaders in this field of aesthetic cosmetology, testifies to their mild and delicate effect, which does not pose a threat to the patient’s health.
Opportunities for transformation
A very important property of the Restylane series of drugs is their effectiveness . Subcutaneous administration of biogel solves several problems at once:
- Hyaluronic acid molecules gradually attract water, which moisturizes the skin and also creates additional volume at the injection sites.
- An increase in volume, and therefore tightening of the skin, is also achieved due to the thick consistency of the gel itself - the filler. Therefore, the first results will be noticeable almost immediately.
- The introduction of filler can activate the body's production of its own collagen and elastin, which increases skin tone and improves its general condition.
As a result, improvement in skin condition occurs in different directions simultaneously. This explains the wide range of applications of Restylane fillers in corrective cosmetology for:
- changes in lip volume;
- smoothing wrinkles and interbrow or nasolabial folds;
- enlargement of the chin, cheekbones;
- restoration of scars and scars;
- nose enhancements;
- increasing skin hydration and tone, restoring facial contours.
Contraindications
Beauty injections should not be used if the patient is taking immunosuppressants, aspirin or other blood thinning drugs.
Contraindications also include:
- allergy to hyaluronic acid;
- blood related diseases;
- skin diseases - infectious, inflammatory, tumors, growths in the injection area;
- oncological, autoimmune and mental diseases;
- hypersensitivity;
- herpes;
- fear of injections;
- recent aggressive cosmetic procedures (less than 2 weeks);
- if there is already silicone or other permanent implants at the correction site;
- infectious diseases, as well as chronic diseases in the acute stage.
Attention! There is also no experience testing Restylane on pregnant and nursing mothers, so the drug is also not recommended for use in this category of people.
Let it last longer!
The main distinguishing property of Restylane products from similar fillers with hyaluronic acid is the duration of the effect obtained . The main biogels from this series have a high density, which makes the process of their disintegration longer.
In addition, the “highlight” is the use of the unique NASHA™ technology, which is patented by the manufacturer of Restylane products - the Swedish cosmetic center Q-Med (part of the Galderma concern). This development is aimed at increasing the period of breakdown of HA molecules.
In the human body this takes about two days. Thanks to an innovative method, Restylane preparations contain a stabilized form of hyaluronic acid. Special “cross-link molecules” are inserted into the structure of its molecules, which firmly connect the acid chains together. Thus, hyaluronic acid can “live” in the dermal tissues from six months to one and a half years.
The surprises don't end there
Restylane series preparations also have other advantages characteristic of hyaluronic fillers:
- Lack of rehabilitation period . According to many experts, almost immediately after the procedure using these products, you can continue to do your daily activities.
- Compatibility. Restylane series fillers do not conflict with other agents and anti-aging procedures. After such injections, with a short break, you can perform chemical peeling, photorejuvenation, Botox or Dysport. In each case, the decision on additional manipulations should be made by a specialist.
- Prolongation of the result. This is possible by performing additional corrective injections with the Restylane line of drugs, without even waiting for the previously administered substance to be completely broken down in the body.

"Pitfalls" of using Restylane fillers
Despite the large number of positive aspects in the use of drugs from the Restylane series, some problems are possible when using them.
Contraindications and side effects
First of all, you need to remember the contraindications:
- pregnancy, lactation;
- problems with blood clotting;
- allergy to the components of the drug;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- diabetes mellitus, autoimmune, infectious, cancer and colds;
- exacerbation of herpes;
- taking certain medications.
The most common side effects are:
- redness;
- swelling and swelling;
- painful sensations;
- itching
In most cases, such problems disappear on their own within the first week after the procedure. However, more serious situations also arise.
With sensitive skin, hyperpigmentation may occur , which disappears after about a month.
Some patients noted the appearance of dense papules at the injection site, and sometimes even entire furrows along the line of drug administration. There are complaints about the formation of persistent seals, which are noticeable when palpated or under a certain direction of light. The reasons for this may be different:
- inexperience of the cosmetologist;
- incorrectly performed procedure;
- no process of kneading the injected gel;
- characteristics of the patient’s body;
- using an expired product.
To avoid serious side effects, it is recommended to pay special attention to the choice of clinic and specialist for the procedure. Also, it is always necessary to demand to see the drug that will be used, and then provide an empty bottle.
The actions of the patient himself may also be to blame for such complications. It must be remembered that in the first days after injections, it is not advisable to apply cosmetics to the treated area . During this period, you should avoid any type of massage.
Cosmetologists point out the need to take breaks between the following anti-aging procedures. “Beauty injections” with other drugs can be done two weeks after using Restylane fillers. It is better to postpone cosmetic procedures for three weeks.
Dissatisfaction with the result
We often encounter complaints from patients about the lack of a noticeable effect. It is important to consider here that the final result will form two to three weeks after the injections.
It is important to know! Restylane series preparations are effective when used on young and mature skin . In patients over 40 years of age, additional Botox injections are recommended. After reaching 50 years of age, the results of filler injections are negligible.
There are also complaints about the short period of action of the drug given its high price. A high level of metabolism in the body can be a provocateur for the rapid resorption of fillers. In addition, the acceleration of the breakdown of hyaluronic acid is caused by:
- visiting a sauna, bathhouse, solarium;
- intense physical activity;
- taking medications that accelerate metabolism in the body;
- taking weight loss products;
- alcohol abuse or smoking;
- unfavorable environmental conditions.
It must be remembered that the photorejuvenation procedure will also accelerate the biodegradation of the filler .
Knowledge about these nuances may be useful if the patient wants to quickly get rid of excess volumes obtained after filler injections. There is also a medicinal way to eliminate the consequences of the administration of drugs from the Restylane series using the enzyme hyaluronidase. However, this is not always effective.
Due to the high quality of fillers in this line, especially the denser types, it is not easy to get rid of the results of the procedure in a short time. A set of measures may be required, which must be carried out by a specialist.

In this review, Restylane is recommended by a cosmetologist in order to create a clear lip contour. Although he admits that he doesn’t really like this line.
The cosmetologist in this review considers Restylane Vital Light and Vital to be ideal preparations for biorevitalization. And he notes that they are expensive, so for lovers of cheaper gels he recommends other fillers.
