"You are only as old as you feel."
Great quote! But for or many people, their face doesn’t reflect the youthfulness that they feel. Over the years, sun exposure, natural aging and lifestyle factors can break down the collagen and elastin (the support structure of the skin) causing new wrinkles and lines to appear.

Restylane™ is a cosmetic dermal filler used to restore volume and fullness to the skin, improving the appearance of wrinkles and facial folds. The most common areas injected are the nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and the lips. Restylane™ can be used to restore lip volume lost over time or to enhance lips that have always been thin or asymmetric.

Restylane™ is a filler made of hyaluronic acid, a normal component of the skin that gives it support and volume. It is FDA-approved for use in improving the look of facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane™ is not derived from animal sources and therefore has very little risk of allergic reaction. It gives a soft, natural look and feel, and lasts an average of six months, considerably longer than other fillers used in the past.
 

What can I expect?
Some discomfort can be expected with filler injections, and depending on the site, Dr. Black may use topical anesthesia or dental blocks (injectable anesthesia) to make the treatment more comfortable. With Restylane™, mild to moderate swelling can occur and last for 1-2 days.

How are fillers like Restylane™ different from Botox?
Restylane™ and other fillers plump up lines and restore volume (mostly in the lower face), whereas Botox relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles (mostly in the upper face).
