Overview Restylane®
Overview
Restylane is an injectable gel used to smooth out facial wrinkles or to add volume to the lips. It is made from hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occuring complex sugar found in all living things. Most commonly Restylane is used to fill deep lines in the nasolabial region or to enhance the appearance of the lips. These injections are performed in the office by Dr. Gallego. Unlike collagen injections, there is no need for skin testing.
