Restylane Injections Overview
Posted on October 17th, 2011

Restylane injections have come on the scene in 2003, having reached popularity in the European markets for its ability to "plump" up the skin and create a more youthful appearance in the injected areas. Restylane in Los Angeles and Orange County is commonly administered by expert practitioners within medical spas, plastic surgery offices and by cosmetic dermatologists.

It is a safe and effective treatment with very high success rates and very few side effects.

Administered with a thin needle directly into the problem area, Restylane injections work by plumping up hollows and filling out wrinkles. Restylane attracts water molecules and expands the cells of the affected area outward, refreshing the appearance. While it takes a few days after the injection to achieve full effect, the results last for up to 6 months (while other dermal fillers fade a lot quicker).

Moreover, because Restylane is not extracted from animals, it can be absorbed by even the most sensitive system and does not require any allergy testing. It is approved by the FDA and commonly administered in the United States.

The cost of Resylane in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA is comparable to the cost of Botox injections, with a typical treatment costing between $200-$350, however the experience of the practitioner could impact the prices.

In its function, Resylane works very differently from Botox. As opposed to relaxing the muscle and preventing it from functioning (consequently eliminating the skin from creasing and creating wrinkles), Restylane fills the crease with water, thereby filling it and taking away the appearance of the skin fold.
