Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar that keeps our skin hydrated and creates volume through its ability to bind water molecules. The Restylane range of products is designed to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid.
However, as we age, our bodies make less hyaluronic acid. Our skin begins to sag and looks thinner, losing its radiance and youthful appearance. Injecting hyaluronic acid can help reduce the visible signs of ageing.
The Restylane range utilizes two technologies to stabilize hyaluronic acid into a gel form. When injected, it adds volume to smooth wrinkles and enhance facial balance where needed.
