Before (actual patient)	After (actual patient)

Restylane® is a filler that lasts approximately twice as long as collagen and does not require any prior skin allergy testing -- so you can undergo this simple procedure on your first visit. Dr. Dannaker can also offer advanced injection techniques such as an Instant Cheek Lift or injection into the brow to create arching. As a cheek lift procedure, Restylane® is injected under the cheeks to fill in hollowing around the eyes. The effect is immediate and frequently dramatic, and often provides the sort of cheek lift that previously only could be accomplished with surgery. Restylane® is also ideal for quick and easy correction of skin folds around the nose as well as for lip enhancement.

More information about Restylane®:
Achieving the look you desire is as easy as it is quick. The result is instantaneous. No previous skin test is needed, which means that you can have the treatment immediately. The session often takes less than thirty minutes. The time differs somewhat depending on the correction you want to have performed. During treatment, Restylane® is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. When injected into the skin, Restylane® produces volume that smoothes the wrinkle or fold, shapes the facial contour or enhances the lips in a natural way. The result is immediate. The method of injecting Restylane® is fast and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.

Pain Reduction
For wrinkle treatments, pain relief is not required by all patients; however it can be easily arranged at your request. Prior to your procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area to be treated. For enhanced comfort, many choose to have a local anaesthetic injection.

After Treatment
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect a slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The discomfort is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. When it comes to lip augmentation, the swelling may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week. During this time, the lips can look somewhat uneven. This means that the result directly after the treatment should not be regarded as the final result. If the discomfort continues or if other reactions occur, you should always contact your practitioner.

A touch-up treatment within 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment may be necessary to achieve an optimal correction.

In charge of your looks
As your face is constantly changing, beauty is best maintained by evaluating the need for further treatment from time to time. With Restylane®, you are always in charge of your looks. With Restylane®, you always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. The treatment can be repeated as often as you like.

Long-lasting, but not permanent
One of the great advantages of Restylane® is that it is long-lasting, but not permanent. Unlike permanent treatments or implants, Restylane® always leaves you with the option of re-evaluating your needs when the initial effect has worn off. With Restylane®, you will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. A follow-up can be performed at any time you like after the previous treatment.

Non-animal
As Restylane® is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs. Unlike some other injectable products for wrinkle treatment and lip enhancement (for example collagen made from cow hide and hyaluronic acid made from rooster combs), Restylane® is a totally non-animal product. This means that there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.

Gentle and safe
Restylane® is a safe product, made of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the body. Restylane® was the first CE-approved, non-animal, stabilized, injectable hyaluronic acid for aesthetic use. As it is free from animal substances, the risk of transmitting diseases from other species is completely eliminated. To date, more than a million treatments have successfully been carried out with Restylane® in more than 60 countries worldwide.
