Restylane can be used alone or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as laser skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, facial surgery or Diamond Wire.

Q. How often should Restylane treatments be done?

A. Treatments are typically scheduled twice a year. Having a touch-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated may enhance the lasting effect.

Q. What should patients do prior to treatment?

A. Restylane requires no pretesting, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort, or high does of vitamin E supplements prior to treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, discuss this with your Restylane Specialist at The Centre, P.C. You may be prescribed a medication to minimize recurrence.

Q. How is Restylane different from BOTOX® Cosmetic?

A. Restylane is a natural cosmetic filler. In contrast, BOTOX® is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Many patients have been very pleased after receiving treatment with both products.

Q. How is Restylane different from bovine collagen?

A. Bovine collagen is derived from animals (cows) and requires an allergy test. Restylane can be administered immediately - no waiting is required.
