Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

Restylane® is free from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.

Restylane® requires no pretesting, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, St. John's wort, or high doses 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, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence.

Restylane® can be used on a number of areas on the face. We have successfully used Restylane® to correct nasolabial folds, creases under the eyes, and lines around the mouth. We have also used Restylane® to plump the lips and sharpen the lip border. Dr. Goldberg is nationally recognized leader in the use of hyalauronic acid filler and would be happy to discuss with you the various ways in which Restylane® can benefit you.

Yes. Restylane® has been used worldwide by dermatologists and plastic surgeons since 1996. Restylane® has a highly favorable safety profile. It's composed of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the human body. Restylane® is fully biocompatible. There is limited risk of animal-based disease transmission or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.

The most commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve in less than seven days.

Restylane® can deliver sustained improvement and results that can last up to six months

Treatments are typically scheduled at four to six month intervals. Dr. Goldberg and his staff would be happy to discuss the number of treatments needed depending on the areas you would like corrected.

Restylane® is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultrafine needle. The procedure is simple and convenient, and results are practically instantaneous. To optimize your comfort during the short procedure, a local anesthetic, applied topically or injected, can be used to minimize your discomfort.
