February 5, 2004--Medical expert available to talk about Restylane.

In December of 2003 the FDA approved Restylane, the newest agent for filling smile lines, enhancing lips, contouring facial features and reducing expression lines and folds around the face. Restylane is the first dermal filler made of crystal-clear gel that results in far longer duration of results than than the currently popular fillers such as Botox and collagen. Results from Restylane are expected to last for up to six months and sometimes more. The Restylane gel adds volume to minimize wrinkles and lines is injected right into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The results are immediate. The cost of treatment can range between $500 - $750 per injection.
