What is Restylane®?
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.
What is Restylane made of?
A Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler
made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that
already exists in the human body and is
used to provide volume and fullness to the
skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a
crystal-clear gel called NASHA,™ or Non-
Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA
is biodegradable and fully biocompatible
with human hyaluronic acid.
Q How is Restylane different than other
hyaluronic acid-based products?
A Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acid based
products, Restylane is free from animal
proteins. This quality limits any risk of
animal-based disease transmission or allergic
reaction. Restylane contains trace amounts
of gram-positive bacterial proteins and
should not be used by patients with a history
of allergies to such material. Additionally,
Restylane has the highest concentration of
hyaluronic acid available in a dermal filler.
