Restylane (Botox alternative) : Restylane Injections Review

Restylane Vital is the name of a treatment for wrinkles in the facial skin. It is a safer alternative to Botox injections or collagen injections, and Restylane does not contain animal products. The fact that there are no animal based ingredients in Restylane, makes that there is no need for allergy testing. This is a time saver in the wrinkle treatment. Restylane is commonly used to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and reshaping or filling the lips. See below for info on pricing and discounts at several online dermatology shops. (Costs are ranging from $ 140 or £90, to well over $400 or £250. It is sometimes referred to as 'QMED's Restylin Skin' and popular by people looking for a non surgical facelift).

Restylane was created by QMed. QMed is pharmaceutical company based in Sweden. It was founded in 1996 and now the Restylane treatment is used in over seventy countries. In 2003 the Restylane treatment and the product was approved by the FDA as a wrinkle reducer. And just recently in October 2008 there was the news that the FDA approved of the PMA Supplement for Restylane (getting an 18 month effect on patients with repeat treatment). For news on the Hyaluronidase effects in a new study, see below). The Company Medicis Aesthetics holds the only license to sell Restylane in the US. Most popular is this product in Sweden and Norway, followed by USA and Australian customers. In Denmark, Finland and Canada some magazines have covered it, as well as here in the UK and in Ireland.

QMed uses an exclusive process and holds a patent over that process to create the basic ingredient, hyaluronic acid, in Restalin products. Hyaluronic acid, naturally found in our body's connective skin tissue, provides lubricant to the body's joints and it plays a major role in the hydrating of the skin. When injected into the skin, Restylane adds more of these natural acids which add moisture to plump up the skin and wrinkles. So Restylane for lips is a well suited solution).

Restylane Vital as a wrinkle reducer, has been an alternative anti-aging treatment since 1996. Natural and without animal proteins, Restylane is bio-compatible and bio-degradable, which means a low risk for side effects and skin irritations. The results last up to half a year and at the official website you may find a reward program. The 'Restylane Rewards' program gives significant and discounted offers to frequent patients.

Restylane Vital may not be as long lasting as compared to other anti-wrinkle injection treatments. It does a doctor appointment and the Restylane cost of £350 ($500) or more per injection is something you should consider. A possible side effect from the injection includes a swollen appearance at the injection site that may last for a few days after treatment. Restylan is not recommended for people with memory related problems. Find first hand customer reviews refer to the so called 'Restylene effects', and the 'Restalyne filler effects'. The 'Restylane Touch' gets raving customer reviews. It has 5 times smaller particles which also means it fades faster. Late September it was only available in Canada. But your dermatologist can usually get it. Some users are comparing this Restylane treatment with the use of Botox, Emla Cream, Thermage and Shishido skin care, and even the Dremu oil. Many of these have reviews posted here.

Here at AntiAgings.org.uk customers we see customer testimonials both good and not so good in qualifying this Restilane treatment. Below you can compare some other injectable wrinkle fillers as : Juvaderm / Hydrafill, Reyoungel dermal filler, Syringe, Radiesse, Beautical, Varioderm, Revanesse Ultra or Redexis, containing the Hyaluronic acid. Other treatments you could compare with are Termage, Sculptra. They all are facial dermal fillers applied to reduce facial wrinkles, forehead wrinkles or frown fillers (see the Restylane pictures before and after : look up through the search box).

If you decide on injections for wrinkle reducing and anti-aging treatment, using a product that contains what our body naturally produces seems to be the way to go. Keep in mind, the injections themselves can be quite painful, unless you use a nerve blocker, which is another injection, applied prior to the start of the treatment. Alternative topical wrinkle treatments could save you time and money, but a growing number of people agree that Resylane, however is considered a great supplement to your skin care routine.  

Restylane alternatives are listed in the popular search results. Visit our website AntiAgings.org.uk soon again. From fall on, I am publishing new articles on recent development on anti aging research and skin care products. A new website section dedicated to reviews on "Face Care" will launch in a few weeks.
 

Tip : try to search for giveaways & samples of skin care creams. Many organic make up samples available.
