Restylane

Restylane is a synthetic substance that mimics the naturally occurring gel like material in the deeper layers of the skin – hyaluronic acid (a so called ground substance). It is injected into finer wrinkles often around the lower brow and mouth but is also used in lip enhancement. It has a life of around six months and injections usually therefore need to be repeated. There is a risk of around 1:500 of reactions to the injection.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a substance used to enhance the deeper soft tissues of the face. It is similar in its formulation to some types of dissolvable suture material. It requires two injections separated by around 5 weeks and usually lasts around 18 months. Like Restylane, there is a small risk of reaction to the injected material.

View before and after photos to get a general idea of what other patient’s outcomes were after surgery. This is no guarantee you will have similar results, even if you have a similar body. Results will vary by individual patient and many factors impact your results. Remember that every patient is unique and every surgery has unique aspects. Therefore, no two surgical procedures, or rejuvenation treatments, will get the exact same results.
