Restylane is  a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that can be used to bring back volume and fullness, filling in wrinkles and smoothing the skin. It's most commonly used for wrinkles and folds (like nasolabial folds, aka smile lines), lips, cheeks (off label), and underneath eyes for dark circles (also off label). Restylane is safe and doesn't require allergy testing, since it's made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, and it binds with water. When this is injected, the attraction of water causes volumization. That's how Restylane injections are able to help patients achieve such excellent results. The injections can last up to 6-12 months depending on the area, and the procedure itself is quick and relatively painless. If there is no bruising, you can get back to work (and play!) right away.

Dysport is another option for smoothing away wrinkles. This non-surgical treatment is effective for treating "expression lines" caused by frowning, smiling, or scowling. It is often thought of as the "next generation Botox" because it also uses a toxin to relax the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Dysport contains a toxin similar to what's in Botox, but for many it provides longer-lasting results. Dysport is most often used on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and at the outer edges of the eyes (to help with those dreaded "crow's feet"). The results last 3 to 4 months, giving you smoother, more youthful skin.
