Restylane is based on a unique form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin. The story of Restylane began in 1996 when Dr Bengt Ågerup found a natural way to refresh and revitalise the skin.
He found that the quality of skin decreases with age and impairs its ability to bind water, leading to dull, ageing skin. Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin plays an important part in this process. By using a slightly stabilized form of hyaluronic acid and therefore slowing the speed at which it degrades in the body, water can be retained over a longer period of time. This increased ability to bind and hold water increases elasticity and fullness of the skin.
This technique is now known as patented NASHA™ technology that all Restylane skinbooster and filler products are built upon.
Since the first Restylane products were launched the range has expanded to provide a number of dermal fillers and skinboosters to help aesthetic practitioners meet your individual treatment needs. We continue to look into research and development of new products designed to assist you in reaching your full potential.
