Restylane is the trade name for a specific formulation of non-animal sourced hyaluronic acid most commonly used for lip augmentation. In the United States , Restylane has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic injection into subdermal facial tissues. [ 1 ]

Restylane is injected under wrinkles and aging lines of the face such as the nasolabial folds , melomental folds, " crows feet " and forehead wrinkles. It may also be used for filling aging-related facial hollows and "orbital troughs" (under and around the eyes). The process has a fast recovery time of 2 to 3 days. However, it is not permanent; reapplication is recommended every six months or so. Costs can be anywhere between $300 and $500 per treatment. [ 2 ] less
