WHAT IS RESTYLANE
Restylane is a well-known brand of dermal fillers that is used to enhance facial aesthetics and address signs of aging.It is made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides hydration and volume to the skin. Restylane fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours. They can target concerns such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip augmentation, and cheek enhancement.
