Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler used to add volume to improve fine lines, folds, and the contours of the face. Restylane injections typically provide good outcomes between 6-12 months in duration with the average being 6-8 months for patients new to Restylane treatment.
Experience and research suggest that Restylane injections may last longer with consistent use of fillers (every 6 months). This is related to the body’s response to make new collagen in the treated areas – a good thing! Galderma (the manufacturer of Restylane) has now provided research to support that benefits of Restylane injections may last as long as eighteen months when used consistently. Technique and treatment areas will also have a role in the longevity of the Restylane injections.
