Not all lines and wrinkles are caused by overuse of the underlying facial muscles of expression.
These deeper lines on the forehead and frown areas or folds in the lower face between the corner of the mouth and nose (smile lines) become more noticeable with age. This happens because there is a reduction in the supporting structures within the skin creating a loss of volume and sagging.
By using a skin filler such as Restylane or Juvederm Ultra, the lost volume and elasticity of the skin can be replenished. This enhances your facial profile by smoothing out the deeper lines, wrinkles and folds.
Restylane is a gel form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Unlike Collagen, with Restylane there is no need for any pre-testing. Restylane is injected into the skin after a local anaesthetic cream has been applied. The results are fairly immediate and last for an average of nine months.
