For a silky, smooth, natural-looking smile. Designed specifically for lips and the lines around them.
Restylane Silk has recently been approved for release in the United States! It is the first and only FDA-approved product specifically desgined for subtle lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles and lines around the mouth in patients over 21 years old.
How does it work?
Justi like the other members of the Restylane family, Restylane Silk is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid- a sugar that is naturally present in your skin.
What makes Restylane silk different from other Restylane products?
Like other areas of the face, the lips and skin surrounding the mouth show signs of aging as an individual gets older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these areas. That why it’s made of smaller, smoother, particles than those used in other Restylane products.
In a clinical study of patients treated with Restylane Silk or no treatment, clinical investigators reported:
– 77% of patients treated with Restylane Silk showed at least a one-point improvement in lip fullness (measured on a 5 point scale) eight weeks after treatment
– 59% of patients treated with Restylane Silk maintained lip fullness six months after treatment
Restylane Silk’s unique particle gel formula, along with an ultrafine needle designed for improved accuracy, helps give you softer, more precise results- just what you need for a natural-looking smile.
Summary
• Changes in different tissue layers occur give the lips an aged appearance
• Rejuvenation treatment options include resurfacing, injectables and surgery
• Restylane Silk is effective for lip augmentation and improvement of perioral rhytids for at least 6 months
• Restylane Silk was well tolerated, with most adverse events being considered mild (>85%) in severity
• Preprocedure examination should include targeted medical history for allergies, medications, and previous procedures
• Injection technique depends on physician preference and the nature of the defect to be corrected
• Targeting the correct areas and tissue depth for injection should help minimize the risk of vascular complications
