Restylane  Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharides, which in appropriate form is versatile soft tissue filler. Restylane is the hyaluronic acid being widely used for the management of wrinkles, fine lines, contour deformities, and volumetric deficiencies of face, cheeks, and lips associated with aging, developmental anomalies, and certain diseases.  Technique:
 Dr. John Porcaro coats the areas of the skin to be treated with a topical anesthetic, which is usually sufficient for the patient's comfort, although a nerve block may be preferable for some patients.Hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic agent, which means that it attracts water much like a sponge. This expansion contributes to the final volume that is achieved. Therefore, under filling is necessary, and many patients will benefit from a touch up session in about three weeks after the first treatment.
Overfilling can lead to bumps and irregularities which, although rare, can represent a small, temporary cosmetic problem. For many, but certainly not all patients, the results can last up to six months.
It is especially effective for the nasolabial folds, lip augmentation, and areas of contour deformities. It is also an ideal adjunct for Botox treatment and is frequently used in conjunction with Botox to correct lines and creases that persist.
Benefits: · A natural substance that does not require retesting for allergic reactions
· Results can last for approximately six months
· Minimal discomfort
· Very few side effects
· Can apply makeup immediately and return to normal activities
Other considerations:
· Bruising and swelling can occur
· Small bumps are infrequently visible or are palpable
· Repeat injections are often necessary to achieve an ideal result
