RESTYLANE Vital

Introducing a natural beauty treatment that rejuvenates your skin

Key to our general sense of wellbeing is the health and appearance of our skin. And key to this is a substance called hyaluronic acid. This occurs naturally in our bodies where it plays an important role in hydrating skin. Put simply, hyaluronic acid keeps our skin firm, supple and looking healthy.

However; as we age our skin cells lose their ability to produce this all-important substance. The inevitable result of this is skin that's drier; thinner; and lacking in volume. Skin that can so easily 'give away' our age.

Healthy younger-looking skin

RESTYLANE Vital is a natural beauty treatment that gently replenishes hyaluronic acid, reversing the 'tell- tale' signs of ageing. It's a pure, crystal-clear gel, and when introduced into the skin -in tiny amounts with an extra-fine needle -it creates a fresh, natural and more youthful appearance. And since there is no need for pre-testing, treatment with RESTYLANE Vital typically takes just 15-30 minutes.

POST-TREATMENT advice

Immediately after the treatment with RESTYLANE Vital there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. If the inconvenience continues or if other reactions occur, please contact your physician.

The treated area should be massaged gently for 30 seconds morning and night for 2 to 3 days.

The initial swelling after treatment may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week. This means that the result directly after the treatment should not be seen as the final result.

Avoid touching the treated area 6 hours after the treatment. After that the area can be gently washed with soap and water and light make-up can be applied.

Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold.

If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores.

If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase the bruising and bleeding at the injection site.

RESTYLANE Vital contains the body's own natural material, hyaluronic acid.
