Message From A Restylane Client
Dear Dr. Prasad, c/o Nova Laser Clinic,
I always had a complex about my thin lips but didn’t really know what to do about them. A friend recommended your name and
I’m thrilled with the fullness you’ve brought about with one session of Restylane dermal filler injection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restylane and Other Dermal Fillers
What is Restylane?
Restylane is a dermal filler, used as an injection to treat wrinkles, scars and deep grooves below the nose and also to
plump up the lips.
What does Restylane contain?
Restylane is made up of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance, which is already present in the deeper layers of
the skin. When injected, Restylane draws water and swells up, thereby
filling up the defect.
How is Restylane different from other hyaluronic acid based products?
Hyalform (Biomatrix, Ridgefield, NJ) and Ial-System (Fidia, Abano Terme, Italy) are also hyaluronic acid based products,
but they are obtained from rooster combs. As Restylane is from non-animal source, there is very little risk of getting
an animal based disease or allergic reaction.
How long does the effect of Restylane last?
The effect lasts for 6 months or longer.
How is Restylane different from
Botox?
Botox is used to treat “wrinkles in motion”. Restylane is used to treat “wrinkles at rest”.
Can you tell us about other dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can be categorized as:-
- Heterografts
- Allografts
- Autografts
- Synthetics
Heterografts are products taken from a non-human species for use in humans e.g. bovine collagen suspensions
(Zyderm I and II, Zyplast and Resoplast), polymethylmethacrylate microspheres suspended in bovine collagen solution
(Artecoll), animal hyaluronic acid from rooster combs (Hylaform and Ial-System), non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid
NASHA (Restylane Touch, Restylane, Restylane Vital, Restylane SubQ and Perlane) and porcine collagen (Permacol and Fibrils).
Allografts are products from dead / alive human donors (Alloderm, Cymetra, Dermalogen).
Autografts are products transferred from one part of the body to another, in the same person
(autologous fat, autologous collagen, Autologen and Isolagen). To get Autologen and Isolagen, a piece of skin is removed
from the patient and sent to the laboratory. The collagen fibres are processed (Autologen) or cultured (Isolagen) and then
sent back for implantation.
Synthetic materials like polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-tex), silicone, silicium biopolymer (Biopolymere III) and
methylsiloxane rubber particles suspended in plasdone hydrogel (Bioplastique) are also being used as dermal fillers.
Recently poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra in USA and New-Fill in Europe) and calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiance) have been
used for large volume filling.
At Nova Laser Clinic, Kolkata, we have Restylane and other dermal fillers for treating static wrinkles and hollow temples
and cheeks as well as for performing lip augmentation. Our dermatologist, Dr. Arun K. Prasad, will carefully evaluate your
condition and design a treatment plan specific for your condition.
