Restylane and elasticity
Restylane is a dermal filler and how long it lasts depends on where it is injected. The greater the amount of motion, the faster it dissolves. It will have no effect, positive or negative, on skin elasticity.

Restylane smooths out wrinkles and lasts at least nine months.
Hi.
A wrinkle is a little valley, and Restylane fills in the valley. I don't think it affects elasticity. When placed in an area that does not move much, like the tear trough of the lower lids, it lasts for years. In an area that moves a lot, like around the mouth, it lasts quite a bit less.

Restylane for wrinkles and effects on skin elasticity
Restylane is a type of hyaluronic acid filler which acts to decrease wrinkles and facial depressions buy replacing lost tissue volume beneath the wrinkle or depression. The results of a Restylane injection can last, on average, between 6 to 12 months. Restylane does not have a direct effect on skin elastic properties.

Restylane will provide volume to the face and fill in wrinkles
Restylane will provide volume to the face and fill in wrinkles very successfully. Its effect on elasticity is not studied. Restylane and Juvederm can last 6 months or longer. However, we have noticed a secondary volume maintenance effect after injection with these hyaluronic acid fillers, perhaps by way of collagen stimulation in varying degrees. If the injections are performed periodically, the fillers may have long lasting effect on wrinkle correction.

What are Restylane's effects on elasticity?
Restylane does not effect skin elasticity. But then again, neither do so-called "stimulatory" fillers. Skin elasticity is one of those vanishing resources of the face. Depending on the exact nature of your issues, Restylane can be fabulously successful in making up for a loss of elasticity. However is some individuals, particularly in the mid face, loss of elasticity can complicate getting an optimal...

The fillers themselves do not have any true effect on skin elasticity. Howver, it may induce collagen production. The fillers increase volume.

Restylane for wrinkles
When comparing different fillers for wrinkle treatments, it is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers”. Hyaluronic acid gels like Juvederm or Restylane are used as wrinkle fillers because they are injected more superficially, being injected in the skin rather than beneath it. They are fairly interchangeable with some small but important differences. They have a totally natural feel and, depending upon the location,...
