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.

If the injections are performed periodically, the fillers may have long lasting effect on wrinkle correction.

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,... more
