What is the Cost of Treatment?
The cost of treatment depends on the amount used and the specific area of the face. Costs range significantly throughout the country and major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Miami will cost a little more. A general ball park is between $500-$1,000 a shot.

Are there any Areas of the Face that do not Work Well?
Restylane is excellent for all areas of the face that have fine lines. For the very small lines that bleed lipstick on the upper lip, Restylane Fine Line is used. It is not as dense as Restylane, but works magic on fine upper lips.

Why is Restylane better than collagen?
Restylane is better than collagen because it is a smooth, clear gel and “flows” when it is injected and goes in very evenly. Most importantly, it can last six months or longer. Restylane is an excellent wrinkle filler and wrinkles can be “filled in” as needed. With collagen, you have to over correct because of the anesthetic in it -as some is absorbed, the correction decreases so it was somewhat of a guess although experience helped a great deal.

In one U.S. clinical study, Restylane outperformed a collagen-based substance by 6 to 1. Collagen can also cause allergic reactions. Because Restylane is a non-animal based gel created in the lab, there are no allergic side effects.
