Immediately, you will experience slight redness, tenderness and itching in the treated area, and some swelling. This is a normal reaction. It is temporary and disappears within a few days. For more information about the side effects of restylane treatments, please click here.

What causes wrinkles?

Over time, skin undergoes many changes including a decrease in cell division and the thinning of the inner layers (the dermis) of the skin. Fat cells beneath the dermis diminish as well as its network of elastin and collagen fibers. Permanent small muscle contractions can also cause common wrinkles referred to as frown lines or crow’s feet. Sun damage is the most important cause of premature aging of the skin and skin cancers.
