Chicago Restylane Fillers

Cosmetic technology is evolving rapidly, and many patients want to understand the benefits of Restylane fillers compared to other facial treatments. Restylane, first formulated in Sweden and now approved by the U.S. FDA, is an enhanced version of a naturally-occurring human protein. It is used to reduce facial wrinkles or sagging skin on a temporary basis. Its broad range of applications and minimal side effects have made it popular worldwide.

The research and development of this biotech product sought to mimic the human body's youthful skin condition. This advanced treatment can:

  • Act like natural hyaluronic acid, which gives young tissue fullness and smoothness
  • Last longer than alternative fillers or laser treatments
  • Cost far less than conventional plastic surgery or facelifts
  • Be used in several formulas, such as Restylane for Lips

Restylane is safe to use because it is biodegradeable, not derived from animal proteins (like some collagen fillers) and carries minimal side effect risk. The gel formula closely resembles natural face and lip tissue and costs about the same as less reliable fillers. Although effects are temporary, periodic follow-up treatments will help to maintain the new look.

Animal-based collagen fillers and laser collagen stimulation are less cost effective, due to their shorter lifespans. A certified esthetician or dermatologist can help patients determine the best cosmetic medical procedure for their goals, but it helps to be informed about the pros and cons. Unlike treatments that may cause allergic reactions, Restylane is compatible with most body and skin types. In the Chicago area, NuU Medspa offers expert treatment in its Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park and suburban locations.
