If you're considering using Restylane®, the information provided will give you a basic understanding of the procedure, but it can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. For more information, please view the "Frequently Asked Questions" or schedule today for a consultation with Dr. Rohrich.

Am I a good candidate for the surgery?
Your visit with Dr. Rohrich will determine if you are a good candidate. Restylane is indicated for treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have severe allergies, or under 18, you shouldn't use Restylane.
Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Rohrich during your consultation.
What should I expect from my consultation?
During the consultation, you will be asked how you feel about your appearance and anything else that you feel is important. You will learn about Restylane, its limitations and risks, and discuss your needs and concerns. After your consultation a photographer will take photographs for your medical record.
Dr. Rohrich will review your medical history and check for conditions that may cause problems during or after the procedure. You should provide any information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, previous surgeries and medications that you currently take. It is important for you to provide complete information.
What is Restylane® and how are the injections performed?
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.
Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen products, Restylane is free from animal proteins.
Treatment of Restylane® is performed through injections. The injections usually takes 30 minutes to an hour to perform.
How safe is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible material that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. No skin testing is required.
What should I know about my results?
After your treatment, you might have some redness, bruising or swelling. This will normally last less than seven days. Avoid excessive sun and UV lamp exposure, and extreme cold weather until any redness or swelling disappear. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have severe allergies, or under 18, you shouldn't use Restylane.
