$12 per unit RESTYLANE
Restalyne is a cosmetic filler that replenishes the dermal layer used to fill-in crease lines in the face, depressed scars and to plump lips. It delivers a natural beauty lift using the body's own material. RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is i One of the great advantages of RESTYLANE is that it is long-lasting, but not permanent. Unlike permanent treatments or implants, RESTYLANE always leaves you with the option of re-evaluating your needs when the initial effect has worn off. With RESTYLANE, you will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. When RESTYLANE breaks down, water takes its place. When totally absorbed, RESTYLANE turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears without leaving any trace in your body. Because RESTYLANE is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of eliciting allergic reactions and no risk of transmitting disease. $500 / syringe Juvéderm™
