Skin Ageing
As we age, our skin loses its radiance and youthful appearance, gradually becoming thinner, dehydrated and less firm. This is partly because the production of the molecule that provides hydration and structure to our skin, hyaluronic acid or HA, slows down with time2.
At the same time, the natural ageing process drives changes to the underlying bone structure of the face, which can lead to a lack of definition in facial contours, such as our cheeks3.
But the visible changes to our skin are not caused by time alone – lifestyle factors can often worsen our skin’s condition and even accelerate the ageing process.
Treatment Options
The visible changes caused by skin ageing, such as lines, wrinkles and volume loss, can be treated in different ways. Dermal fillers and gels that use naturally occurring HA are one popular option2.
These treatments work by injecting naturally occurring HA into the skin to replace levels lost to the natural ageing process. The Restylane portfolio includes products that restore a youthful appearance by replacing volume loss and improving definition and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as products that improve the skin’s condition by providing hydration.
Proof In Real Life
See for yourself the difference that Restylane could make to your skin’s appearance. In this photo series, one twin has been treated with Restylane fillers, Restylane Skinboosters™, or both, and the other with nothing.
