Restylane is identical to a natural compound (hyaluronic acid) found in our bodies. A gel, Restylane is injected into the skin with a fine needle and is used most effectively to smooth out lines, shape facial contours, or sculpt lips. With Restylane, you should continue to have follow-up treatments at six to eight-month intervals in order to maintain the results you desire. Controlled studies of Restylane have demonstrated its safety; and in fact, it was just approved by the FDA.
Radiance is a new product composed of a permanent synthetic material consisting of tiny spheres of calcium hydroxyapatite. Radiance has been approved in the United States for vocal cord augmentation. Because Radiance is a permanent material, it is recommended that patients initially receive a less permanent injectable material. This allows the patient to know what to expect from a soft-tissue filler injection. Once the patient is satisfied with the cosmetic results obtained through the initial injection, then the more permanent Radiance can be used. Radiance is excellent for enhancing lips and eliminating fine lines and wrinkles in the face, with the benefits lasting many years. However, injectable products that are "permanent" should be used with extreme caution. All the above products are available at Core Plastic Surgery.
