Crease lines, wrinkles, loss of volume on the face are all natural parts of aging. Some of us embrace
age without any issues. On the other hand, many folks go through painstaking lengths to fight of
signs of aging. These lines commonly start appearing in the thirties and become more prominent in
the fifties. There are many reasons including lifestyle, genetics, smoking, over exposure to sun and
repeated facial expressions that result in these unwanted changes.
At Dental Concepts Mumbai we aim to help you look younger by using the most popular non-surgical
treatment using Azzalure® Botulinum toxin ( Botulinum toxin Type A) to get rid of those wrinkles on
the forehead, frown lines and lines around the corner of your eyes (Crows feet) and Restylane®
Dermal Fillers giving your face a fuller appearance by enhancing the volume of lips and getting rid
of nasolabial folds (lines running from corner of the mouth to outer edge of the nostril) and
marionette lines (lines around the corner of the mouth).
Dermal fillers are designed to help smooth away wrinkles and lines, by adding volume under your skin
where it is needed most.
Dental Concepts Mumbai uses Restylane Dermal Fillers as they are FDA approved, biodegradable, non
animal which means that no skin tests are needed and that there is a minimal risk of allergic or
hypersensitive reactions.
Dr. Namrata Vira is the qualified dentist at Dental Concepts Mumbai who is trained and experienced
at providing dermal filler treatments for our patients.
Restylane is a range of products for facial aesthetic treatments made in Sweden. They are
designed to effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, contour and create volume in
facial features such as the cheeks, chin and lips, and to revitalise the skin.
Restylane is a gel based on stabilised hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that
naturally exists in your body. The gel is injected into the skin through a needle or cannula by
a trained Restylane practitioner (in the UK a Restylane practitioner is a medical professional
such as Plastic Surgeon, Cosmetic Doctor, Dermatologist, Costmetic Dentist, or Aesthetic Nurse).
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. It binds water and can act as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients, regulating water balance and giving volume and structure to our skin.
A treatment with Restylane provides an easy way to enhance your appearance. The result of a
single treatment can be seen instantly, and lasts around one year*,**. With Restylane you will
achieve a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression.
Restylane is the most scientifically documented HA based dermal filler in the world with
comprehensive studies that support its safety and efficacy. Restylane has been used in over 20
million treatments*** worldwide since 1996.
Restylane filler treatments and lip enhancement results can be seen instantly.
Duration can vary and is dependant upon your body's own metabolism, genetics, lifestyle as well
as area treated.

The most common areas treated are:
1. Nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds)
2. Between the eyebrows (the glabella lines)
3. Lip enhancement (adding volume, shape and hydrating lips)
By boosting the skin's supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane revitalises and adds volume to the
skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and giving a natural softer
look.
Restylane is a soft injectable gel consisting of stabilised (minimally modified), non-animal
hyaluronic acid. The gel is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that
exists naturally in the body. It is long-lasting but not permanent.
The Restylane range of dermal fillers are specifically designed to add volume to facial
features, improving facial contours.
There are a number of different Restylane fillers, each designed to work at different levels of
the skin for the optimum treatment outcome.
Before
Dr. Namrata Vira is the qualified dentist at Dental Concepts Mumbai trained and experienced at
providing Restylane Filler Treatments to our patients.
During consultation be prepared to discuss your treatment expectations. After discussion of what
you wish to achieve and assessment of your treatment needs, we will recommend which Restylane
treatment is most suitable for you.
After the consultation, and if you are happy to proceed, you will complete a medical history
form and you will need to sign a consent form before treatment can progress.
During
Treatment is simple and quick and normally takes around 15-20 minutes. Restylane fillers are
injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle or cannula. The gel provides
natural volume to smooth away the appearance of lines and wrinkles, enhance facial shape, or
create fuller lips. Restylane Skinbooster products improve the elasticity and texture of skin,
maintaining and restoring the skins hydrobalance by injecting a number of tiny 'droplets' of
hyaluronic acid gel into the skin.
The total treatment takes about 15-30 minutes. Treatment with Restylane does not affect facial
expression and the benefits can normally be seen instantly – see our Restylane results page.
After
The treatment benefits can be seen instantly. You can expect slight redness, swelling, pain,
tenderness, itching and/or bruising following a treatment. This is the same as you might expect
with any type of injection. However, this is temporary and generally disappears after a few
days.
Restylane products are biodegradable, which means they will naturally disappear in the body.
To ensure an optimal and long lasting result, a top-up treatment is recommended 6-12 months
after your initial Restylane treatment. You will be advised for a follow up / top up treatment
appointment.
More than 20 million treatments* have been performed since the launch of Restylane in 1996.
Product related reactions are rare.
There are some injection related reactions which may occur after any injection; they typically
resolve spontaneously a few days after injection to the skin, within a week after injection into
the lips and within two weeks after injection with Restylane SubQ. These reactions include
redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the injection site.
After lip enhancement, lips may swell for up to a week, but this typically reduces after two to
three days. You should discuss side effects and post treatment reactions with your aesthetics
practitioner. In case of more pronounced reactions or if they last longer than a week contact
your practitioner.
No skin test is required as the product does not contain any animal derived ingredients.
Can Restylane be used if I have had laser treatment or a chemical peel?
If you have recently had a laser or chemical peel treatment, it is recommended you wait until
the area is totally healed and the skin is back to its normal condition.
Restylane has patented a unique technology, NASHA™ (Non Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid), which stabilises hyaluronic acid to make it long lasting, yet similar to the body's own hyaluronic acid. This means that a Restylane treatment is safe and long lasting, minimising the risk of allergic reactions.
