The presence of hyaluronic acid in restylane injections stimulates the increased production of collagen and elastin in the treatment area. Collagen and elastin are both fibrous proteins produced in our body to help with wound healing. They are also essential to the structural integrity of every connective tissue in our body, including our bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and yes, our skin! As such, the increased production of collagen and elastin with restylane injections will help to improve the appearance and health of your skin. Moreover, one of the primary reasons for facial aging signs and lost volume in our cheeks, lips, and hands is due to diminished collagen and elastin production that naturally occurs as we age. With that in mind, restylane injections are a powerful anti-aging solution to help your skin look fresh, young, and bright!
