BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The FDA recently announced the approval of Restylane, a new filler agent composed of non-animal, stabilized Hyaluronic acid, proven to work effectively for filling smile lines, enhancing lips, and contouring facial features, as well as alleviating expression lines and folds around the mouth.
Dr. Simon Ourian, MD, Medical Director of the Epione(TM) Medical Center in Beverly Hills, Calif. (the #1 Botox center in the world), is among the first cosmetic surgeons to pioneer the use of Restylane, as a result of his expertise with Botox, Radiance, collagen and non-invasive, aesthetic procedures.
"Restylane provides a safe alternative for people who are hesitant to try Botox," says Dr. Ourian. "Since the substance naturally occurs in humans, it is the safest filler on the market, and the results, lasting up to one year, are immediate and look very natural."
Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in all living organisms and is a natural component of connective tissues, including the skin.
The gel, which adds volume to minimize wrinkles and lines, is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. As the substance naturally occurs in humans, allergic reactions are very rare. Results are immediate and last up to one year. The cost of treatment ranges between $500 - $750 per injection.
Dr. Ourian's Epione(TM) Medical Center, located in Beverly Hills' "Golden Triangle," is among the world's most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers. Epione(TM) provides the most current technology available for skin, hair and body contouring. Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer for laser technology and non-invasive, aesthetic procedures such as acne, skin discoloration, wrinkles and breast augmentation.
