Restylane® Treatments in San Jose
Restylane® injections are used to lift away fine lines, wrinkles and folds from the face and restore the skin contours to youthful fullness. Restylane injections are also used in the perfection and enhancement of the lips.
Los Gatos and San Jose Restylane injections offer significant advancements over collagen injections and other forms of biodegradable implants. Restylane is uniquely derived from non-animal sources so there is no need to test for allergic reactions. Restylane is long lasting and fully biodegradable.
There is little discomfort associated with Restylane injections, as very thin needles are used.

Before and After:
What is Restylane?
Restylane (non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid) is an advanced, FDA-approved medical implant developed in Sweden. Restylane acts by adding volume to the tissue, thereby restoring the skin contours to youthful fullness. Restylane injections are indicated for the correction of wrinkles, lifting of undesired folds and the enhancement of the lips.
Restylane offers important, unique advancements over Collagen:
- It is derived from non-animal sources, so the expense and time of allergy testing are not required.
- Restylane is long-lasting. The molecules hold more water over time, so volume and contour are maintained until the treatment is almost completely absorbed.
Dr. Melnick will be able to answer questions on how long the treatment can be expected to last during your consultation.
Restylane is safe and effective. It is naturally integrated into the skin and fully biodegradable — eventually no trace of the original implant remains.
The patient will feel little discomfort. Restylane is injected using very thin needles. Normally no anesthesia is required, except for the treatment of lips. Dr. Melnick has many years of experience as an anesthesiologist and will ensure your procedure is safely and comfortably administered.
