WASHINGTON, DC, October 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) Restylane is a facial filler used to eliminate wrinkles and improve the contours of the face. The results are temporary, but you can have touch-ups and make adjustments as often as needed. Restylane is a very smooth and soft dermal filler, so it is a great choice for plumping lips. Unlike bovine-derived collagen, an early filler, it is not made from animal products so it does not carry the allergy risk.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps lubricate your joints and tissues and helps keep the skin plump and elastic.
Restylane is biodegradable. It is slowly absorbed by your body over time.
Uses for Restylane
Restylane has a very natural-feeling texture. It gives to the touch, but maintains its shape. Restylane can be used to improve or eliminated the appearance of:
- Fine lines around the lips
- Deep furrows around the mouth
- Creases between the eyebrows
- Worry lines in the forehead
- Crow's feet
- Acne scars
- Other facial scars
- Cheek depressions
Restylane is also a very popular choice for lip plumping. Restylane can be used alone or in combination with BOTOX injections, depending on your aesthetic goals.
Long-Lasting Results
Restylane lasts for about six months in the lips. In other parts of the face it can last for a year or more. The effect disappears gradually as the product biodegrades and is absorbed by your body. You can have touch-ups as often as you like.
Planning for Restylane Injections
Many patients return to work on the day of their injections.
If you are considering Restylane to enhance your appearance for a special occasion, you should schedule your procedure at least one week in advance of the event. There is some minor swelling that can last for a few days, and you must protect your skin from the sun for a few days after treatment. It can take up to a week to see the full results of Restylane injections.
Unlike with some dermal fillers, allergy testing is not required prior to Restylane injections, so you will not need two appointments.

Questions about CEREC
2010-10-02
CEREC is a CAD/CAM system that uses computer imaging to create a porcelain dental restoration right in your dentist's office. To understand the benefit of this, think back to the last time you had a dental crown made and the dental assistant made you open wide so she could put a metal tray filled rubbery material in your mouth then press it down against your teeth to make an impression. After the impression was made, you probably had an ill-fitting temporary crown placed which many times was sensitive to temperature. Then you had to wait two weeks or even longer for a dental ...

Invisalign vs. Traditional Orthodontics
2010-10-02

If you are an engineer you are probably familiar with the term CAD/CAM. But most of us are not only unfamiliar with the term, but unaware of how CAD/CAM technology is changing the face of dentistry and helping us all smile a little sooner.
