The augmentation of the soft tissue has a long history in the treatment of wrinkles, scars, atrophic areas and lip augmentation.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. It is also found in many parts of the human body. It binds water, hydrates the skin and makes it firm. As we age the body produces less HA, thus causing our skin to loose elasticity and vitality.

The procedure of augmenting soft tissue entails the placement of various available materials into the dermis. In the clinic, Restylane is used, which is HA. It is the ideal treatment modality for clients exhibiting "wrinkles at rest".

Restylane contains non-animal HA and water. The HA in Restylane has been stabilized to provide a long lasting duration of effect. It is minimally modified, hence mimics the body's own HA. The risk of delayed inflammatory reactions after an injection with Restylane is low, approx. 1 in 10 000 treatments. The products are crystal-clear injectable gels.

Minor reactions related to the injection are redness, pain and swelling. They tend to disappear within a week.
