If you thought Hartley Street Dental Studio was great at servicing teeth, you’d only be half right. We also offer a number of facial rejuvenation treatments, such as Restylane, which temporarily reverse the inevitable aging process. Restylane is a revolutionary dermal filler that is injected into areas of the face where the body’s natural collagen layer has thinned. This consequently fills out any skin that is sagging or wrinkled, resulting in smooth, fresh-looking skin and replenished contours. Restylane is a gel made from stabilised hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin as a structuring agent.

How is Restylane administered?

As with most treatments, the initial step is a medical consultation, after which your London doctor will be able to suggest the best kind of treatment for you. A typical Restylane treatment session will take between 15 and 30 minutes. A tiny needle penetrates the skin to a depth of a few millimetres, using anaesthesia if necessary, although the treatment is not generally considered painful. As with most injected dermal fillers, swelling and redness may occur for a few hours following the treatment. Then, as the hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin, any wrinkles are filled out for a fresh, firm new look. It is usually recommended that treatment is repeated every six to 12 months in order to retain a youthful visage.

Why Restylane?

Restylane treatment is safe, effective and ethical. Many of the product’s competitors are made from animal sources, so they need to undergo thorough testing before they can be used as dermal fillers on humans. Restylane’s use of only naturally-occurring substances that are not derived from animals means that it does not require such rigorous testing, making it a safer, more ethical treatment and providing more natural-looking results.

Restylane is paving the way for a clientele at Hartley Street Dental Studio that is more confident in its appearance—and when you’re confident, we’re content.
