| RestylaneŽ
is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores
volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles
and folds, such as nasolabial folds. RestylaneŽ has a
highly favorable safety profile. It is composed of
non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a
substance found naturally in the human body. RestylaneŽ is
fully biocompatible. |

 RestylaneŽ
maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The
hyaluronic acid in RestylaneŽ is hydrophilic or "water
loving." As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each
molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume
can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of
hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide
long-lasting results. |

RestylaneŽ has a highly favorable safety profile. It's
composed of Non-Animal Stabilized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic
acid is a substance found naturally in the human body. RestylaneŽ
is fully biocompatible.
There is limited risk of animal-based disease
transmission or development of allergic reactions to animal
proteins. However, no allergy testing is required before use.
Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen
products, RestylaneŽ is free from animal proteins. This limits
any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of
allergic reactions to animal proteins. Since 1996, over 3
million RestylaneŽ treatments have been safely administered by
dermatologists and plastic surgeons in more than 70 countries.
This innovative treatment is now approved in the U.S. for the
treatment of facial wrinkles and folds.

Based on clinical
studies, RestylaneŽ treatments produce a low occurrence of
adverse events. The most commonly reported side effects were
temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These
effects typically resolve in less than seven days.
Precautions
 | * The safety of RestylaneŽ for use during pregnancy,
in breastfeeding females or in patients under 18 years
has not been established. |
| * The safety of RestylaneŽ in patients with
increased susceptibility to keloid formation and
hypertrophic scarring has not been studied. RestylaneŽ
should not be used in patients with known susceptibility
to keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. |
| * The patient should be informed that he or she
should minimize exposure of the treated area to
excessive sun and UV lamp exposure and extreme cold
weather until any initial swelling and redness has
resolved. |
| * If laser treatment, chemical peeling or any other
procedure based on active dermal response is considered
after treatment with RestylaneŽ there is a possible risk
of eliciting an inflammatory reaction at the implant
site. This also applies if RestylaneŽ is administered
before the skin has healed completely after such a
procedure. |
Your healthcare professional should discuss what to do
after your treatment. However, be sure to review the
information below and discuss any concerns with them.
Post-Treatment Checklist
Please observe the following after treatment with
RestylaneŽ.
| * After your treatment, you might have some redness
or swelling. This will normally last less than seven
days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be
avoided until any redness or swelling disappear. |
| If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you
shouldn't use RestylaneŽ. |
| * Avoid touching the treated area within six hours
following treatment. After that, the area can be gently
washed. |
| * Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be
avoided until any redness or swelling disappear. |
| * If you have previously suffered from facial cold
sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could
contribute to another recurrence. Speak to your
physician about medications that may minimize a
recurrence. |
| * Avoid exercise and alcohol for six hours after
your treatment. |
| * Having a follow-up treatment before the product
has fully dissipated may enhance the lasting effect.
Please be sure to consult your physician about
recommendations for touch-up or follow-up treatments. |
| * One week prior to your next treatment with
RestylaneŽ, avoid taking St. John's Wort, high doses of
Vitamin E supplements, aspirin, and other non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen. These
agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the
injection site. |
