The skin on the back of your hands is different from the skin of the palm and beneath the fingers.

There are no hair follicles on the underside, and the upper layer of the skin is thicker, which makes the skin of the underside more resistant to wear and tear. The hands are parts of the body that we expose to a lot of wear, for example by washing with soap and doing the dishes. These stresses contribute to skin dryness when the natural fat in the skin barrier is diminished.

 

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the body, for example in the skin where it binds water and gives hydration.

 

Why is hyaluronic acid important for the skin?

Hyaluronic acid in the skin absorbs water and acts as a kind of natural sponge. With time our hyaluronic acid loses its ability to attract water which changes the skin’s moisture balance and the skin begins to look dry and wrinkled. Thin lines begin to appear as a first sign of aging and the skin loses its elasticity and softness.

 

 

Rejuvenating the skin, is it possible?

Up until recently, it has been difficult to make the hands look younger, and earlier methods have often not given satisfactory results. However, now there is a scientifically proven and effective treatment using microinjections of biotechnologically manufactured stabilized hyaluronic acid into the skin.

 

 

Restylane Vital™

 

Restylane Vital is a crystal clear gel based on hyaluronic acid that is injected into the skin

to act like a reservoir of hydration to boost hydrobalance, improve skin elasticity and texture on the inside.

 

Scientifically proven results

Cosmetic beauty products treat the skin from the outside. Restylane Vital goes where creams can’t, delivering help in the skin where it is needed. Restylane Vital improves all the parameters that make the skin look fresh and young:

 

• Hydration
• Elasticity
• Firmness
•  Dermis thickness
• Plumpness
• Smoothness

 

Restylane Vital boosts your own collagen synthesis. The collagen is a molecule which gives the skin structure and strength. The genes responsible for its degradation become overactive with age, which also leads to wrinkles. Restylane Vital gel acts on 2 levels to boost your own collagen:

 

• Activation of the gene responsible for collagen synthesis
• Inhibition of the enzyme responsible for collagen degradation

 

 

How is a treatment with Restylane Vital done?

 

A 3-step beauty program to achieve full skin rejuvenation. A treatment with Restylane Vital is a beauty program in which skin parameters are gradually built-up. Though many of the beneficial effects can be seen after 1 treatment, 3 sessions are necessary to achieve the full rejuvenation effects of Restylane Vital.

 

Long lasting results

A Restylane treatment can last up to 18 months. The Restylane gel is non-permanent and naturally degraded by the body.Whether your need is to rejuvenate skin, smooth wrinkles or enhance facial contours or lips.

Restylane is the solution for you. Your certified practitioner will help guide you in your choice.
