Here's a video clip from a Channel News 4 report about Restylane and Radiance. They interview a male hairdresser and a young woman who are both big fans of the dermal filler.

This film clip must be a few years old because they say FDA has not yet approved Restylane. But the FDA approved it for facial wrinkles three years ago.

The FDA says that studies conducted by the manufacturer showed that Restylane is safe and effective for filling moderate to severe wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Most patients needed one injection to get optimal correction; about one-third of patients needed more than one injection to get a satisfactory result. The effect lasted about six months.

Restylane is made with hyaluronic acid. Two other injectable products are approved by FDA for treating wrinkles. Collagen injections are approved for correcting soft tissue deficiencies such as wrinkles and acne scars, and botulinum toxin is approved for treating frown lines between the eyebrows. Other treatments for wrinkles include topical creams, chemical peels and laser and electro-surgical resurfacing.
