Restylane - the first Fillers

Restylane was first introduced on the market in 1996. I started practicing aesthetic medicine  in 1998. I remember it being the only filler available in the market at that time. It was introduced as a groundbreaking filler, the first of its kind.







Fillers in general have come a long way since. There are hundreds of brands in the market now but what I have observed is the staying power of Restylane and how it continued to grow - in product range, as well as in technique range. As more and more new products are developed, I also learnt more and more new techniques to treat and help my patients attain their desired enhancement.
The Restylane range of products : Restylane fillers, Restylane skinboosters and Restylane skincare, has enabled people to take care of their skin from the inside and out - instantly, effectively and long-term.


The Restylane secret is called NASHA which makes the Restylane products' unique qualities and are all based on this patented technology for stabilizing hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.
All Restylane products contain gel particles of stabilized hyaluronic acid, giving the products a range of important benefits :
1. Long duration of effect
2..High similarity to natural hyaluronic acid
3. High lifting capacity and resistance to deformation : The filler creates volume and stays where it is injected
4.Most documented filler - been in the market for over 15years and written about in over 200 medical publications.

I loved using this range of HA fillers over the years and although I have tried many new ones as they came along on the market from time to time, I continue to go back to Restylane for its reliability, ease of use and many new indications.
Restylane fillers are thus used and great for :
1. Lip Augmentation (beautiful!)
2. Nose Augmentation
3. Mid face lift
4. Cheek Augmentaiton
5. Chin Augmentation and prominance
6. Brow shaping and under eye grooves and dark circle
7. Nasolabial fols (Deep smile lines)
8. Skin Rejuvenation (Restylane Vital)
9. Revitalize dull, creppy skin
10. Increase skin hydration and density
11. Hand Rejuvenation
12. Decolletage Rejuvenation

Restylane Skin Boosters (Restylane Vital product line) have also helped me get my patients skin "go back in time". They are designed to gradually rejuvenate the skin in areas such as the face, decolletage and hands. It restores the skin's hydrobalance and improve skin elasticity and structure as well as skin firmness. They act like reservoir of longlasting hydration leaving the skin smooth and soft with beautiful luster and glow, allowing you to look the age that you feel.

Recently, I attended a demonstration and training session for Macrolane, which is another version of Restylane HA for use on body areas like breasts and buttocks. Read on my other  topic : Non-Surgical Breast & Buttock Augmentation.

Thats wonderfull. Can we use it by ourself? or by aesthetician?
Dr.Sutina said…
Restalyne can be used for any parts of the body. For the undereye area or tear trough area, Restylane Vital is used.
Dr.Sutina said…
Restylane is a type of filler and is classified as a medical device or prosthetic product for implantation through injections. Therefore it is only allowed to be injected by trained Drs, not aestheticians or beauticians. Definitely can't be done on yourself.

Do you use Radiesse? I am interested in a filler that can improve the collagen in my cheeks.
Dr.Sutina said…
Yes, I use Radiesse filler. In fact I first learnt about Radiesse while attending the IMCAS Conference in Paris several years ago and our centre is one of the first in Malaysia to conduct filler injections using Radiesse. Radiesse is very good for deep nasolabial folds (smile lines) and for augmentation of facial features like cheeks, chin and jawline. It also can help stimulate the natural collagen in the skin giving a vwery natural and long lasting effect.

Laser Vagina Rejuvenation

Our V2LR laser handpiece is finally here. Had a revision session with Prof Zerbinatti in the clinic on 3rd Jan. Imagine, for those of us who wish to "rejuvenate" ourselves can do so now with ease and painlessly. Just make an appointment with the clinic, come in 30min earlier so a topical numbing cream can be applied, and have the procedure conducted and completed in 1/2 hr,tops. What will you get ? Well, internally the lasering will "puff"up the mucosa of the vaginal wall by collagen remodeling, as well as improve sensations. Externally the procedure can lighten the skin color, increase sensitivity as well tighten surrounding area. ALl these in just 3 sessions! Prof Zerbinatti claims that in his clinic this is currently the most popular procedure among women in their 30s and 40s. I am very excited about this procedure. I know a lot of women out there do not have any problems, and therefore do not require any surgical LVR but would like to just improve. Like everyhti...

Loose Weight in 3weeks !

Finally found a quick fix to a long term problem! This method not only can reduce the excess weight fast and permanently, it does this by burning the reserved stubborn fat in the body and not the structural fat which easily returns with a vengeance once a program is over. In summary, this "Enhanced" Weight Loss Program aims to : 1. Loose excess weight esp from stubborn fats 2. Increase and Reset Basal Metabolic Rate to a higher level and by doing the #1 and #2, able to 3. Maintain the weight loss forever! ( don't we all wish for this?) . With all this in mind, I decided to embark on this program myself. It is Day 8 today. This protocol should reduce my weight from 0.5 to 1.0lb per day. I only need to follow a special diet plan and take the medication daily. Total loss expected if all progresses accordingly will be 6 to 9kg (or upto 15lbs). I started with 64.8kg on Day1, went up to 64.9kg on Day2 and have progressively lost between 0.3 to 0.7kg daily since. Today I am at 6...

Automated Hair Transplantation

Finally, something to write! After returning from Italy after the V2LR training, I became interested in a new technology for Hair Transplantation called the S.A.F.E.R. techniquee using the French made PUNCH Matic machine. Traditionally, hair transplantion is a very time consuming process taking around 6 to 8 hours of tedious and meticulous work. Because of this, many Drs and Surgeons prefer not to conduct this procedure in their practice. Also the old technique gave only 60-80% follicular survival rate and for someone who is losing his/her hair, losing more doner hair can be unacceptable. I began to like the idea of this new technique when I found out that I do not have to cut a few strips of scalp skin from the back of the head to donate the follicle unit(FU). With the SAFER technique I only vacuum individual hair follicle out without cutting the skin. This makes is very much less invasive and less complications. Survival of the follicular unit is also much higher. I also...
