A New Skincare Line from the Makers of Restylane

Q-Med, maker of Restylane and Perlane, just announced their new line of skincare products at the World Congress for Anti-Aging Medicine in Monaco.

The new line of products contain the same patented NASHA technology used in Restylane injectable filler, an addition that provides a pleasing consistency while preserving moisture and adding luster to the skin.

In a press release, Q-Med explained their intentions with the new skincare line: “The secret to beautiful skin is balanced skin hydration combined with a healthy and protective skin barrier. Restylane Skincare combines these two qualities in an innovative series of creams [that] supplement the effect of injectable Restylane products.”

What is NASHA?

Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid is the secret to Restylane’s success. Hyaluronic acid serves many important functions and in many areas of your body. Because it can bind water, HA hydrates the skin and lubricates the joints. The stabilization process allows Restylane to produce enduring results.

While Restylane and Perlane have been around longer than most wrinkle fillers, they are not the only products containing HA. Products like Prevelle, Hydrelle and others are now widely available for similar purposes. However, according to Q-Med, these fillers are not interchangeable with Restylane.

The least modified competing products are still considerably more chemically changed than the NASHA gels. Competing products are either not as viscous as the NASHA gels, which means that they cannot build and retain volume in the same way, or they are considerably more chemically changed.

The new Restylane product line should be available in Sweden and Europe this summer. If they become available here in Little Rock, we will be sure to let you know.
