Restylane is made from hyaluronic acid which can give skin volume and a fuller look. Restylane is usually injected to improve the appearances of wrinkles and creases of the face.  Restylane and other dermal fillers can vary in cost.  Services for injections will vary as well, sometimes greatly.  You will have to consult a board-certified physician with experience to determine which type of treatment is best for you and your particular skin type. The many treatments that are possible vary in cost and here I will try to inform you of what to expect cost-wise from these type of wrinkle treatments.

Hyaluronic Acid is a common dermal filler. It goes by the brand names Restylane, Juvederm and Hylaform. injections of any of these run at around $600. more than a single treatment may be required. Usually months after the initial injection follow ups are required. Calcium Hydroxylapatite or know better by the brand name Radiesse is slightly more expensive at around $800. With any of these treatments you should discuss the pricing with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure. This should be common sense.

Collagen is one of the cheaper forms of wrinkle reduction treatments. It can cost about $300 to $400. Collogen brand names are Cosmoplast, Cosmoderm, Artefill, Zyderm, Zyplast. Fat injections are one of the more expensive dermal filler treatments. Actually its probably the most expensive available treatment at around $1500.00. Honestly fat injections sound a little gross but they are approved by the FDA. Running nearly the same in cost is Polylactic Acid at about 1000 to 1200 dollars. This one goes by the artsy name of Sculptra.

As you can see, restylane costs or more precisely various dermal filler costs come in a wide range. Get the correct information up front before committing to a procedure. Don;t rush into a costly cosmetic injection treatment without proper consultation with preferably at least two physicians or surgeons. Weight the costs, you may find differences in cost between surgeons in differing geographical locations. Don’t always go cheap though. Find a quality doctor. Skin care advice is hard to come by. I hope this post may be of some small assistance to you in creating the look you desire and saving some money while you’re at it.
