How is RESTYLANE™ different from BOTOX® and collagen?
RESTYLANE is a natural cosmetic filler. BOTOX® is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Many patients have been very pleased after receiving treatment with both products. Bovine collagen is derived from animals and requires an allergy test before it can be used. Because RESTYLANE is a non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, it can be administered without pre-testing. In addition, it delivers a longer-lasting effect than bovine collagen.
