Fine lines. Hollowed eyes. Thinning lips. These are all part of how our faces change over time, but they don’t have to define how you look or feel. At StarkMD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center in Philadelphia, Restylane offers a precise, natural-looking way to restore volume, smooth vertical lip lines and deep laugh lines, and bring soft structure back to the face. Performed by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ran Stark, Restylane injections deliver noticeable improvements without surgery, downtime, or a change to your natural facial expressions.
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used to treat volume loss, facial wrinkles, and folds. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces that helps retain moisture and elasticity in the skin. The Restylane line includes multiple FDA-approved injectable fillers tailored for specific areas, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. At StarkMD, we offer the full range of Restylane injectable gel products, including:
