Restylane® EYELIGHT™ is launched, allowing HCPs to take control of under-eye hollows and master tear trough treatments.
Galderma’s augmented reality FaceApp allows patients to visualise the effects of RESTYLANE® prior to treatment.
What a difference a quarter-century makes.
When we launched RESTYLANE®, the original stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid filler, we quietly hoped it would help revolutionize aesthetic procedures.
Today, minimally invasive, quality injectables have become the treatment of choice in clinics from country to country, continent to continent. Our products empower aesthetic professionals who, in turn, help make their patients happy. Clinicians who had previously relied on bovine collagen or surgery to create definition in facial features now had a new option with injectables.
And in the last 25 years, 50 million+ treatments4 have been administered in extraordinary democratization of aesthetic treatments. RESTYLANE® gives people the opportunity to improve their look their way.4
