“…While only a few studies on the use of Restylane for skin of colour are reported, the study by Odunze[16] showed that the use of Restylane in people with darker skin (Type IV to VI) was as safe and effective as in people with fair skin. In addition, the study highlighted the importance of minimizing the number of needle punctures to the skin, in order to limit the risk of hyperpigmentation.…”

Background:Correction of nasolabial creases through minimally invasive procedures is increasingly being sought by patients. Injecting non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler is a highly effective method to achieve an optimal and persistent cosmetic resultAims:To evaluate the efficacy, persistence and safety of Restylane and Perlane (Q-Med, Sweden) for correction of nasolabial folds in Indian patientsMaterials and Methods:Thirty Indian patients with mild, moderate and severe nasolabial folds (based on Wrinkle Assessment Scale) were recruited in the study after informed consent for correction of their folds with Restylane or Perlane or both. Injections were administered in a single sitting after global assessment of the patient's face using Wrinkle assessment scale (WAS).Optimal filling was performed by using appropriate techniques and its safety and efficacy assessed independently by the investigator as well as by patients at immediately, 3, 6 and 9 months post-procedure. Any adverse reactions were noted.Results:Twenty two females and 8 males (age range 45-55 years, mean age 52 years) were recruited in the study. An optimum cosmetic correction was obtained in all patients. The efficacy increased with time and was greatest at 3 months after the treatment. Grade 2 improvement was maintained at 9 months in mild and moderate folds, and grade 3 improvement for severe folds. Minor post injection side effects like erythema at puncture site, needle marks and bruising were seen.Conclusion:Restylane and Perlane are safe and effective dermal fillers for correction of nasolabial creases and offer immediate effect.

“…Subsequent randomized controlled trials have shown that no such effects were seen in the darker skin types and the safety profile is comparable across all skin types. 115,116,117 Serious complications such as vascular occlusion and embolization are very rare but should be carefully considered in order to avoid vision loss and necrosis. Hypersensitivity to filler products is very rare but may lead to angioedema or anaphylaxis.…”
