What is RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine?

RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine is a skin-rejuvenating injection made of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel, with Lidocaine added for its anesthetic properties. The syringe includes the Smart Click System to help deliver the proper dose with each injection. This skin booster gel helps replace hyaluronic acid lost from younger and more delicate skin, restoring moisture and improving skin tone and elasticity.

Why do doctors use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine?

Doctors, such as dermatologists and plastic surgeons, use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine to help restore hydration in patients with younger or more delicate skin, and to help prevent the signs of aging and photodamage. The gel helps replenish hyauluronic acid that has been lost from the skin through aging, restoring moisture and improving elasticity and skin tone. You can use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine on your patient’s face, neck, decolletage which is the area between their neck and breasts, and hands. This skin booster injection is suitable for all skin types, from dry to oily.

How RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine works

RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine contains hyaluronic acid, similar to what is normally found within the skin. As the skin ages or is exposed to sun damage, it can lose its hyaluronic acid content, becoming dry and looking prematurely-aged. As you restore the skin’s hyaluronic acid content, the hyaluronic acid holds moisture within the skin and helps smooth the appearance of fine lines that may have begun to form on the skin. Hyaluronic acid also acts as an antioxidant to protect skin from free radicals which can damage skin cells. During the treatment itself, the Lidocaine in RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine acts as an anesthetic, numbing the area to reduce pain and discomfort your patient might feel from the needle. The skin booster gel will gradually break down to be absorbed into the body. The RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine syringe includes the Smart Click System, which clicks to indicate when you have injected each dose of gel.

When and how to use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine

Initially, you should perform two to three RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine treatments spaced four weeks apart, with treatments every four to six months to maintain the results. However, this may vary depending on your particular patient’s needs. Only qualified medical professionals should inject this skin booster. To use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine, first disinfect the treatment area. To prepare the syringe, hold the glass syringe and luer-lock adapter with one hand and the needle shield with the other hand, and push and rotate firmly to ensure the needle is secure. Press down on the finger grip button to activate the Smart Click System, priming the needle. Use a 29G thin wall needle or a blunt 30G cannula if you prefer. Inject RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine into the dermal layer, preferably the deeper part of the dermis, using the micro-puncture technique to deposit gel about one or two centimeters apart. This helps evenly distribute the gel across the treatment area. After the injection, you can gently massage the treatment area to ensure even distribution. For complete instructions, refer to your RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine product leaflet.

RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine side effects

RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine could cause side effects at the injection site such as transient erythema (redness), discoloration, pain, tenderness, swelling and itching, but these side effects usually resolve within a day or two. Some patients may notice temporary lumpiness, especially if the gel is injected too shallowly. After the injection or two to four weeks later, some patients may experience a hypersensitivity reaction, including swelling, redness, tenderness, and acneform papules, but these side effects are usually mild to moderate. Rarely, a patient may experience granuloma formation (a mass of immune cells from inflammation), urticaria (hives), or superficial necrosis (cell death). Any injection also carries the risk of infection. These may not be all the possible RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine side effects.

Precautions when using RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine

Do not treat patients with RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine who are allergic or hypersensitive to hyaluronic acid, Lidocaine, or any other ingredient in the gel, and do not use this skin booster on patients who have a history of severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis. Do not use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine to treat pregnant patients, and do not use RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine to treat breastfeeding patients, because the effect on a child is unknown. Do not use this skin booster to treat patients who have a bleeding disorder or who are taking thrombolytics or anticoagulants. Use caution when your patients are taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because they are at an increased risk of bruising and bleeding. Because of the Lidocaine, be cautious when treating patients with epilepsy, heart conditions, liver or renal problems, or who are taking certain anti-arrhythmics or other anesthetics, and ensure the total Lidocaine dose is under 400mg in all patients. Do not inject RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine into areas with a permanent implant or with inflammation, infection, or tumors. After their treatment, your patient should avoid excessive sun or extreme cold or heat until their swelling and redness resolve. They should also avoid chemical peels, laser treatment, or similar treatments after their injection. Each RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine syringe is for a single use only: do not resterilize or use the same syringe to treat another patient.

Does RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine require a skin test?

You do not need to perform a skin test before treating your patient with RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine. The hyaluronic acid in the gel is non-animal, instead made by bacterial fermentation from streptococci bacteria.

How to store RESTYLANE® SKINBOOSTERS™ VITAL LIGHT with Lidocaine
