Restylane® is not one product but a family. Asking «how much is Restylane» is like asking how much a car costs: it depends which, and which depends on the area.
What it is and who makes it
Restylane® is a line of hyaluronic acid fillers from Galderma, in clinical use since the 1990s — one of the families with the most accumulated literature in the sector. The hyaluronic acid is of non-animal origin, obtained by bacterial fermentation, which removes the risk of a reaction to animal protein.
What separates references within the family is how the gel is processed. Some keep particles of a defined size, giving firmness and structural support; others are processed into a more homogeneous, flexible gel that integrates better in areas of movement. Neither is better: they solve different problems.
Which reference belongs in each area
| Need | Gel type | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Projection and support | Firm, defined particle | Cheekbone, chin, jaw angle |
| Fold correction | Medium density | Nasolabial folds, marionette lines |
| Lip volume and shape | Flexible, smooth integration | Lip body, Cupid’s bow |
| Thin-skin areas | Fluid, low water affinity | Tear trough, fine lines |
The exact reference is decided at the consultation and written into the quote along with the batch number. If you are not told which reference will be used, you cannot compare that price with any other, nor know what you were given.
Health registration and traceability
Branded fillers legally marketed in Colombia carry INVIMA registration. That is what shows the product came through the formal channel, with cold chain and traceability.
What you can ask for without troubling anyone serious: to see the box before it is opened, for the syringe to be opened in front of you, and for the batch number to be recorded in your notes. That label is your only proof of what was applied, and it is what is needed if a delayed reaction ever has to be investigated.
What it costs
Filler is not quoted by «area» but by product and volume, and for a reason worth understanding before you compare: two people with the same complaint can need 1 ml and 4 ml. A closed per-area price that does not say how many millilitres it includes cannot be compared with anything — the same problem as botox units.
How it works here:
- The consultation is free and is not charged in advance. You are assessed, told which product, how much volume and the total, and you decide then.
- The quote is given in writing with the brand, the batch number and the millilitres before anything is applied. That document is what makes comparison possible.
- You pay for what is applied. If your case needs less volume than expected, you pay less.
Payment: cash, debit card and credit card, with the option to split into instalments at the terminal under your own bank plan.
