Dermal fillers remain one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments performed each year. Restylane® can rejuvenate your look and help you look as young as you feel.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is a family of dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar naturally found in your skin which keeps it supple and hydrated. Restylane can be injected under the skin to provide support and smooth wrinkles and folds. It can also be used to augment your features for a more balanced, youthful look. Restylane can be used in a variety of treatment areas, including:
- Nasolabial lines and marionette lines
- Lip augmentation
- Cheek augmentation
- Undereye bags
- Chin and jawline augmentation
There are a variety of Restylane formulations available, and one may be better for your specific treatment areas. Dermal fillers can be easily combined with other injectables like BOTOX® for even better results.
Is Restylane Right for Me?
Restylane is one of the best ways to rejuvenate your look and augment your features without surgery or downtime. In order to be considered a good candidate for Restylane, you should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about what fillers can achieve. Dermal fillers come with little risk of reaction, but our team can help you determine if Restylane is right for your goals. Our team can also help you select the right Restylane formulation for your treatment area. If your goals are more substantial or your aging signs are more severe, you may need to explore surgical options or non-surgical skin tightening.
Restylane can easily be combined with injectable treatments like BOTOX® for even better anti-aging results.
Your Restylane Procedure
Restylane treatment is very quick and takes only 10-15 minutes depending on your treatment plan. To begin, you’ll discuss your goals with our team and determine the right treatment area and formulation. Then, the treatment area will be cleansed. The product will be placed under the skin using a very fine needle. Once complete, you can return home with aftercare instructions from our team.
Restylane Results and Recovery
Restylane can take 1-2 weeks to fully settle in, although you’ll see instant results after your treatment session. For the first few days after treatment, avoid exercising or hot environments. If you have discomfort or swelling, you can use ice packs but avoid rubbing or massaging the area. You may experience some minor bruising or swelling, but this usually subsides within a few days. If you’re unsatisfied with your results after two weeks, you can return for additional units. The length of your results can depend on many different factors including your Restylane formulation, but dermal fillers typically last one year. You’ll enjoy a more naturally refreshed look without the downtime or higher cost of surgery.
