WALNUT CREEKRestylane® is a popular cosmetic injectable treatment that can help you achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance. We recommend Restylane® as a safe and effective way to add volume to the skin. This family of dermal fillers can smooth lines, wrinkles, and deep creases. It can also restore volume to the cheeks or lips for more youthful fullness.
What is Restylane® Dermal Filler?
Restylane® is a family of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that improve lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. The Restylane® family includes a range of formulas to treat numerous conditions. Members of this family can last anywhere from six months to two years. They include Restylane® Kysse, the most advanced lip filler available, and Restylane® Lyft for deep lines and wrinkles.
How Does Restylane® Work?
Restylane® uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Restylane® works by adding volume to areas of the face such as the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is specially formulated to have a thicker consistency, allowing it to add more volume than other fillers. The filler is injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure is usually done in a doctor’s office and typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.
How Long Does it Take for Restylane® to Settle?
The effects of Restylane® can be seen immediately after the procedure. The filler can take several days to settle into the treated area. The process of the filler settling into the skin is called “integration.” During this time, the treated area may appear slightly swollen, with slight redness and tenderness. This is normal and should resolve within a few days. Follow your injector’s aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol.
What Can Restylane® Treat?
Areas Restylane® can treat include nasolabial folds and marionette lines. This dermal filler family also treats volume loss from the cheeks and fine lines around the mouth. Restylane® Kysse is an advanced lip filler that gives lips flexible, natural-looking fullness. Your expert injector will choose the best formula for you.
Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane®?
Whether you are a good candidate for Restylane® treatment depends on several factors, including your overall health, skin type, and specific concerns. In general, good candidates for Restylane® include:
- Individuals who have moderate to severe wrinkles or lines that they would like to reduce
- People who have lost volume in their cheeks or lips and would like to restore it
- People with realistic expectations of the results
We recommend letting an expert injector assess your individual needs and help determine if Restylane® is the right treatment.
I finally had coolsculpting on my tummy and what a surprisingly easy treatment it was. Ashley the nurse was fantastic and she used the new hand piece that is smaller and faster. It was painless except for the 2-minute massage after the treatment but not bad at all. I’m a little sore today but this was easy-breezy and I can’t wait to see my results. I highly recommend it.
