What Is Restylane? 

Restylane is a safe dermal filler that’s been approved for professional use to help people breathe new life into their skin. It’s made, in part, from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the body, and it’s responsible for collagen creation, which is an essential plumping agent for the skin. This filler is particularly impressive at restoring volume to the face, especially in areas where skin elasticity has decreased over time. It also helps the body create and use more collagen, which has long-term benefits. This treatment has a high rate of satisfaction among our patients. 

Who Is a Candidate for Restylane? 

Because of the convenience of this treatment, it’s an excellent option for many people. Candidates are those who want to achieve plumper, more youthful skin without the use of an invasive procedure. During your consultation, we’ll make sure that you don’t have any allergies or other conditions that might exempt you from being able to receive this filler. Candidates should also be prepared to talk to us openly about their goals to make sure that we can deliver results that are catered to their needs. Finally, candidates should have reasonable expectations. While the results of Restylane are undeniable, it cannot stop the aging process, and follow-up treatments will be needed to maintain your skin’s plumpness. 

What to Expect During a Restylane Procedure     

Before the day of the procedure, we’ll have given you a detailed preparation plan so you’re ready to go when you arrive. You’ll be asked to stop taking certain medications, especially ones that prevent blood clotting. 

Restylane treatments are remarkably quick–they usually don’t take us longer than 30 minutes to complete. We’ll give you a numbing agent so you won’t feel any discomfort. Once it’s taken effect, we’ll use a hyper-fine needle to deliver the treatment, massaging your skin to make sure it’s distributed. The amount of injections that’s needed will vary between patients. 

Restylane Aftercare 

Restylane results can last for up to half a year before another treatment is needed, and results can be seen fully after a matter of weeks. You might have some bruising or swelling initially, but these typically resolve on their own. We’ll give you all the information you need on how to make sure that you recover smoothly so you can enjoy your results in no time.
