Restylane® is a family of injectable gel treatments made with hyaluronic acid. Classified as dermal fillers, these injectables offer a non-surgical, downtime-free solution to restore volume and refine features. With numerous Restylane® formulations available, your dermatologist can assist in selecting the most suitable option tailored to your objectives and specific treatment areas.
Restylane® operates by drawing moisture to the injected skin area, resulting in expansion and improved skin support, effectively filling areas of diminished volume. Very popular for their natural and enduring outcomes, Restylane® treatments are a great way to boost confidence.
Restylane® caters to various cosmetic concerns, addressing:
Restylane® serves as an alternative to Juvéderm®, another family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Each option offers distinct advantages and can seamlessly integrate with other treatments like BOTOX®, chemical peels, or IPL. During your consultation, your board-certified dermatologist can create a personalized treatment plan to suit your needs.
Restylane® treatment is quick and easy, typically not necessitating a topical anesthetic due to the inclusion of lidocaine, a numbing agent, in the injections. After thorough cleansing of the treatment area, the product is delicately administered beneath the skin using a fine needle. Immediate results are seen with Restylane®, allowing for real-time adjustments to achieve desired outcomes.
No downtime is required post-Restylane® treatment, although it’s advisable to refrain from strenuous exercise, sweating, and exposure to high temperatures for the initial 24 hours. Gentle massaging of the treated area aids in product settling, while the application of an ice pack can alleviate discomfort. Temporary redness and swelling may occur, dissipating quickly. Ensure sun protection with SPF 30+ during the recovery phase.
Final Restylane® results typically manifest within one to two weeks post-treatment. Touch-ups, if necessary, should be scheduled after this settling period. Depending on the specific Restylane® formulation, results can last for one to two years.
