Whether you’re seeking to add volume to cheeks or smooth out wrinkles, understanding the various Restylane products and their specific applications will help you make an informed decision.
What Is Restylane and How Does It Work?
Restylane is a filler composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your skin that helps maintain moisture and elasticity. As you age, your natural hyaluronic acid levels decline, leading to visible signs of aging.
Restylane works by temporarily replenishing your skin’s hyaluronic acid. This restores volume and smoothness to your skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
During the treatment, our qualified injector will inject Restylane into the targeted areas. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. You might see results immediately after the session, with improvements continuing for several weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates with your skin.
Types of Restylane Treatments
Restylane offers a range of products, each designed for specific areas and concerns:
- Restylane-L: Enhances lips and corrects moderate facial wrinkles.
- Restylane Lyft: Provides lift and volume to the cheeks and corrects age-related midface contour deficiencies.
- Restylane Refyne & Defyne: Specifically formulated to treat laugh lines, these products ensure your facial expressions remain natural-looking.
We will discuss which product is most suitable for your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
Following a Restylane injection, you may notice some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment areas. These effects are usually minimal and fade within a few days. It’s important to follow our team’s aftercare instructions to support healing and optimize your results.
Avoid strenuous activities and extensive sun or heat exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours after your treatment. You should also keep your skin well-hydrated and use gentle skin care products.
