Restylane
Restylane® is an injectable filler that helps patients instantly fill out creases and lines. Restylane is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in the body.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Our practice does not offer Botox injections or dermal fillers at the moment due to Covid 19 restrictions. We will inform you once these services are available to our patients again. Thank for your understanding.
HA-based fillers are among the most popular nonsurgical, wrinkle-reducing treatments available, with millions of treatments worldwide each year.
How It Works
Hyaluronic acid includes a molecule that is a natural structural component of skin, which is why the body readily accepts it. What makes it so useful in dermal fillers is its ability to absorb and retain moisture.
Restylane and other HA fillers work because moisture is one of the primary characteristics of smooth, youthful skin. Aging skin loses moisture, losing firmness and elasticity, which causes some of the fine lines and wrinkles you begin noticing as you get older.
Benefits of Restylane
Restylane is a smooth, clear gel that “flows” when injected and goes in very evenly. It is an excellent filler if your goal is to restore volume to medium-depth wrinkles and folds.
Other Restylane benefits:
- No downtime
- Quick treatment (less than 30 minutes)
- Results that may last up to 12 months
There are few side effects associated with Restylane, similar to those you may experience with other fillers. The most common is slight bruising. Allergic reactions are rare because the active ingredient, HA, occurs naturally in the body.
For this reason, there is no allergy testing prior to getting HA filler injections. Swelling may occur, but it typically resolves within a day or 2 of the procedure.
