Restylane®

Manhattan Beauty Project - Canyon Lake, CA

As we get older, the collagen that gives our skin its structure and firm quality gradually decreases, and our facial skin begins to lose elasticity and volume. These factors, combined with the cumulative effects of gravity over time, cause the skin to sag and droop, leaving it with a tired, older appearance. Our Restylane® family of injectable dermal fillers is designed to imitate the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the skin, restoring lost volume and reducing the appearance of unsightly wrinkles and lines.

While the basic principles behind all Restylane® treatments are similar, different formulas have been developed to more effectively treat specific aesthetic problems.

How Long Do Restylane® Treatments Take?

Treatment with Restylane® is a quick, often called the “lunch hour” procedure. Depending on the number of areas treated, it can take anywhere from approximately 15 to 45 minutes. To optimize results in some cases, a touch-up treatment may be needed approximately two weeks after the initial treatment.

Result Duration

In a clinical study of people treated with Restylane®, 95% still showed improvement at 18 months after treatment. Like Juvéderm®, Restylane® is a cross-linked, hyaluronic acid dermal filler, specially designed to last longer. How long results last with Restylane® can depend on several factors, including the site of the injection, how the injection is performed, and how fast your body metabolizes the Restylane® filler.

Side Effects with Restylane®

Treatment with Restylane® in our Canyon Lake office has a very low rate of complications. Common symptoms include mild redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort at injection sites. These minor side effects tend to resolve within hours or days of treatment.

As Restylane® is made of hyaluronic acid, a substance occurring naturally in the body, there is less chance of an allergic reaction than with other fillers. Most patients with allergies to animal products can receive treatment with Restylane®. No pre-testing is required.

Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane® Injections?

Most women and men can benefit from Restylane® injections, whether they want to add volume to the lips, enhance the contours of the face, or rejuvenate the skin. You may be a good candidate for Restylane® treatment if your appearance could be improved by:

• Enhancing and adding volume to the lips
• Augmenting the cheeks to create of more youthful, aesthetically pleasing profile
• Smoothing the appearance of laugh lines, nasolabial folds (from the nose to the mouth corners), and marionette lines (running from the mouth corners along the sides of the chin)
