Facial Rejuvenation with Restylane
Restylane is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. Because it is injectable, Restylane immediately provides fullness after administration. And its biocompatible formulation means it is safe and effective.
Restylane is an effective cosmetic treatment for wrinkle smoothing and lip augmentation. It can also improve the shape of one’s facial contours. The most common areas for treatment are:
- Lips
- Laugh lines (extending from your nose to the corners of your mouth)
- Marionette lines (extending from the corners of your mouth downward)
- Lines above your upper lip
- Lines around the corners of your mouth
Our experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Basil Pakeman can help you determine if Restylane, Radiesse, BOTOX® or another treatment will soften the facial wrinkles with which you are unhappy.
What is Restylane treatment like?
Restylane treatment is fast, simple, and requires no downtime. One of our injection specialists injects the dermal filler into the areas to be treated, and the whole process takes about an hour. Most patients see immediate results, with many experiencing further improvement over the coming days and weeks. Restylane can last between 4 and 9 months before the effect begins to fade and you will need a re-treatment.
Restylane carries little risk of an allergic reaction. Its unique hydrophilic formula allows Restylane to remain in your skin for many months. Side effects are rare but may include temporary swelling or bruising at the site of injection. Restylane has been safely used to treat more than 11 million patients in 65 countries worldwide.
What to Expect During Your Restylane Treatment?
Restylane, and other injectable treatments such as Radiesse, have the advantage of being non-surgical. There are no incisions, no sutures, and minimal to no downtime. Many patients are looking for this type of convenient facial rejuvenation. If you are interested in more dramatic, longer-lasting facial rejuvenation, you may want to consider cosmetic surgery, which can often be combined with injectable fillers for optimal results.
