About Restylane

Restylane is an FDA-approved dermal filler designed to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours for a naturally youthful appearance. Using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, Restylane treatments offer safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

How Does Restylane Work?

Restylane uses hyaluronic acid to add volume and smooth lines by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin. When injected into targeted areas, it restores lost volume, softens wrinkles, and enhances contours. Over time, the product naturally integrates with your skin for a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Why Consider A Restylane Treatment?

Restylane offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation:

  • Treats multiple areas, including the face, lips, and hands, for comprehensive results
  • Achieve a refreshed look without the downtime or risks of surgery
  • Results typically last 6–18 months, depending on the treatment area and product used
  • Different formulations address specific concerns, ensuring a personalized treatment
  • Noticeable improvements are visible immediately after the procedure
  • The smooth hyaluronic acid gel integrates seamlessly with your skin

Assessment & Review

Your Restylane treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our licensed nurse practitioners.

During this session, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the best Restylane product and treatment plan for your needs. This personalized approach ensures optimal results tailored to your unique facial structure.

Treatment Prep

On the day of your appointment, the treatment areas will be cleansed to ensure a sterile environment.

A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure. Your provider will also carefully mark the injection sites to achieve precise and symmetrical results.

Restylane Injection

Using a fine needle or cannula, your nurse practitioner will administer Restylane into the targeted areas with expert precision. The treatment typically takes 15–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Some Restylane products contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort during the injections. Throughout the procedure, your provider will ensure an even distribution for natural-looking results.

Care After Procedure

After your procedure, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and generally subside within a few days.

Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities, direct sunlight, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. Results are often visible immediately, with full effects becoming more apparent as any minor swelling subsides.

FAQs

Is Restylane Better Than Botox?

Restylane and Botox serve different purposes, so one isn’t necessarily “better” than the other—it depends on your specific cosmetic goals. Restylane is a dermal filler used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contours, making it ideal for areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. Botox, on the other hand, is a neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines.

How Long Does Restylane Last?

Restylane results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area. Follow-up treatments can help maintain your results over time.

What Areas Can Restylane Treat?

Restylane can be used to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance contours in areas such as the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, and hands.
