About the treatment
Restylane is a family of smooth hyaluronic acid gels, each formulation matched to the area being treated, which makes it the filler Elume Medspa in Fairfax, Virginia uses for detailed work on the lips and the area under the eyes, administered by a licensed physician assistant.
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 are generally well tolerated, with results that typically last 6 to 18 months.
The treatment

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.
Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider 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.
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.

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