What Is Restylane and How Does It Work?
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in skin tissue layers that maintains hydration. When injected into specific areas, Restylane adds volume while smoothing out wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid attracts and binds with water, which helps plump and hydrate the skin, resulting in a long-lasting refreshed, and more youthful look.
Who Is the Right Candidate for Restylane?
The ideal candidate for Restylane is seeking an option to address common signs of aging or enhance their facial features without undergoing surgery. Restylane is suitable for those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds, as well as individuals seeking to restore lost volume to areas such as the cheeks or lips. Candidates should be in good health overall and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment.
Restylane is versatile and can be customized to suit various aesthetic goals, making it a viable option for a wide range of individuals seeking a non-invasive and effective solution to enhance their facial appearance.
What Is the Procedure and Recovery Like with Restylane?
Restylane injections are quick and minimally invasive. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort if desired. Some temporary swelling, redness, or minor bruising at the injection sites may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
Following Restylane injections, patients should avoid excessive physical activities and heat exposure for a day or two but can otherwise resume their daily activities without downtime. Results begin to appear right away and continue to improve over the following weeks, offering a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
The longevity of Restylane results varies, generally lasting between six to eighteen months. The duration depends on factors like the specific formula used and the treated facial area. Fillers designed for highly mobile areas like the lips have a thinner and more flexible texture, resulting in a shorter duration compared to denser fillers, like those used for cheeks and wrinkle treatments.
