Chicago Restylane Side Effects

Restylane treatments have a lot going for them and may produce no side effects. The periodic injection of a benign cosmetic filler in the face or lips produces and maintains a more youthful and healthy appearance, without the discomfort or recovery time of surgical facelifts. The procedure is nearly painless, convenient and moderate in cost. There are, however, a few doctor guidelines that patients should follow to determine their eligibility for Restylane treatment and their susceptibility to potential side effects.

Naperville and Chicago Area Providers Keep Restylane Treatments Safe

The best way for patients to ensure that the product is accurately prescribed and administered is to select a qualified clinician. A doctor or dermatologist who is associated with a medical spa will have plenty of experience and insight into various patient reactions to Restylane. They can prepare patients for successful treatments and minimize any side effects. They will suggest avoiding aspirin and Vitamin E prior to treatment sessions and may steer patients with allergies to certain bacterial proteins away entirely.

Many patients have no reaction to Restylane treatment, but a minority can experience redness, bruising or swelling for a day or two following the injections. Cold sores may appear at the injection site. These symptoms are not allergic reactions, because the product contains no animal proteins as some collagens do. They are usually related to skin sensitivity.

Good aftercare advice will improve the treatment outcome and help to ward off side effects. Advanced skin care products can also help to maintain Restylane's results longer. In Naperville and other Chicago suburbs, NuU Medspa offers certified medical care in a luxurious spa setting.
