As we age, it seems gravity takes place quicker and quicker. The first signs of aging are commonly seen in the face; specifically in the “parentheses” of the face and under the eyes. Today, FDA-approved injectables, also known as fillers, can easily add volume and re-contour the shape of your face naturally; resulting in a younger, firmer you. Restylane has been widely used throughout the country with great results.

Restylane is a non-animal hyaluronic acid; a substance that naturally occurs in our body that adds volume to the folds of the face, known as nasolabial folds or “smile lines” and adds volume and shape to the lips. Restylane is injected into the skin to instantly plump up the skin and smooth away facial wrinkles. While Restylane is FDA –approved for facial wrinkles, it has also been cosmetically used for lip augmentation, acne scarring, between the eyes or hands.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that helps hydrate and add volume to our skin naturally. Hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries and wound repair. Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by a hair-like needle resulting in minimal discomfort. Typically, a treatment will take 20 – 30 minutes depending on the desired area.

To assure your comfort during the procedure, a topical or local anesthetic may be used. The aesthetic results of Restylane are natural and subtle, yet everyone will notice that you have removed years from your face. Men and women from all walks of life have experienced Restylane with great satisfaction for over 13 years. The best part about Restylane is the convenience! You can schedule your appointment during your lunch hour and return to work more youthful than ever!

Possible side effects may include redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, itching or discoloration, lasting duration of 5 days or less. These possible side effects occur only at the site of the injection and are mild or moderate in nature.

Restylane is FDA-approved to last a minimum of six months; however; lifestyle and age can have a minimal effect on the duration. If you’ve been wondering if Restylane is right for you, schedule at consultation at a medical spa or doctor’s office for more information.
