FAQS FOR Restylane®
Restylane is a brand of injectable dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. It is commonly used for lip enhancement, wrinkle reduction, and restoring facial volume lost due to aging.
Restylane works by using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, to attract and retain water. This helps plump the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and fill in areas that have lost volume, such as under the eyes, around the mouth, and in the cheeks.
The results from Restylane treatments typically last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and the type of Restylane product used. Areas with higher movement, like the lips, may require touch-ups sooner, while more stable areas, like the cheeks, may last longer.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during a Restylane injection, as the product contains lidocaine, a numbing agent. However, some individuals may feel slight pain or pressure during the procedure. Topical numbing cream can also be applied to enhance comfort before treatment.
Side effects from Restylane are generally mild and temporary. They can include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or lumpiness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week.
