Restylane Treatment for Your Face

 

What is Restylane?

Restylane filler is an FDA-approved dermal filler and an acid-based hyaluronic acid filler used for smoothing facial wrinkles. The product comes in different types that can be applied to various needs. They include:

• Concentrate on the fine lines around areas of the face and neck.

• Lip enhancement

• volume addition to the cheeks

• Under the eyes, dark circles minimization

This facial filler works for everyone to get rid of moderate-to-severe facial marionette lines, deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, or laugh lines. It has minimal downtime and recovery time. However, highly-trained board-certified providers should administer the product for optimal results.

Nevertheless, you should refrain from using Restylane if you are:

• Immunocompromised

• Allergic to bacterial proteins

• Under the prescription of blood thinners

• If you are breastfeeding or expecting a child,

• under the age of 21 years.

Cosmetic Use of Restylane Products

Restylane filler has an impressive impact on eliminating facial wrinkles and folds. Here are our informational findings on each of the products’ options:

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk is a lip filler. It helps in improving your lips by making them lush and youthful. When considering the general skincare routine for your face, you should not leave out your lips. If you have thin or narrow lips or are considering lip augmentation, this product is for you. The results of using the product are fuller, pouty lips.

It results in naturally beautiful, glossy, and supple lips. Silk is exclusively available to consumers over 21 years of age.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft improves the texture of the cheeks. During the aging process, your skin may often lose its fluffy cushion due to the loss of collagen. This makes it look wrinkled and flat. Lyft is an injectable gel that contains hyaluronic acid naturally produced by the skin.

It restores your cheekbones to their youthful texture while also removing the nasolabial fold from your face. The injections are non-surgical with a simple procedure that allows you to bring back the youthful appearance of your cheeks and mid-face.

Restylane Refyne

The Refyne formula can help one reduce the appearance of smile lines around their mouth. But it is not for the rest of your complexion. It enables you to create a natural appearance without paralyzing your muscles.

Refine hyaluronic acid is always available within a dermal filler. It restores your supple facial texture by filling in the gaps or hollow areas around the mouth.

Restylane Defyne

This product helps to reduce the severity of the lines from your nose to your lips as you age. It’s also used for the lines running from the corners of your mouth towards your chin. It delivers hyaluronic acid to the skin using XpresHan technology and a gel combination.

How It Works:

Restylane works when placed underneath your skin. It helps regain your skin’s collagen and other tissues, smoothing it out and lifting the skin. It also helps in making the skin look plumper. However, hyaluronic acid in these products clings to your skin, where it gets injected.

The water in the acid provides volume. In addition, the acid attracts more water to enhance the recently added surface and volume preservation. You should, however, get medical advice if you’re considering any product for your face that includes Restylane.

Procedure 

Research proves Restylane to be a relatively easy cosmetic procedure. Done chiefly with a topical anesthetic to help minimize any discomfort,

Restylane injections take a maximum of one hour. The time taken depends on the doctor’s experience and the condition of your facial skin. For example, it might take longer if you have deeper recessions to be corrected.

First, the doctor chooses the injection site in the treatment site areas. He then cleans the specific treatment area with an antiseptic. Next, the doctor injects the Restylane underneath your skin into the treatment areas using an ultrafine needle at different levels.

Risks or Adverse Reactions

Any procedure has risks or side effects, and Restylane may not be different. The common side effects of Restylane may include:

• Allergic reaction

• Bursting or bleeding at the injection site

• Infection
• Irregularities when doing the filling, like the firmness of your skin,

• Headache during or after the injection

• Bruising after the injection

• Swelling

• Pain or itching at the injection site.

Restylane side effects typically resolve after 7–18 days, depending on the treatment area.

Expectations After Restylane Filler Treatment

Healing time continuously varies depending on each person and how many injections you receive during the treatment. After Restylane filler treatment, you should limit your exposure to the sun to prevent additional swelling or bruising. When you receive several injections, you will need to rest for a few days before going back to your daily routine.

Restylane results are usually seen after a week. But effects are seen immediately since the product adds volume when injected. The injections are not permanent fillers and last up to 12 months. However, maintaining results requires regular rounds of injections. It also depends on the type of Restylane you are using.

The fillers last between 6 and 18 months, and you won’t have to change your daily habits once you’re completely healed.

To minimize bruising from a Restylane filler treatment, you need to stop taking the following two weeks before your appointment:

• Fish oil

• Vitamin E

• St. John’s wort
