Restylane

Despite its name, hyaluronic acid is a perfectly safe complex sugar normally found in your skin. There, it’s responsible for keeping your skin moisturized and supple. In a gel form, it’s a perfect candidate for providing volume since it can be safely metabolized by the body over time. Many dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvéderm® use hyaluronic acid. Restylane also contains a common anesthetic called lidocaine, which is often used by dentists or ophthalmologists. This anesthetic offers even greater comfort during injection.

Restylane requires a quick and easy injection process, but we understand that each patient has a different tolerance level. Although most patients can tolerate the process, we can supply a topical numbing cream for your comfort.

You might experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising after treatment, especially if you opt for lip augmentation. These side-effects usually subside within a few days, however, there is no downtime, so you will be able to  return to your regular schedule right after treatment.

Usually, only one treatment is necessary for best results. Your results are instantly noticeable and produce long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement for up to one year. Treating wrinkles with Restylane is fast and safe– and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.

Restylane and other injectable treatments are priced according to syringes or units, so it will depend upon the amount of product needed during treatment. Schedule to meet with our Patient Care Coordinator or ask your expert injector to receive a full estimate of your cost with Restylane.

One benefit of dermal filler treatments is that your results are immediately visible. This means you can assess whether your cosmetic goals have been achieved. If not, then hyaluronic acid can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, a specialized enzyme.
