 Restylane FAQ
What is Restylane?
Restylane is an injectable gel, which enhances your natural looks by restoring your skin's volume, creating softness and revitalizing your appearance.
What are the benefits of Restylane?
Restylane can instantly soften tell tale ageing lines or improve your looks by enhancing your natural features, such as your cheeks or lips. Restylane restores volume, improves skin elasticity, and smoothes niggling lines and imperfections. Long lasting but not permanent, Restylane allows you to stay in control of your looks.
How does Restylane work?
Restylane is a crystal-clear gel produced bio-technologically using stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid and water. The hyaluronic acid is a tissue-friendly substance closely resembling the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. By replenishing nature's supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane revitalizes and plumps up the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and giving a softer look.
What does Restylane treatment involve?
Restylane is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle. The gel provides hydration and structure and gives natural volume to smooth away the appearance of lines, enhance facial shape, or create fuller lips.
The treatment is very quick and usually takes less than 40 minutes. The treatment benefits can normally be seen instantly and Restylane does not affect facial expression. No skin test is required because Restylane does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
What areas can be treated?
Restylane treatments can be used to smooth out facial lines, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin. It is a subtle approach to enhancing looks naturally.
The most common areas treated are:
- from the nose to the angle of the mouth (the nasolabial folds)
- lips (enhancement)
- cheeks and chin (shaping)
- back of the hands, face (skin rejuvenation)
- between the eyebrows (the glabellar lines)
During your pre-treatment consultation, the exact cost of the treatment will be determined on the areas and the Restylane product used.
How long does Restylane treatment effect last?
One of the great advantages of Restylane is that the effects are long lasting but not permanent. Facial lines and facial shaping: follow-up treatment is usually needed after 6-12 months. Lip enhancement: follow-up treatment is normally needed in about 6 months. Duration depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded by the patient and the injection technique of the practitioner.
Are there any side effects with Restylane?
Most people can benefit from Restylane treatment.
Restylane should not be used in or near skin sites where there are or have been active skin disease, inflammation or related conditions. Nor should it be injected into an area where a permanent implant has been placed. Restylane has not been tested in pregnant or breast-feeding women. During your pretreatment consultation, you should thoroughly discuss your medical history with your practitioner
Does Restylane treatment hurt?
Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anesthetic cream is often used. Another form of anesthesia, a dental block, is used to numb the area particularly when enhancing lips.
Is there any recovery time needed with Restylane?
You can expect slight redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching and/or bruising following Restylane treatment. This is the same as you might expect with any type of injection. However, the discomfort is temporary and generally disappears after a few days. With lip enhancement, it is wise to choose your treatment time with care since your lips may become swollen and appear slightly uneven for a few days.
