Restylane® is an FDA-approved dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. It restores lost volume, smooths wrinkles, plumps lips, and enhances facial contours with natural-looking results.
Restylane typically lasts 6–18 months, depending on the product used and treatment area. Lip treatments may last around 6–9 months, while areas like cheeks or jawline can last 12–18 months. Longevity depends on metabolism and lifestyle.
Most Restylane products are formulated with lidocaine to reduce discomfort. Injections are done with fine needles, and patients usually describe the sensation as a quick pinch with mild pressure. Numbing cream can be applied for additional comfort.
Restylane provides immediate results after injection, with added improvements as swelling subsides. Most patients see their final, natural-looking outcome within 1–2 weeks.
Yes, Restylane is FDA-approved and safe when performed by a licensed injector. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising that resolve within a few days. Choosing an experienced provider ensures safety and natural results.
Restylane is priced per syringe, with cost depending on the treatment area and type of Restylane used (such as Lyft, Kysse, or Refyne). Most patients require 1–2 syringes for optimal results. A consultation provides customized pricing.
Restylane can enhance lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and under-eyes while also smoothing smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines. Different Restylane products are designed for specific areas, allowing personalized treatment.
Before Restylane, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 24–48 hours to minimize bruising. After treatment, avoid exercise, heat, and touching the area for at least 24 hours. Following aftercare helps results last longer.
Good candidates for Restylane are healthy adults who want to restore lost volume, enhance facial features, or smooth wrinkles without surgery. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to lidocaine should avoid treatment.
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers. Restylane has a firmer, more granular texture that provides precision for sculpting, while Juvederm has a smoother consistency ideal for lips and fine lines. The choice depends on treatment goals and injector recommendation.
