Nothing ages the face more than sunken, dark eyes, and deep wrinkles. Years of sun exposure, dramatic weight loss, genetics, and the normal aging process can result in a depletion of fat tissue and the loss of skin elasticity. Restylane is a dermal filler, designed to rejuvenate the appearance by replacing lost facial volume, smoothing facial lines, and easing wrinkles. Comprised of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance, Restylane restores a healthy fullness to the facial features and skin by binding itself to water molecules within the body. Hyaluronic Acid goes one step further to achieve great skin as well. It encourages the natural production of Collagen, which provides a continued improvement to the features.
Restylane is proven to fill in the deep facial creases, wrinkles, and fine lines that occur over time. The dermal filler can improve the look of scars, resulting from either acne or trauma. Additionally, Restylane has the ability to replace lost facial volume around the eyes and cheeks, as well as plumping the lips. Taking years off of the appearance, Restylane provides a simple, noninvasive solution for facial rejuvenation. *
The Ideal Candidate for Restylane:
Both men and women can experience excellent results with Restylane. Individuals seeking a soft, organic-looking facial rejuvenation, without the risks or recovery time needed with surgery, may make excellent candidates for Restylane. The injectable is proven safe for any ethnicity or skin type. As with any cosmetic procedure, patients should be in generally good health and have reasonable expectations for the treatment. *
Restylane Injections:
Restylane treatments are performed in the office, taking less than an hour to complete. Although Restylane injections are not painful, a local anesthesia or dental block will be first administered, to maximize patient comfort. Using a very small needle, Restylane is then injected into predetermined areas of the face.
There is no downtime required after a Restylane treatment. Initially, patients may experience mild swelling and redness, although these will resolve quickly. Bruising at the injection site is not unusual. This can take up to a week to fade. Results from a Restylane treatment will be immediately evident; these can last from six to nine months, or longer. After this time, patients will need to schedule a repeat treatment.
Restylane will remain soft and malleable under the skin for up to 72 hours. It is vital that patients remember not to rub vigorously or manipulate the treatment area for the first few days, so as not to displace the filler.
Schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Vitenas, or ask your aesthetician to see if a treatment with Restylane is right for your unique situation. The injectable can provide satisfactory results when used alone. When Restylane is combined with other restorative procedures, when combined with other cosmetic treatments, a bright, smooth, youthful appearance can be achieved. Most often, a dermal fill will be paired with Botox Cosmetic to treat wrinkles and fine lines, or IPL for a quick skin renewal. *
