How Does Restylane Work?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally contained in your skin. It helps your skin maintain proper hydration and elasticity, as well as a supple, youthful appearance. As you get older, your body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid diminishes, resulting in lost volume, drier skin, and the development of facial wrinkles. Restylane replenishes your supply of hyaluronic acid in order to fill in wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance.

During your treatment at our office in Maryland or DC, Restylane is injected into the deeper layers of your skin, adding volume and bolstering the support structures responsible for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Because hyaluronic acid binds to water, Restylane will provide hydration benefits as well. This will help provide for improved skin texture and tone.

Is Restylane Right For Me?

Restylane is an effective way to address the following aesthetic concerns:

Nasolabial folds (lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (lines extending from the mouth to the chin)
Thin lips
Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
Lost facial volume in the cheeks
Dark circles underneath the eyes

In addition, good candidates for Restylane:

Should be over the age of 21
Have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure
Aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding

If you prefer a minimally invasive, non-surgical facial rejuvenation solution and would like to correct one of the concerns listed above, Restylane treatments in Maryland and DC are most likely a good option for you.

What Areas Can Restylane Treat?

Restylane is a high-quality gel formulation of hyaluronic acid. It is specifically formulated to behave just like the HA that is naturally produced by the body. It helps to instantly and visibly reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face. Restylane is used to increase the volume and fullness of the skin. This corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth, also referred to as nasolabial folds. In addition, Restylane is also used for lip enhancement and augmentation in our adult patients in Maryland and DC.

What Are The Benefits Of Restylane?

The benefits of Restylane are many, but most importantly, this dermal filler can provide natural-looking results with just one treatment. That’s because Restylane works with your body, not against it.

In addition to the natural-looking results you can achieve with Restylane injections in Maryland and DC, this dermal filler also offers a number of other advantages, including:

Minimal discomfort during treatment
Fast treatment sessions that usually last less than 30 minutes
Immediate results that continue to improve for several months
Low risk of allergic reactions as Restylane contains no animal proteins

When Will I Be Able To See The Results?

You will see the results of your Restylane treatment in Maryland and DC immediately. To maintain the results, you may need to have further injections with time to reduce the signs of aging that will naturally and gradually occur.

How Long Do Restylane Results Last?

The results of your Restylane treatment in Maryland and DC will depend on several factors, such as the depth of the wrinkles or folds being treated and the type of skin you have. Although some wrinkle fillers are temporary and only last several months, Restylane continues working below the skin surface for up to one year, so you enjoy natural-looking results that last! Patients often schedule their next Restylane injection appointment before they leave our office so they can maintain their more youthful appearance longer!

Are There Any Side Effects From Restylane?

There is a risk of specific side effects with Restylane, including bruising or swelling at the injection site. These side effects are typically rather mild and resolve within a week. You may also experience temporary redness, tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, itching, and discoloration at the injection site. These side effects should also resolve on their own within the week. If you have any concerns regarding expected side effects, please talk to our board-certified plastic surgeons in Maryland and DC, before Restylane treatment.

What Should I Expect During My Restylane Treatment?

During your Restylane treatment session in Maryland and DC, your surgeon will cleanse your skin and then inject the dermal filler into your wrinkles or folds using a very fine needle. The entire treatment typically takes fewer than 30 minutes, and you should see immediate results which will continue to improve over the next few weeks as the Restylane gel integrates into your skin.

Are Restylane Dermal Fillers Safe?

Yes, Restylane dermal fillers are considered safe for most people. However, with any cosmetic injectable, there is a risk of side effects. Be sure to talk to our team about your medical history and any concerns you may have before treatment.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft contains larger and denser particles than the traditional Restylane formulation. It is injected deeper into the skin and is effective at restoring lost volume in the mid face region. It is also an excellent solution to reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Often, our aestheticians in Maryland and DC will combine Restylane Lyft with less dense filler such as the traditional Restylane formulation in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

Restylane Silk

If you would like to plump up your lips or address wrinkles around the mouth, Restylane Silk may be an excellent solution. This formulation uses smaller, smoother particles than other Restylane options in Maryland and DC, making it ideally suited to address areas of concern around the mouth.

Restylane Silk can be used to address the following aesthetic concerns with your lips:

Thin lips
Asymmetrical lips
Vertical lip lines
Cupid’s bow
Philtrum column

Restylane Results

You should start seeing results shortly after your treatment. In general, your results may last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area being treated and the Restylane formulation used. During your initial consultation, our Maryland and DC aestheticians will give you a more specific estimate of how long you can expect your Restylane results to last.
