What is Restylane?

Restylane is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body. It attracts and binds to water, which plumps up the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Restylane is FDA-approved for facial wrinkles and folds.

What areas can Restylane treat?

Restylane is used to treat smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and vertical lip lines. Restylane can also be used to fill hollow cheeks and aging hands.

What results can I expect with Restylane?

Restylane filler results are typically seen immediately after the treatment. Some patients notice results after one treatment, while others require a follow-up treatment to achieve their desired results.

Restylane fillers help restore youthful fullness to the face by smoothing away wrinkles and folds. Restylane can also be used to add volume to the lips, enhancing their shape.

Is Restylane the right treatment for me?

Restylane is an ideal treatment option for patients looking to restore youthful volume and fullness to their face and lips. The hyaluronic acid-based formula of Restylane works to plump and smooth out wrinkles, adding subtle volume to targeted areas.

Restylane can be used to address the following concerns:

- Stubborn Nasolabial Folds

- Thin Lips

- Thin, Wrinkled Skin Around Mouth and Nose

What should I expect during my Restylane procedure?

Restylane fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your skin. Hyaluronic acid replenishes moisture in the skin, and it also helps your skin retain its natural collagen. Over time, your hyaluronic acid levels decrease, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.

During the procedure, one of our dentists will carefully inject the Restylane filler into target areas on your face. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and most patients experience minimal to no discomfort.

What should I expect after

Once you’ve had your Restylane® treatment, your treatment provider will talk to you about what you can expect. This includes when you should schedule the next treatment, as well as what you should and should not do after your procedure.

Restylane® will normally begin to work right away. Within a few days after your treatment, you should notice that your wrinkles are much less noticeable. Most patients get the best results after their first treatment.
