Restylane® – Improve Overall Facial Appearance

Learn More About this Dermal Filler

Restylane injections offer a non-invasive non-surgical treatment for patients who want to enrich the appearance of the face.

Restylane injections are non-surgical treatment options that enhance the overall appearance of the face by lifting sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles and ‘lifting’ or contouring the face.

Restylane®

Restylane is a dermal filler that is injected under the skin. Restylane can also repair nasolabial folds, diminish acne scars, add volume and boost lips, develop or augment chin and nose shape and contour, plump up tear troughs and sunken cheeks.

Restylane injections offer a non-invasive non-surgical treatment for those patients who want to develop and enrich the overall appearance of their face but are not ready for more invasive treatments.

Dr. Craft and your enhancement team will work with you to create a non-surgical plan to enrich the overall appearance of the face using Restylane.

Hyaluronic Acid

There are many dermal fillers on the market, however, Restylane is one of the thinnest and lightest dermal filler formulas. The lightness of Restylane is advantageous as it diminishes common minor side effects including bruising and bumps. Restylane can also be easily injected and applied to repair wrinkles and marks on shallow and fine skin such as around the eyes, mouth and lips.

Restylane is a synthetic hyaluronic acid filler. Hyaluronic acid natural occurs in human bodies and is found in the fluid surrounding the eyes, in cartilage and joints and in skin tissue. Hyaluronic acid is also injected into damaged joints to increase padding in the joints. Synthetic hyaluronic acid can be injected into the face. When injected the acid acts like an expanded pillow supporting facial skin and tissues that have lost plumpness or smoothness because of aging of environmental damage. When injected the acid also makes skin look fresh and bright by encouraging water to the surface of the face. The gel fragments in Restylane attract and attach to water molecules as they lower, maintaining results for about six months.

Procedure

Restylane Injections

Restylane injections are a non-invasive non-surgical procedure that is generally completed within a half hour. Restylane injections can include anywhere between seven and twenty small injections.

Dr. Craft and your enhancement team will work with you to identify the problem areas to be treated with the Restylane injections. Dr. Craft may also consider Restylane injections in combination with other enhancement injections. If necessary, you may be injected with lidocaine to freeze the areas that will be injected. Dr. Craft will then inject Restylane into the appropriate areas.

You will notice results immediately. There may be some minor swelling and bruising but after the procedure you can return to your everyday activities. After the injections, you will minimize exposure of the treated area to the sun for 24 hours. Depending on the areas treated and your specific skin condition, Dr. Craft will explain after care to you following the procedure. Specifically, to decrease the risk and intensity of bruising, stay away from aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for at least one week before your procedure. You can apply ice following the procedure to minimize and swelling and discomfort.

Considerations

Although Restylane injections are non-invasive procedures, there are some considerations before choosing Restylane injections including:

  • Restylane injections should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components.
  • Restylane injections should not be used on areas that are irritated or infected.
  • Restylane injections should not be used in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Restylane injections should not be used in people under 18.

The most common side effects for Restylane injections include minor swelling, bruising or discomfort to the treated area. There have also been a few reported cases of blindness and nerve paralysis. In extremely rare cases, a blood vessel can be accidentally ruptured leading to necrosis (tissue death), embolism or infraction. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also cause small bumps to appear under the skin, however, the Restylane formula generally avoids this side effect.

Before Restylane injections you will discuss your goals and medical history with Dr. Craft and your enhancement team. It is important that during this time you discuss any chin or neck surgery you’ve had, any cosmetic enhancements you’ve had done to your face, neck or chin and your medical history.
