Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marisa Lawrence offers a wide range of filler treatments to help correct aging in the face, addressing lost volume, lines, and wrinkles. Restylane is one of the most popular brands of dermal filler injections because it treats multiple concerns with different formulas for results that are long-lasting. It is made with a synthetic version of the body's natural hyaluronic acid (HA), giving the skin a natural, softer look that is more supple and full.

Restylane injectable treatments are great for any woman or man over the age of 21 who is looking to rejuvenate their appearance. Since it has different formulas, your procedure will be individualized to suit your needs and goals. Restylane can help you correct visible signs of aging, including fine lines on your face, or improve the volume in your lips and cheeks. It can also treat moderate or severe wrinkles, like laugh lines, frown lines, Crow's feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. Several formulas are mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so you should disclose any known allergies during your consultation with Dr. Lawrence to avoid a reaction.

Restylane dermal injections take place inside the treatment room at one of our facilities. A numbing cream can be applied for increased patient comfort if preferred. The treatment is injected into your skin through a very fine needle and gently massaged so it fills the needed areas. Multiple injections will be needed, followed by a cold, gentle compress to decrease swelling. Each Restylane formula is administered with a similar technique but on different areas of the face targeted to fit your specific needs and goals.

When your Restylane procedure is done, you can return to your day. Your recovery timeframe will depend on what is being treated so talk to your injector about what to expect. The injection sites will appear slightly red and swollen, but this often goes away after several hours. Bruising can appear, but this can usually be concealed with makeup. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activities, like exercise for 1 – 2 days, and you should sleep upright for at least the first night. Most patients will experience some improvements immediately after the injections, but it often takes 1 – 2 weeks before the final results appear. Restylane injection treatments generally last about a year, depending on the exact product used.

How much does Restylane cost?
Your cost for Restylane treatments will vary based on many factors, including which formula is used, which area(s) is being treated, how much filler is needed, and more. During your initial consultation, your injector will listen to your areas of concern before developing a personalized Restylane treatment plan. From there, your cost can be estimated and the payment options discussed.

What is Restylane most commonly used for?
Restylane has many products that are each designed to make you look renewed but still natural. During your consultation, your injector can talk about the different formulas of Restylane and which one matches your goals. Restylane Defyne, Lyft, and Refyne correct mild to deep facial lines, wrinkles, and folds. Restylane Silk and Lyft add volume to the hands, cheeks, and lips.

How often do I need to come back for a touch-up?
Usually, Restylane results can last between 6 – 18 months. This will vary, depending on which Restylane formula is used, where it is injected, and other factors. During your consultation, your injector will make your Restylane treatment plan, which will include how often you should schedule appointments for treatments to maintain your results.

Do Restylane injections hurt?
You may feel some discomfort as the fine needle is injected under your skin. Prior to your treatment, a local anesthetic can be applied to help you feel more comfortable. After the treatment, a cold compress will be applied to reduce swelling and bruising.
