Restylane and Perlane are part of a group collectively known as 'Fillers'. As these products are identical to natural substances in the body it means they are completely natural and safe. Restylane injections provide instant and long-lasting wrinkle correction. It is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler which restores volume and fullness to skin. This multi-use product line corrects fine to moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds of all types, from the fine lines around the lips to deep nasolabial folds. A highly versatile filler, Restylane is also used to increase fullness and enhance the lips, define the lip line, fill scars, and plump up facial areas that have lost their youthful appearance. One very common instance of "facial deflation" is the area under the eyes that becomes hollow, creating a worn-out, tired look.
Restylane is used to fill out or plump up lines on your face that have been created by the loss of elasticity in the skin as you age. By restoring the volume to these areas your skin will look smoother and softer, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance.
Areas of use:
Lips that are soft and full help create a beaming smile and a more confident appearance.
Now, with these latest injectables like Restylane and perlane, your lips can be contoured to create the size and shape you desire and restore the lost fullness that time has depleted.
What will I look like after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling,
tenderness, and/or an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal
result of the injection. The discomfort is temporary and generally disappears
within a few days. After a lip treatment, the lips may become swollen and look
somewhat uneven. This can persist for a few days (up to a week). If the
discomfort continues, please contact your physician
How long will a treatment session take?
Treatment with Restylane is a very quick and easy process. As no pre-test is
needed, the treatment can be carried out immediately. A treatment generally
takes 30 minutes. Depending on the correction you wish to have performed, the
length of time may differ.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most people find the injections relatively painless. They may prick a little. If
you like, a topical anesthetic can be applied to the area being treated prior to
your procedure. When enhancing the lips, a local anesthetic injection is often
given as this area is the most sensitive.
What should patients do prior to treatment?
Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's
Wort, and high doses of Vitamin E supplements one week prior to
procedure. This will help minimize any bruising or bleeding at the infection
site.
Are there precautions after my treatment with Restylane?
Yes. During the first 48 hours after your treatment, do not massage or
rub the treated area. If you have had a lip enhancement, avoid puckering your
lips for the first two days after the treatment. Until the initial swelling and
redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. in a
sauna or by sunbathing) or extreme cold.
What other treatments are typically used along with Restylane?
Quite frequently, our patients will also have Botox� injections to soften the
dynamic wrinkles caused by movement such as frowning, squinting, or lip pursing.
Utilizing both procedures simultaneously results in a smooth, relaxed, and
younger appearance.
