Common questions about Restylane

What is Restylane?

Restylane consists of hyaluronic acid--a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It dissolves naturally with time and requires no allergy testing before treatment.

How long will my treatment take?

A typical procedure will last about 30 minutes. But, the length of time may vary, depending on the level of correction you require.

What does Restylane treat?

Restylane is effective for smoothing out wrinkles, plumping up lips, and shaping facial contours. The most common treatment areas are the frown lines between the eyebrows, the lines that extend from the bottom of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth, and the lips. Very deep wrinkles may be difficult to correct.

Are there any side effects?

Reactions to Restylane are rare and generally consist of temporary swelling, tenderness, pain, itching, and discoloration around the injection site.

Will my treatment hurt?

Restylane is injected directly into your skin. So you may notice a slight pricking sensation during the injection. You may receive a topical anesthetic if you need it. You will normally require a local anesthetic injection before undergoing lip enhancement treatment. After treatment you may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness or itching around the injection site. This is normal and will disappear within a few days.

How soon will I see the results?

You'll notice the results immediately.

Can Restylane be removed?

No. But, Restylane dissolves naturally over time.

How long will Restylane last?

How long Restylane lasts depends on several factors including; your skin structure, lifestyle, and age. Most people choose to repeat Restylane treatment about a year after wrinkle treatment and within 6 months after lip enhancement.
