How Long Do Restylane® Treatments Take?
Treatment with Restylane® is a quick, often called the “lunch hour” procedure. Depending on the number of areas treated, it can take anywhere from approximately 15 to 45 minutes. To optimize results in some cases, a touch-up treatment may be needed approximately two weeks after the initial treatment.
Result Duration
In a clinical study of people treated with Restylane®, 95% still showed improvement at 18 months after treatment. Like Juvéderm®, Restylane® is a cross-linked, hyaluronic acid dermal filler, specially designed to last longer. How long results last with Restylane® can depend on several factors, including the site of the injection, how the injection is performed, and how fast your body metabolizes the Restylane® filler.
Side Effects with Restylane®
Treatment with Restylane® in our Canyon Lake office has a very low rate of complications. Common symptoms include mild redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort at injection sites. These minor side effects tend to resolve within hours or days of treatment.
As Restylane® is made of hyaluronic acid, a substance occurring naturally in the body, there is less chance of an allergic reaction than with other fillers. Most patients with allergies to animal products can receive treatment with Restylane®. No pre-testing is required.
Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane® Injections?
Most women and men can benefit from Restylane® injections, whether they want to add volume to the lips, enhance the contours of the face, or rejuvenate the skin. You may be a good candidate for Restylane® treatment if your appearance could be improved by:
- Enhancing and adding volume to the lips
- Augmenting the cheeks to create of more youthful, aesthetically pleasing profile
- Smoothing the appearance of laugh lines, nasolabial folds (from the nose to the mouth corners), and marionette lines (running from the mouth corners along the sides of the chin)
