Restylane for Facial Lines

Restylane fillers are FDA-approved dermal fillers for facial lines. The Restylane family of fillers consist of: Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Silk, Restylane Kysse, and Restylane Eyelight. They are a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel-like substance consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA). The filler is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle or cannula. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe for your skin. Restylane may be used to augment the lips, fill in facial lines, smooth and erase the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, and add volume to the cheeks and chin.

What Is Restylane?

Restylane is an FDA-approved, clear, biodegradable, non-animal-based dermal filler that is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance. Because Restylane is non-animal based, a skin test is not needed before treatment. It may be used to treat facial lines and improve facial wrinkles, enhance the lips, improve the appearance of dark circles beneath the eyes, and add volume to the cheeks and chin, along with other areas of volume loss to the face. Once Restylane is injected, it restores a more youthful appearance by creating volume and fullness in the face.

How Does Restylane Work?

The active ingredient in Restylane products is hyaluronic acid, which is suspended in a clear gel. As one of the fundamental building blocks that occurs naturally in the body, hyaluronic acid binds to moisture and is an integral part of repairing damage to skin cells and healing inflammation. When injected into the skin as part of a dermal filler, its moisture-binding properties allow it to plump up the skin for a full, healthy look. Restylane combines these natural properties of hyaluronic acid with a particularly small, smooth particle that creates the most natural-looking results.

Restylane Silk and Restylane Kysse in Austin, TX

Full, smooth lips are highly sought after as part of a youthful face. Unfortunately, many people suffer from a lack of volume in their lips from an early age and, even more, lose volume in their lips as a natural result of the aging process. 

Environmental factors like smoking and consistently drinking through straws can also lead to fine lines, shapelessness, and vertical wrinkles around the mouth. Experience the natural-looking results of Restylane Silk and Restylane Kysse create smoother, plumper lips and smooth out fine lines and other imperfections around the mouth.

Restylane Lyft and Restylane Contour in Austin, TX

Restylane Lyft and Restylane Contour are FDA-approved dermal fillers able to soften facial lines and wrinkles by restoring lost volume and fullness. They consist of a natural substance known as hyaluronic acid. This crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel has minimal risk of allergy and does not require skin testing before treatment. Restylane Lyft and Restylane Contour treatments can give facial skin a more youthful and smoother appearance.

Restylane Defyne

Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler used for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth, such as the nasolabial folds. Restylane Defyne can also be used to add definition and augment the chin for added chin projection in patients with moderate to severe chin retrusion. 

Restylane Refyne

Restylane Refyne is hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to help soften and smooth moderate lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Restylane Eyelight

Restylane Eyelight is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is FDA approved to help improve under eye hollows and help to smooth out dark circles in the lower eyelids. Restylane Eyelight uses NASHA Technology, which is a firmer gel texture, to allow for more specific product placement to fill out hollows and shadows in areas of volume loss in the lower eyelids.  

Candidates for Restylane Fillers

If you think you may be a good candidate for Restylane injections, your next step will be to schedule an individualized facial assessment and consultation with a provider at the Buckingham Center. During this private meeting, you will be able to review the concerns that you wish to correct and discuss the results that you are aiming to achieve.

After a brief examination, the provider will determine if Restylane, and which Restylane product, can give you the desired outcome. The provider carefully explains the procedure to you and any other treatments you may be interested in. Once you have decided on your treatment, you will be able to schedule the procedure.

Consultation

To determine if an individual is a viable candidate for this procedure, our providers recommend a private consultation. Providers at the Buckingham Center feel that successful rejuvenation treatment and plastic surgery stem from the development and maintenance of a good rapport between the patient, the provider, and the staff during their consultation and future appointments. The consultation will include a complete facial analysis to determine the best procedure to bring about the desired results, and all questions relating to the patient’s specific concerns will be addressed. Prospective patients are encouraged to call the office to schedule an appointment at their earliest convenience.

Who is the best candidate for Restylane treatments?

Candidates for Restylane treatment are in good physical health and have realistic expectations for improving the appearance of wrinkles and other facial imperfections. A private patient consultation with one of our providers is the best way to determine if Restylane is right for you.

What can I expect during a consultation for Restylane?

During your consultation for a Restylane-injected treatment, the provider will perform a complete facial analysis. This will allow the provider to determine if Restylane is best suited to meet your desired outcome or if another procedure will be more appropriate. The provider will also answer any questions or concerns that you may have about the Restylane treatment or other plastic surgery procedures.

Is the Restylane injection painful?

There is usually little discomfort associated with Restylane injections. However, an anesthetic may be used during treatment, and any discomfort experienced afterward is usually minor, fading within a few days.

Where is the Restylane treatment performed?

Restylane treatments are typically administered in the office setting.

Is anesthesia used during the Restylane treatment?

The Restylane gel contains a form of local anesthesia (e.g., lidocaine), which aids in easing the discomfort throughout the procedure. In addition, to optimize individual comfort, patients may receive a topical anesthetic and/or an injectable lidocaine nerve block.

How is the Restylane treatment performed?

Restylane treatments are simple, quick procedures. The injector uses a very fine needle or cannula to administer the Restylane gel beneath the skin in small amounts.

How long does a Restylane treatment take to perform?

Restylane is a relatively quick procedure that typically takes no more than 30 minutes to complete.

What is the recovery like after the Restylane treatment?

The recovery period is quick and minor after Restylane treatment. Swelling, redness or bruising may occur and typically clears up within a couple of days to 2 weeks. Normal activity can usually be resumed immediately after the procedure. It is recommended that exercise be resumed 24 hours after treatment.

Will I need to take time off from work after undergoing Restylane treatment?

Work and other normal activities can usually be resumed immediately after the Restylane treatment. However, certain facial areas result in minor swelling or bruising. The provider will discuss this in more detail at the consultation.

How long do the results of Restylane last?

The results of Restylane last an average of 6-9 months.

The area under my eyes is very hollow. Would it be possible to have a fat transfer in this area?

The under-eye area is the best place for fat transfer. It can also be treated with injectable fillers such as Restylane or Resylane Eyelight. The advantages of Restylane and Resylane Eyelight are that it is an in-office procedure with very little downtime. The disadvantage is it is temporary. The advantage of fat transfer is that the results can be permanent, but the disadvantage is that survival is variable. If the survival is inadequate, a second fat transfer may be performed.

What is the Restylane procedure like?

Restylane dermal fillers are administered in our comfortable, professional environment at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Austin, TX. Once you have arrived in the office, the procedure begins by carefully cleaning your face to remove any products or bacteria that could cause an infection. Restylane will then be carefully injected using an ultrafine needle or cannula to minimize discomfort and bruising. The entire procedure normally takes about half an hour.

Will it hurt?

Due to the tiny size of the needle or cannula used for the injections, most patients report minimal discomfort during their Restylane treatment. However, if you are concerned or have very sensitive skin, you may request a numbing agent before the injections begin.

How long will recovery take?

Recovery from Restylane injection is minimal. You’ll be able to return to your normal life immediately and even go back to work right after your appointment if you like. It is recommended that exercise be resumed at least 24 hours after treatment. Normal hygiene activities such as washing your face can be resumed immediately, although you should avoid scrubbing hard for the first day or two.

What are the side effects?

Most patients experience nothing more than minor redness and slight swelling for a day or two after the treatment, although a few people also have a small amount of bruising at the injection sites.

Who is a candidate for Restylane?

Ideal candidates for Restylane include anyone who is unsatisfied with the thin or shapeless appearance of their lips and wishes to add subtle, natural volume, as well as anyone trying to smooth out fine lines and vertical wrinkling around the mouth, correcting moderate smile lines around the mouth, as well as volume loss and contour deficiencies in the cheeks and lower eyelids. Restylane is safe and effective for patients of all ages, genders, and skin types but is best used by patients who are healthy and have reasonable expectations for their results.
