WHAT IS RESTYLANE®?

You may have noticed some significant changes to your skin that have accompanied aging, but those changes aren’t necessarily welcome. Restylane® is a dermal filler that can help you achieve the youthful, supple appearance that you’ve been missing. It’s fast-acting and will help smooth out the wrinkles that have appeared in certain areas on your face. Depending on the results you’re looking for and the area treated, you may be recommended a specific type of Restylane® filler.

RESTYLANE® FILLER | BEFORE & AFTERS

At WellMedica, we offer a great variety of choices in this category of aesthetic dermatology that is gaining so much attraction. Restylane® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. Restylane® helps rejuvenate and smooth wrinkles, plump the cheeks, lessen nasolabial folds, and reduce fine lines around the tear trough area, mouth, and lips. Achieving the look you desire is as easy as it is quick. No previous skin test is needed.

 

 

The Restylane® family of products include Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Kysse, Restylane® Refyne, Restylane® Defyne, and Restylane® Contour.

 

Restylane® is good for patients who don’t mind repeat procedures. If they are afraid of a bad result, Restylane® can be dissolved or will go away on its own by time. It is important to be realistic about what the filler can achieve, knowing that fillers cannot stop permanent signs of aging within the face. It can only improve a person’s appearance rather than dramatically alter it. Many Restylane® filler options are available here at WellMedica.

The number of syringes you will need for your treatment using the Restylane® family of products will depend greatly on your age, the volume loss in the area being treated, and your desired results. The first thing that’s going to dramatically impact the amount of filler you need is how big of a change you need or want to achieve your desired look. Generally, the older you get, the more filler you need to correct age-related changes.

The cost of Restylane® starts at $650 - $900 per syringe. This can really vary widely based on the type of Restylane® filler you and Dr. Dima choose to use to achieve your desired results. To ensure that your filler procedure is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

Restylane® requires no pre-testing, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Before any Restylane® injections, it is recommended to:

  • Avoid the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, ginkgo biloba, garlic supplements, green tea, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids for up to 1 week pre- and post-injection, as they will increase your risk of bruising.
  • Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising. You may take Arnica tablets 2-3 days prior to your injection to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Do not apply products that are potentially irritating for 2 -3 days before and after treatment, including tretinoin/Retin-A, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and hydroquinone.
  • Inform Dr. Dima if you have a history of cold sores to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
  • Inform Dr. Dima and her staff if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness, and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injections. This discomfort is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. When it comes to lip augmentation, swelling may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week.

Yes, Restylane®'s collection of dermal fillers is FDA-approved and completely safe for almost everyone. As long as you are over the age of 21, are not taking blood thinners, pregnant or breastfeeding, and haven’t been reactive to injectables in the past, Restylane® will be safe for you. The main ingredient in the Restylane® family, hyaluronic acid, is a sugar that is naturally found in the human body.

What a thorough doctor! She did not rush our time and made sure to listen to everything I had to say. I was so impressed and I am glad that she was listed here on real self. I have gotten fillers before at other places and they assess you in what seems to be 5 minutes. She is no BS. She knows her stuff and took time with me and listened. REALLY LISTENED! Just had to make an account so I could give my appreciation. Will definitely be back.

Thank you Dr. Dima Ali!
