If you are exploring options for dermal fillers, you may have come across Restylane as a leading choice. At The Face Place in Baton Rouge, LA, we use only the best products and processes to help our patients refresh their appearance.
We also believe in keeping our patients well-informed about their treatment options. Restylane offers excellent results for those looking to enhance their features, and we are here to provide all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Restylane is a family of dermal fillers that treats facial concerns such as wrinkles by providing additional volume. It is also commonly used to augment or contour different areas of the face. Restylane filler products are made using hyaluronic acid and are known for their natural-looking results and long-lasting effects.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found in many areas of the body, including the skin, eyes, and joints. This gel-like substance helps these areas retain moisture and adds volume to the skin. As a biocompatible material, it is an ideal ingredient for dermal fillers.
As skin ages, less collagen is produced, which can cause the surface of the skin to wrinkle and fold. Restylane is often injected in small amounts in these areas to better support the skin and to fill in lines. The subtlety of this treatment can provide lift to key areas of the face, such as around the mouth, while also providing a natural-looking result.
Another common effect of aging is the loss or movement of fat pads. Restylane injections are used to replace this lost volume and can also contour and enhance facial features. These injections can add volume to areas to create a more defined and balanced appearance. Certain Restylane fillers have a more robust texture that lends itself well to enhancing structure and sharpening lines.
We begin by selecting the most suitable Restylane product for your situation. We will discuss your goals, the areas you want treated, the longevity of certain products, and more. With some patients, we may use more than one product depending on the number of areas being treated.
During the consultation, we might ask you to make certain facial expressions to better understand how your muscles move and where the injections will be most effective. We will also discuss the look you want. Whether it is a natural enhancement or a more noticeable change, the treatment can be adjusted according to your preferences.
Before your Restylane treatment, we will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any impurities. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Most Restylane products already contain small amounts of lidocaine, which helps to make the injection process more comfortable.
During the treatment, you might feel a slight pinch or pressure as the filler is injected. The number of injections will vary based on the areas being treated and the extent of the enhancement desired. The process just takes a few minutes, and you do not have to worry about excessive downtime.
Restylane injections use unique technologies like NASHA® and XpresHAn Technology™ to deliver even better results. NASHA technology involves non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid particles, which provide a firmer structure ideal for lifting and sculpting. XpresHAn Technology creates a smoother gel for natural facial movements, making it perfect for dynamic areas like lips and cheeks.
Deciding how often to get a treatment is a personal choice based on your aesthetic goals. If you want to maintain consistent results, plan for injections every six months to two years. The frequency depends on the area treated and the specific product used, as different formulations have varying durations of effect. It can also vary based on facial movements, skincare routines, activity level, and metabolism. Regular consultations can help tailor the treatment schedule to your needs.
