Overview
Restylane is a popular dermal filler formulated to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles in your face. Made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin, Restylane works by replenishing lost volume and stimulating your skin’s natural hydration. During treatment, the filler is injected into targeted areas, where it integrates with your tissues to provide a plumper, more youthful appearance. You’ll notice immediate results, with effects lasting several months, making it a convenient option for facial rejuvenation.

During Treatment
During your Restylane treatment, a skilled practitioner will first cleanse the treatment area. Then, a small amount of Restylane filler will be injected into targeted areas using a fine needle. You might experience a brief pinch or sting, but discomfort is minimal. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Post-injection, you may have some mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to days.
After Treatment
After your Restylane treatment, you might experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours to a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 24 hours. The results are immediately visible, with continued improvements over a few days as any swelling decreases. The final results last 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific filler used, the treatment areas, and your lifestyle.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How Natural Are the Results?
Restylane is formulated to provide natural-looking results. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane mimics your skin’s natural HA, ensuring a smooth appearance. The results blend seamlessly with your facial contours, enhancing your features without looking overdone.
How Long Does It Last?
The results from Restylane typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area. Restylane Lyft and Contour generally offer longer-lasting effects compared to other formulations. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your desired look.
Is It Painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Restylane contains lidocaine, a numbing agent that helps reduce pain. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but it’s generally well-tolerated. If you’re particularly sensitive, you can discuss additional numbing options with your provider.
How Soon Will I See the Results?
You will notice immediate results after your Restylane treatment. Swelling and redness may temporarily mask the final outcome, but these effects subside within a few hours to days. The final results become fully visible after about a week as any residual swelling decreases.
What Are the Side Effects?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These are generally mild and resolve on their own within a few days. If you experience unusual or persistent symptoms, contact your provider for guidance.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours. This helps minimize any potential side effects and ensures optimal results.
