What is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a dermal filler formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and maintain a youthful appearance. By injecting Restylane® into specific areas of the face, it can smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and refine contours, providing a refreshed and youthful look.
Target Concerns
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Diminishes crow’s feet, smile lines, and other facial creases.
- Volume Loss: Restores fullness to areas such as the cheeks and lips that lose volume with age.
- Facial Contouring: Enhances facial structure, including the jawline and cheekbones.
- Lip Enhancement: Adds definition and plumpness to thin or uneven lips.
- Dark Circles: Improves the look of hollows beneath the eyes for a more rested appearance.
Common Treatment Areas
- Nasolabial Folds: Softens lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Cheeks: Adds volume and contour to areas that have lost fullness over time.
- Lips: Creates fuller, shapelier lips with better definition.
- Marionette Lines: Reduces lines extending downward from the corners of the mouth.
- Under-Eye Area: Smooths and fills hollows to brighten and refresh the eyes.
What Makes Restylane® Unique?
Restylane® stands out due to its innovative NASHA™ (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) technology. This advanced formulation ensures high purity and stability, resulting in consistent and reliable results.

The Restylane® collection offers a variety of formulations tailored to specific needs, including Restylane-L, Restylane Contour, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Refyne, and Restylane Defyne. This flexibility enables treatments to be customized for each individual’s goals.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Treatment with Restylane® is quick and minimally invasive. Using a fine needle, the filler is strategically injected into targeted areas. To enhance your comfort, a topical anesthetic may be applied before the procedure. The entire session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.
How Long Do Results Last?
Restylane® results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors. To maximize your results, avoid intense physical activity, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine and staying hydrated will help extend the effects of your procedure.
Who is Restylane® Ideal For?
This treatment is ideal for adults who want to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles, restore lost volume, or enhance their lips. Candidates should have healthy skin and no history of severe allergies.
