Restylane is an injectable treatment that slows down the signs of aging. It is a hyaluronic-acid-based gel that reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines by filling them up and moisturizing and lubricating the skin. If you want to look younger and more relaxed, get Restylane in Los Angeles.
Restylane is a clear, biodegradable gel made of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. It is used as an alternative to animal-based fillers such as Hylaform and collagen. It removes the wrinkles on the face, particularly the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, parentheses lines, and perioral lip lines. It can also restore volume to volume-deficient areas and plump thin lips. Its results may last for six to eighteen months.
Getting Restylane injections increases the skin’s water-retention capacity because of hyaluronic acid. The increased moisture adds volume to recessed parts of the face, smooths the skin, and fills in the folds. The HA also boosts collagen production.
Restylane is a versatile filler suited for a range of concerns, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines, volume loss in sunken cheeks, thin lips and smoker’s lines, and under-eye hollows. During your consultation, Dr. Dishakjian will assess your facial structure and recommend the most appropriate treatment areas and filler formulation for your goals.
Is Restylane Right for Me?Restylane is suitable for anyone who wants to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. Even those with a history of allergic reactions to avian-based hyaluronic acid can use Restylane, because it is bacteria-based.
People allergic to bacterial protein should avoid getting Restylane injections. Those who are taking blood thinners, are immunocompromised, under age 21, or pregnant or lactating are not allowed to get Restylane.
We will ask about your goals and expectations during a consultation. We will also discuss the available treatment options, the procedure, the expected results and aftercare process, the potential effects, and the cost.
The process starts with cleaning the target area and marking the injection sites. The injections will then be administered. Restylane contains a local anesthetic, so the area will be numbed and pain-free during treatment. After the injections, the area will be massaged to distribute the filler evenly.
The entire procedure may last for 15 to 45 minutes. After the filler has been injected under the skin, its HA component will immediately boost the volume in the target area. The acid attracts water molecules, reducing deep wrinkles and adding volume to the treatment sites.
