If you are interested in improving wrinkles or fine lines in the lower face, Restylane may be your answer. Restylane is a safe and natural skin filler that restores volume to the skin and corrects moderate wrinkles. It is also used to enhance the lips and to lift sagging lip corners that develop as we age. Results are immediate and healing time is minimal for this simple, convenient procedure.
Available appointment times are limited, so call soon. Ask about a complimentary consultation with Kristie to discuss Restylane or other procedures.
What
is it?
Restylane is known as hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found
in the skin that keeps the skin plump and supple. It has the same
effects as collagen, but lasts longer.
What is the difference between Restylane and
Collagen?
Restylane is a newer product than collagen, but it has been used
in Canada and Europe for many years. It was FDA approved in 2003
for use in the U.S. You typically get similar results with Collagen
and Restylane, but Restylane lasts longer. (i.e. Collagen: 3-4 months.
Restylane: 6-9 months, depending on the area).
Where is Restylane used?
It is injected to help smooth certain facial wrinkles.
-- The large smile lines from the side of the nose to the side of
the lips (nasolabial fold)
--To plump up the lip or to smooth out the wrinkles around the lip
--For sagging lips that always look like a frown
--To fill in certain scars
Does it hurt?
There is some discomfort with the Restylane injections. Dr. Brown
minimizes this by numbing the entire area first with numbing injections
(like what you get at the dentist). All of her patients tolerate
the procedure well.
Is it safe?
Yes, Restylane is a natural component of skin. It is not made from
animal or human tissue, so you don’t have to worry about risk
of disease. There is a very rare risk of temporary allergic reaction,
but the vast majority of people have no complications or problems.
What are the side effects?
You most commonly see swelling, which is significant in the first
24 hours (primarily with lip injections). Some patients may have
some bruising in the area. Do not plan any social activities for
at least 24 hours after your treatment. If you have a big event
coming up, have the Restylane injected at least a week or two prior.
Who performs the procedure?
Dr. Brown only. She has had extensive training both in residency
and at specialized cosmetic dermatology meetings.
