Spider Veins vs. Varicose Veins
Restylane is a gel that is injected into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds. Restylane consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in your body. Once in the skin, Restylane works by creating volume. Some dermal fillers are derived from animal substances. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane are derived from non-animal substances.
The most common areas for receiving Restylane injections are the marionette lines (from the corner of your mouth to your chin), the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of the mouth) and the lips, although other sites can also be treated.
The Restylane Injections Procedure
During treatment, the crystal-clear Restylane gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. When enhancing lips or facial contours, Restylane injections add volume and shape to the treated area.
Treatment with Restylane is a very quick and easy process. A treatment generally takes 15 minutes, depending on the correction you wish to have performed. Most people find the injections relatively painless. A topical and/or local anesthetic will be applied to the area being treated prior to your procedure. The results can be seen immediately. The length of time the effect of a Restylane treatment lasts is very individual and depends on many factors, such as the structure of your skin, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded and the injection technique. Dr. Greenberg strives for natural looking, long lasting results. Experience indicates that touch-up and follow-up treatments will add to the duration of your results. Most people choose to have a new treatment within 6 – 8 months.
