Restylane is a dermal filler used to treat marionette lines, nasolabial folds, sagging, and facial wrinkles. This unique injectable can even be used to add fullness and hydration to aging hands. Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in youthful skin that helps exude a radiant glow. As we age, hyaluronic acid depletes, necessitating a cosmetic intervention.
Restylane is a safe and effective hyaluronic acid based dermal filler that is formulated to correct stubborn facial folds, creases, wrinkles and lines. Our natural supply of hyaluronic acid dwindles with age, so Restylane works overtime to help combat a loss of skin suppleness and hydration. Restylane is injected with a painless, ultra-fine needle and is laced with lidocaine, a topical anesthetic, ensuring patient comfort and relaxation.
Patients who are eager to reduce wrinkles, creases, folds, lip lines and other signs of aging make good candidates for Restylane, provided they have a realistic view of what the products can achieve based on their private consultation with Dr. Pratt in Charlotte, NC. Dr. Pratt will determine whether you have any allergies to lidocaine or other ingredients in Restylane before injecting you.
With Restylane, you can return to your normal activities right away, whether it’s work, school, or play. Some minor tenderness, swelling, or redness at the injection site is normal and will dissipate quickly. You can use an ice pack to help mitigate these side effects. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, as these can wreak havoc on your newly improved skin tone.
