No need to turn to the fountain of
youth for your skin, because now there is Restylane®.
Thank you for your interest in Restylane.
This safe and effective cosmetic filler restores volume
and fullness to the skin to soften facial wrinkles
and folds, restoring the youthful contours of the
face.
Facial rejuvenation by Restylane® is
most popular for smile lines; however, it also does
wonders to restore your own youthful lips. Dr. Roberts
can use Restylane to give you a subtle enhancement
by minimizing upper lip lines and redefining your
lip outline, or she can add lip volume to give you
fuller "pouty" lips. If droopy lip
corners are making you look tired and drawn, Restylane
can lift these areas too. Either way, Restylane lip
rejuvenation will add a spark to your natural beauty.
Restylane® is a
very safe product. It is a non-animal stabilized hyaluronic
acid (NASHA). Hyaluronic acid normally occurs in the
body to keep skin plump and hydrated, lubricate joints
and shape the eyes. But, with age and other environmental
factors, these characteristics start to fade. Over
time, the active ingredient in Restylane® naturally
and gradually breaks down. Since Restylane contains
no animal products, a skin test is not
required prior to treatment.
Restylane® offers immediate
results. Using her delicate technique, Dr. Roberts
will use a very fine needle under the skin in the
area(s) to be treated. Some discomfort is associated
with the injections; however, topical anesthetic and
local nerve blocks are available upon request. Mild
swelling, bruising and slight tenderness in the treated
area(s) can last for 3-5 days. Treatment sessions
take only 30 minutes on average.
Don't worry about the same expense
next month, because Restylane® has long lasting
effects which let you enjoy your new enhanced beauty
for 6-9 months depending on the area treated.
Prior to treatment
with Restylane, Dr. Roberts recommends avoiding blood
thinners (Motrin, Aspirin, Fish oil, Vitamin E etc.)
for up to 14 days before the procedure to minimize
the chance of bruising. (see our
patient education section for a complete listing of
blood thinners).
To minimize bruising and swelling,
after Restylane treatment, Arnica tablets may be taken
(4 tablets under the tongue 4 times a day) starting
the week before treatment and continuing for 5-7 days
after treatment.
For 1-2 days after your Restylane
treatment avoid alcohol, severe exercise, hot tubs,
extreme hot or cold temperatures, sunbathing, tanning,
or rubbing the treated area.
