What Is Restylane?
Restylane is the brand name for a line of injectable dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in our skin that helps maintain moisture and elasticity. In cosmetic procedures, Restylane is used to:
- Reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds
- Add volume to the cheeks, lips, and other areas of the face
- Enhance facial contours for a more youthful look
- Because it is formulated with a hyaluronic acid gel, Restylane integrates with the skin’s tissues, providing smooth, natural-looking results.
What Company Makes Restylane?
Restylane is manufactured by Galderma, a global dermatology company founded in 1981. Galderma focuses on delivering innovative medical solutions in the fields of aesthetics, dermatology, and consumer care. In addition to Restylane, Galderma is known for other products that address a variety of skin-related concerns.
How Does Restylane Work?
Hyaluronic acid, the key ingredient in Restylane, is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. When injected into targeted areas of the face, Restylane’s gel-like formulation helps to:
Plump and Hydrate: The naturally occurring hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, which helps restore lost volume and fullness.
Smooth Out Wrinkles and Folds: By supporting the skin’s structure from underneath, Restylane helps fill in lines such as nasolabial folds (the “smile lines” running from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (vertical lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin).
Enhance Lips and Facial Contours: Several Restylane products are specifically formulated for lip enhancement or cheek augmentation, giving you a more youthful and defined look.
Types of Restylane:
Galderma has expanded the Restylane family to target specific concerns:
-
Restylane-L: Ideal for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose.
- Restylane Silk: Designed for subtle lip enhancement and smoothing vertical lip lines.
- Restylane Lyft: Created to lift and volumize the cheeks and correct midface contour deficiencies.
- Restylane Refyne & Defyne: Formulated to maintain natural facial expressions while reducing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
- Restylane Kysse: A lip filler crafted for flexibility, softness, and natural movement of the lips.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Restylane?
- Restylane is typically suitable for healthy adults who want to:
- Address signs of aging, such as lines, wrinkles, and volume loss
- Enhance or redefine facial contours (cheeks, jawline, etc.)
- Augment or shape lips for a fuller appearance
What to Expect During a Restylane Procedure:
- Consultation: A licensed practitioner evaluates your facial structure, discusses your goals and concerns, and decides on the appropriate Restylane formulation.
- Preparation: The area to be treated is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic or numbing agent may be applied to minimize discomfort. many Restylane products also include lidocaine to enhance patient comfort.
- Injection: The filler is injected into the targeted area using a fine needle or cannual. You may experience slight pressure or a pinching sensation.
- Aftercare: Your nurse injector may gently massage the area to smooth out the filler. You can typically return to normal activities immediately, but you may want to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, or excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
Possible Side Effects and Concerns:
As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects:
- Mild swelling and redness at the injection site
- Bruising or tenderness around the treated area
- Itching or slight discomfort during the first few days
- These side effects typically subside within a week. Although rare, more serious complications can include infection, vascular compromise, or allergic reactions. To minimize risks:
- Discuss any allergies, medical conditions, or medications during your consultation.
- Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions closely.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of Restylane’s results varies depending on:
- The specific Restylane product used
- The area treated
- Individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle
In general, most people enjoy the effects of Restylane for 6–12 months, though some formulations (like Restylane Lyft in the cheeks) may last up to a year or more. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain your desired results.
