One of the first signs of aging is typically the fine lines and wrinkles that appear from the corner of your nose to the corner of your lips. If this area is causing you concern right now, dermal fillers can create a smoother and more natural lift to your face without surgery.
Call us today and learn more about how this product can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance. We offer Restylane in all our offices, including Fort Worth.
Restylane is an injectable dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid. Your body naturally produces this acid, which is used in your skin and connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture, plumps the skin, and makes it smoother and more youthful, causing a dramatic increase in volume with little risk. It is the most frequently studied dermal filler and has been used in millions of treatments across the U.S.
Restylane is FDA-cleared for the treatment of various facial concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, lip augmentation, dark under-eye circles, cheek augmentation, and mid-face contour. Restylane mimics the body’s natural hyaluronic acid and attracts fluid, also triggering the body to naturally produce more collagen.
Collagen is a protein molecule responsible for the firmness and structure of your skin. This provides support and structure around your mouth and lips to minimize facial wrinkles. The Restylane product line offers a diverse range of fillers. Fort Worth patients who use Restylane can expect to see an adjustment in the shape and contour of the treated area by lifting and increasing volume.
Restylane is commonly used to improve your lip volume or define contours, or to smooth out fine lines around your upper lip, called smoker lines. Restylane Silk is a formulation designed specifically for lip augmentation. The hyaluronic acid adds fullness while maintaining a natural look and feel to the area, making your lips fuller and looking more luscious!
During your Restylane consultation at our office in Fort Worth, a member of our team will evaluate your cosmetic concerns and discuss the advantages of using this product. You can ask questions and learn what to expect during and after the procedure.
Restylane injection sessions take less than 10 minutes. Since you do not need any anesthesia or topical numbing, you can leave the office and go about the rest of your daily activities. The area may swell within the first 48 hours but that quickly resolves.
The results for Restylane can last between six to 12 months, depending on a couple of factors, like the type of Restylane that was used, and how quickly your body metabolizes it. There are several steps you can take to help prolong the results!
Immediately after treatment, follow your injector’s recommendations for care. In the coming days and weeks, keep your skin well hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using high-quality moisturizers and serums, especially those with hyaluronic acid. This helps maintain the plumping effect.
UV exposure can degrade hyaluronic acid and speed up skin aging. When you’re out in the sun, apply sunscreen SPF 30 or higher and wear protective clothing to preserve the effects of the filler. Minimize excessive facial movements or stress on the treated area, like aggressive facial massages. This can help prevent the filler from breaking down quickly.
Your high-quality skin care products should also be gentle on the skin and you should avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants. Finally, maintain regular treatments every six to 12 months to keep the desired effect. Your injector can recommend the best timeline for touch-ups.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound that adds volume by attracting water to the area.
