Restylane in Staten Island, NY

Restylane is a revolutionary and naturally derived hyaluronic acid gel that replaces the volume you've lost over time. As you age, the hyaluronic acid levels in your skin decrease, leaving behind wrinkles, folds and thin lips. 

Restylane counteracts this process by gently "filling in" facial contours for a smoother, lifted look.

With Restylane, you can experience the advantages of more defined and proportional facial features without extensive downtime or risks.

What is Restylane?

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that can be used to help improve the appearance of facial features. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced in the body, and is found abundantly in skin and connective tissues. When we are young, our facial tissues contain plenty of this acid, but it decreases with age.

This loss of volume in the cheeks, around the mouth, and in the lips can make us look less youthful and vibrant over time. Restylane works by replacing this lost volume, very similar to how hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin. 

During a simple treatment, the acid gel is injected into target areas like the cheeks or lips. It integrates smoothly and pulls moisture into the skin.

Over the course of a few weeks, it stimulates your body's collagen production for more long-lasting and natural looking results. The filler substance is slowly absorbed by the body as new collagen forms to keep features looking fuller. Many patients see visible improvement for around 6 months to a year after treatment. 

FAQ for Restylane

What areas can Restylane treat?

Restylane is effective at replacing volume in the mid-face and around the mouth. It can smooth nasolabial folds, fill in smile lines, and plump thin lips. Even subtle loss of volume in these areas can make one look less youthful over time.

How long do Restylane results last?

Most patients see a smoother, more refreshed appearance from Restylane injections for 6-12 months. As hyaluronic acid is slowly absorbed and your natural collagen production is stimulated, the effects unfold gracefully over time.

When can I resume normal activities after treatment?

Restylane has minimal downtime. Redness and mild swelling are common but often resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to work and normal activities right away. Makeup can cover any residual effects if desired.

How is Restylane different from other facial fillers?

Unlike permanent fillers, Restylane uses a sophisticated gel of hyaluronic acid to replace naturally depleted volume. This makes results safe, gradual and natural-looking as you work to achieve your aesthetic goals.

What credentials should I look for in an injector?

An experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist thoroughly trained in facial fillers will have the artistry to complement your individual features. Proper technique is key to achieving a youthful and proportional outcome.
