Restylane

Men and women all over the world have been turning to Liquid Face Lift products such as Restylane as a non- surgical alternative to a face lift. Over 11 million people worldwide have used Restylane products and benefited from the less expensive, non-invasive procedure.  Restylane is marketed and sold in more than 60 countries including the United States. .  Restylane was approved for use in cosmetic procedures by the FDA in 2003.

Restylane is an all natural product. It is a non-animal based injectable gel made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in living organisms.  Because of this, no allergy testing is required before treatment.

Part of the Liquid Face Lift line, Restylane is a popular choice for lip augmentation.  Other uses include contouring of lines around the mouth (Cupid’s bow) crow’s feet and frown lines.
Results from a treatment with Restylane are temporary. A treatment with Restylane can last up to 18 months with only one follow up treatment. Follow up treatments may be needed anywhere from 4-9 months after the first initial treatment. Dr. Cappiello can help you decide what the right regiment is for you. Age, lifestyle and skin type are factors that will affect how long your Restylane treatment will last before a follow up visit is needed.

After your Restylane treatment, you will see immediate results. Restylane adds volume to your skin instantly for a more contoured, younger look and feel to your skin. Full results will be visible within two weeks.  Recovery time after receiving Restylane injections is short. Most people return to work the next day. There may be a little swelling and bruising around the injection site that can last for a few days.   

Every patient having Restylane treatment for Liquid Face Lift receives a dental block, so the procedure is done with minimal discomfort.  The amount of Restylane injected varies from person to person depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Your doctor can advise you on the right course of treatment for you.
