What Is Restylane®?

Restylane® is a soft, smooth filler composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. Over time, our skin loses its ability to retain water, leading to wrinkles and volume loss. By replenishing the hyaluronic acid in targeted areas, Restylane® fills in facial lines and wrinkles, restoring fullness and rejuvenating your appearance. Restylane® is commonly used to treat:

Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth)
Lipstick lines (vertical lines around the lips)
Corners of the mouth
Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
Lips (see Lip Augmentation)

Why Choose Restylane®?

Restylane® is one of the most trusted and researched fillers available, with over 16 years of global use in more than 65 countries. Its hyaluronic acid formula integrates naturally with your skin, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking for a natural solution to facial aging. Because it’s non-animal-based, Restylane® is easily broken down by the body, and its effects are long-lasting yet reversible if needed.

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Leong’s meticulous injection techniques ensure you receive personalized, natural-looking results tailored to your specific aesthetic goals.

How Does Restylane® Work?

Restylane® works by injecting a clear gel of hyaluronic acid into areas of the face where volume has been lost or wrinkles have formed. This gel binds with water molecules in the skin, providing immediate fullness and smoothness.

Additionally, Restylane® stimulates collagen production, leading to long-term improvements in skin texture and volume. Patients will notice immediate results after treatment, with improvements continuing as collagen production increases over time.

Post-Treatment Care

After your Restylane® treatment, it’s essential to follow these post-care guidelines to ensure optimal results:

Avoid alcohol, exercise, and touching the treated area for at least six hours after the procedure.
If you experience redness or swelling, avoid sun exposure, UV lamps, and extreme cold until these symptoms subside.
To minimize bruising and bleeding, avoid taking Aspirin, NSAIDs, St. John’s Wort, fish oil, or high doses of Vitamin E for one week before and after treatment.

Our office will provide detailed instructions to ensure you have a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Restylane®?

Good candidates for Restylane® include individuals in good health who want to correct facial wrinkles, improve volume in hollow areas, or enhance their lips. Restylane® is especially effective for treating:

Lines above the lip
Marionette lines (lines that extend from the corners of the mouth)
Smile/laugh lines
Under-eye hollows (tear trough deformity)
Thinning lips or facial volume loss

During your consultation, Dr. Leong will discuss your goals and assess your suitability for Restylane® to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.

Does Restylane® Hurt?

Patient comfort is a top priority at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Leong has extensive experience performing filler injections and uses local anesthetics to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients find the treatment comfortable, and the results are immediately visible. Following treatment, you can return to your regular activities with minimal downtime.

Combining Restylane® with Other Treatments

Restylane® can be combined with other cosmetic treatments for enhanced results. Many patients choose to pair Restylane® with:

BOTOX® or Dysport®: These neuromodulators reduce muscle movement, allowing the skin to smooth and soften, while Restylane® adds volume and fullness.
Ultherapy®: This non-invasive treatment lifts and tones sagging skin, complementing the volumizing effects of Restylane® for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Combining these treatments allows for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, targeting both wrinkles and volume loss for a more refreshed, youthful look.
