Restylane

What It Is

Restylane is a family of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers known for their precision and versatility. Different Restylane formulations are designed for specific areas: Restylane-L and Refyne smooth lines, Lyft adds volume to cheeks and hands, Kysse enhances lips with natural movement, and Eyelight is specifically formulated for under-eye hollows. Each product offers unique flexibility and integration with your natural tissue, providing soft, natural-feeling results. Restylane is one of the most established and trusted filler lines in aesthetic medicine.

How It Works

After a thorough consultation to identify your goals and the right product for your needs, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and apply numbing cream for comfort. Restylane is then injected with a fine needle or cannula in carefully measured amounts. Treatment takes 30–60 minutes depending on areas treated. You'll see immediate improvement, with final results visible after 1–2 weeks once any swelling resolves. Results last 6–18 months depending on the product and area treated.

Ideal Candidate

Restylane is excellent for adults looking to address specific areas of concern; whether it's lip enhancement, cheek volume, under-eye hollows, smile lines, or even hand rejuvenation. The Restylane Eyelight formulation is particularly popular for those with tired-looking under-eye hollows. Restylane is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for clients with active infections or certain autoimmune conditions.

Aftercare & Recovery

Apply ice intermittently for the first few hours to reduce swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and high heat for 24–48 hours. Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night. Don't massage or apply pressure to treated areas. Mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness are common and usually resolve within a week. Avoid blood-thinning supplements before treatment when possible to minimize bruising.
