Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that provides hydration, fullness, and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less HA, which leads to volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

When Restylane is injected beneath your skin, the hyaluronic acid immediately adds volume and smooths away lines and wrinkles. But it does more than just fill; HA also attracts and holds water molecules, providing deep hydration that keeps your skin looking plump and youthful. This unique property means your results look natural and feel soft to the touch.

The Restylane family includes several different formulations, each designed for specific areas and concerns. Some are perfect for lips, others for deep wrinkles, and still others for adding volume to cheeks or smoothing under-eye hollows. During your consultation, we'll recommend the right Restylane product for your needs.

Restylane filler is incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of concerns across different areas of your face: Some of the most popular treatment areas include:

• Lips: Add volume, definition, and symmetry for fuller, more youthful lips
• Nasolabial Folds: Smooth the deep lines running from your nose to the corners of your mouth
• Marionette Lines: Soften lines that run from your mouth corners down to your chin
• Cheeks: Restore volume and create a lifted, youthful contour
• Under-Eye Area: Fill hollows and reduce dark circles for a well-rested appearance
• Chin: Enhance definition and balance facial proportions
• Jawline: Restore contour and definition for a more sculpted look
• Fine Lines Around The Mouth: Smooth vertical lip lines (also called smoker's lines)
• Temples: Fill hollowness for a more youthful facial shape

Each Restylane product is formulated with a specific particle size and consistency, making certain formulas better suited for particular areas. During your appointment at Spruce Medispa, we'll assess your concerns and select the perfect Restylane treatment to help you achieve natural-looking, beautiful results.

One of the great things about Restylane treatment is that results last for months, giving you lasting improvement without permanent commitment. How long your results last depends on several factors, including which specific Restylane product is used, the area treated, your metabolism, and your lifestyle.

Generally, you can expect:

• Lip Fillers: 6-12 months (lips are very mobile, so filler breaks down faster)
• Nasolabial Folds And Marionette Lines: 9-12 months
• Cheeks: 12-18 months
• Under-Eye Area: 9-12 months
• Jawline And Chin: 12-18 months

Many patients choose to schedule touch-up appointments before their filler completely wears off to maintain their results. We'll work with you to create a maintenance schedule that keeps you looking your best while fitting your budget and lifestyle.

Your appointment begins with a consultation where we discuss your goals, examine the areas you want to treat, and mark the injection sites. Using a fine needle or cannula, we'll carefully inject the filler into the targeted areas. The actual injection process takes just 15-30 minutes. You might feel slight pressure or pinching, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable.

After your appointment, you'll see instant improvement in volume and smoothness. There may be some swelling, redness, or small bumps at the injection sites; this is completely normal. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

In the days following, it’s important to follow our aftercare instructions, which include avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, staying out of extreme heat (saunas, hot tubs) for a couple days, and sleeping with your head elevated.

Once any swelling settles, you'll see your beautiful final results. Your skin will look naturally fuller, smoother, and more youthful. Results last for months, and when you're ready for a touch-up, we'll be here to help you maintain your gorgeous appearance!

Restylane has an excellent safety record and has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for many years, with millions of treatments performed safely worldwide. Because it's made with hyaluronic acid that naturally occurs in your body, allergic reactions are extremely rare.

You may be a great candidate for Restylane if you:

• Want to restore lost facial volume due to aging
• Have wrinkles, folds, or lines you'd like to smooth
• Want to enhance your lips or other facial features
• Desire natural-looking results
• Are looking for a non-surgical solution

During your consultation at Spruce Medispa, we'll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine if Restylane treatment is the best option for achieving the results you want. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities!
