Restylane is an age-defying injectable treatment that can soften facial folds, fill in deep creases, and augment the lips. This premium dermal filler offered at WellSkin Med Spa in Dallas, TX can be used to enhance your facial contours and give your skin a smoother appearance. If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment that can give you beautiful, natural-looking results, this dermal filler won’t disappoint.
What Is Restylane Used for?
Restylane dermal fillers are used for minimizing volume loss in the skin. We use it to smooth away nasolabial folds, which are deep creases found between the mouth and nose. We can also use injectables to address other cosmetic concerns such as:
- Eye wrinkles or crow’s feet
- Lip lines or smoker’s lines
- Forehead wrinkles
- Thin lips
How It Works
Dermal fillers temporarily smooth away wrinkles and folds by adding volume and attracting moisture beneath the skin. The hyaluronic acid particles in dermal fillers attract water and give the skin a more plump, supple appearance. Over time, hyaluronic acid is metabolized by the body, so you’ll need maintenance treatments to keep your desired look.
As soon as we inject dermal fillers into your skin, you’ll achieve an instant lifting, filling, and hydrating effect. You’ll notice your wrinkles and folds becoming smoother as the injected product settles beneath your skin. The overall result is a more youthful, natural, and soft appearance. Our experienced injectors can administer dermal fillers to enhance your natural beauty and make you look more youthful.
What Skin Concerns Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
The earliest signs of skin aging appear in various areas of the face. Our skilled injectors can rejuvenate your look by filling in areas with wrinkles, folds, and fine lines. If you are bothered by the following concerns, dermal fillers may be a suitable anti-aging option for you.
Fine Lines
The lack of collagen in the skin can cause fine lines to appear on your face. As you enter your 30s, fine lines become more prominent, and they can give your face a dull, tired appearance. One way to minimize the appearance of fine lines is to promote natural collagen production in the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep your skin firm and youthful. Unfortunately, our natural collagen production declines with age.
Cosmetics cannot always conceal fine lines, and collagen-boosting treatments do not provide you with instant results. If you would like to soften and erase fine lines almost immediately, dermal fillers can give you near-instant results. We can strategically inject the right amounts of dermal filler beneath your skin to target your aging concerns.
Wrinkles and Folds
When your skin is no longer firm and elastic, permanent creases or wrinkles form. Those in their 30s and 40s find that they have wrinkles on their face even when they are not talking, squinting, or making other facial expressions. With age, static wrinkles tend to become deeper and more apparent, and as you enter your 40s and 50s, you may need cosmetic treatments to keep your skin looking youthful.
Fillers can fade wrinkles by tightening the skin and adding volume in areas with creases and folds. If you have deep lines in your skin, especially near the nose and mouth, fillers can be used to help restore your skin’s natural structure. If anti-aging creams and serums do not help you achieve a rejuvenated, firmer appearance, you may turn to dermal fillers to give your skin the additional support and volume it needs.
Thin Lips
Do you feel self-conscious because of thin lips that do not have enough definition or volume? Genetics and aging can cause you to have thinner lips. Fortunately, dermal fillers can safely augment your lips and enhance your features without any type of surgery. And if you have lip lines or wrinkles around the lips, we can also use fillers to smooth them away and give your lips a plumper, smoother appearance.
When Will You See the Results of Your Treatment?
If you love seeing instant results, dermal fillers won’t disappoint you. Unlike lasers, peels, and other anti-aging treatments, fillers can transform your appearance as soon as you complete your treatment. We will skillfully inject the right amount of filler into areas of your face that require volume and additional support. Because we gradually inject small amounts of the product, we can be confident about providing you with beautiful, natural-looking results.
After about two weeks of receiving the injections, your dermal filler should settle into its permanent position. If you would like to get a touch-up treatment to achieve the perfect look, you may do so in your follow-up appointment. We are committed to providing you with amazing results you’ll only love!
Are the Results From Injectables Permanent?
The results of your Restylane dermal filler injections can last anywhere from six months to more than a year. Many factors can affect how long your results will last. How well you take care of your skin, your age, and your metabolism can all affect how soon the injected fillers break down beneath your skin.
If you wish to maintain the look you have achieved after getting dermal fillers, we can schedule maintenance treatments as soon s you need them. We can help you maintain a youthful, attractive appearance and fight the signs of aging with our world-class treatments.
What Is the Treatment Process?
Consultation
Before receiving dermal filler injections, you will meet with our team for an initial consultation. We will examine your skin condition and ask about your expectations to determine whether dermal fillers are the right anti-aging option for you. If you have dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles that appear when you smile or talk, you may be more suited to other injectables like Botox. And to ensure your safety and satisfaction, we will also ask about your general medical history.
Once we have determined that you are a good candidate for dermal filler injections, we can then schedule a treatment session. Your treatment plan will be tailored according to your needs and preferences so that you can commit to your anti-aging plan and enjoy your ideal lifestyle at the same time.
Preparation
The best way to prepare for your treatment is by ensuring that your skin is in its healthiest condition. We will provide you with tips on how to prepare for your treatment and ensure that you achieve your desired results. Harsh exfoliants and peeling treatments must be avoided before your treatment because they can cause sensitivity in your treatment areas.
Additionally, you must keep your sun protected from UV rays before receiving filler injections. Any form of tanning or direct sun exposure must be avoided before your treatment. Please wear sunscreen whenever you need to go outdoors.
Treatment Session
To prepare your skin for the injectables, we will first make sure that the treatment area is clean and free of dirt and debris. We will make sure that there are no signs of inflammation, infection, or irritation in your target areas. A small amount of numbing cream will be applied to your skin to ensure that you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment session.
As soon as the anesthetic has taken effect, we will use a fine needle to administer your dermal filler injections. You can expect your appointment to last anywhere from 15 minutes to under an hour. We will carefully perform your treatment and make a series of small injections to ensure that your results are balanced and natural-looking.
Aftercare
You’ll notice visible results from your treatment right away, but it can take up to two weeks for the injected filler to settle permanently beneath your skin. During this time, we will advise you to avoid touching or applying pressure to the injection sites. You must also avoid wearing makeup and engaging in strenuous activities for the first two days after your treatment. By doing so, you can ensure that the injected filler will not move from its desired place.
Two weeks after your treatment, you may return to us for a follow-up appointment. We can assess the results of your treatment and may administer filler injections to any areas where additional volume is needed.
