Restylane Houston Texas

Restylane is an injectable facial filler comprised of a hyaluronic acid gel. Restylane may be used to fill in and improve the appearance of deep crevices, fine lines, acne scars, and other scars. It may also be used to add volume to the lips, the cheeks, and the area around the eyes. Restylane has been a very popular filler since 1996.

Good candidates for Restylane treatment include men and women who are looking for a soft, natural volume enhancer that provides good support. The Restylane injection is an in-office procedure which takes less than one hour to complete. A topical numbing agent and/or dental block may be used to optimize the patient’s comfort. Restylane is injected beneath the skin using a tiny needle.

Patients can expect some swelling and possible bruising after the injection. While work and other normal activities can be resumed immediately after the Restylane treatment, some patients prefer to wait until the redness and swelling have subsided. Because Restylane remains malleable in the tissue for up to seventy-two hours, patients will need to be careful to not vigorously manipulate the treatment area as the filler can be moved. The results of Restylane last an average of six to nine months.
