Restylane

If you’re interested in a way to address the mild to moderate signs of early facial aging, you’re absolutely not alone. Restylane is a non-surgical treatment that effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and other issues.

What Is Restylane?

Created from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, Restylane is a cutting-edge soft tissue filler, designed especially for filling in deep crevices, fine lines, and facial scars from acne or trauma. The cutting-edge injectable can also successfully restore volume to the lips, cheeks, and delicate areas around the eyes. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a safe and effective dermal filler, Restylane has been popular with patients since 1996. To learn more about how Restylane can help you, reach out to us at our Houston location and set up your consultation with a helpful member of our team today.

Restylane Before & Afters

Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane?

Potential candidates for Restylane can be both men and women, of all skin types, seeking a soft, natural volume enhancer and tissue support. During your consultation, Dr. Vitenas will get to know your cosmetic goals, help you explore the various treatment options that we provide, and guide you to the selection that is right for you and your lifestyle. Candidates for Restylane include those looking to:

Smooth fine facial lines
Fill in deep tissue crevices
Improve diminished volume in the cheeks
Restore volume under the eyes
Plump the lips

The Restylane Treatment

Restylane will be carefully injected beneath the top layer of your skin using a thin needle by expert injector, Dr. Paul Vitenas, while meticulously contouring the features. Although Restylane is not considered painful, patients may note minor discomfort, with a pinch or burning sensation during each injection.

For total patient comfort, a topical numbing cream may be used by Dr. Vitenas prior to the injections. All Restylane injections will be applied in a comfortable treatment room at Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery in Houston. Each Restylane treatment is quick, taking under an hour to complete.

Your Recovery Period

No downtime is required after a Restylane treatment, so work and school can be resumed the same day. Side effects are mild, but mild swelling and minor bruising can be seen after the injection session. Some patients will choose to wait until the swelling and redness have dissipated, 24 to 48 hours, before returning to work.

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. We recommend avoiding vigorous manipulation of the treatment area at first, as it remains malleable for up to seventy-two hours following the injections.

"This was a great experience. I had used a dermatologist for my previous appointments for fillers. Absolutely no comparison with professionalism, quality of product, and the expertise of this provider. They were able to help with a problem caused by the previous doctor. It made me feel absolutely wonderful. I thought that I would have to live with the mistake of the previous doctor. I will not be going anywhere else. I promise!"
