What Is Restylane?

Restylane is a family of FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that provides hydration and volume. According to Restylane USA, Restylane products use a proprietary formulation that creates smooth, long-lasting results for various aesthetic concerns. The Restylane family includes multiple products, each designed for specific treatment areas and effects.

Why Choose Athēnix for Your Restylane Treatments?

When you select Athēnix for dermal fillers, you benefit from:

  • Highly Trained Injectors: Our aesthetic providers and board-certified plastic surgeons have extensive training in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques. Many have completed specialized certification programs and regularly attend continuing education to stay current with the latest approaches.
  • Comprehensive Product Portfolio: We offer the complete Restylane family and other premium fillers, allowing us to select the optimal product for each treatment area and desired effect rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Artistic Approach: Our providers combine technical skill with aesthetic judgment to create natural-looking enhancement that respects your unique features. We avoid the overfilled or artificial appearance that can result from aggressive treatment.
  • Safety and Comfort Focus: We use meticulous injection techniques, proper numbing methods, and careful attention to avoid potential complications. Your safety and comfort are paramount throughout treatment.
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: We develop customized filler strategies based on your individual aging patterns, facial structure, and aesthetic goals rather than following standard treatment protocols.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Restylane Treatment

Consultation and Cost

Your Restylane journey begins with a consultation at our Brentwood aesthetic center. During this appointment:

  • Your provider will examine your face and assess facial anatomy
  • Discuss specific areas of concern and your aesthetic goals
  • Explain which Restylane products would work best for your needs
  • Show you before-and-after examples of similar treatments
  • Take photographs for your medical records
  • Mark treatment areas to plan injection sites

Restylane costs vary based on the specific product and number of syringes needed, typically ranging from $600 to $1,200 per syringe. Most patients need 1-3 syringes per treatment session depending on areas treated. We provide transparent pricing and offer package options and financing for multiple treatments.

Procedure Steps

On treatment day, here's what to expect:

  • Your provider will cleanse your skin thoroughly
  • Apply topical numbing cream for 15-20 minutes to maximize comfort
  • Most Restylane products also contain lidocaine, providing additional numbing once injected
  • Your provider uses fine needles or blunt-tip cannulas to carefully inject the filler beneath your skin in precise locations
  • They may massage the area gently to ensure smooth, even distribution
  • The entire treatment typically takes 15-45 minutes depending on how many areas are addressed
  • You'll be able to see results immediately, though some swelling may temporarily exaggerate the effect

Recovery and Results Timeline

Restylane treatments require minimal downtime. Here's what to expect:

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):

  • You can return to most normal activities immediately
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24-48 hours
  • Expect mild swelling, redness, and possible bruising at injection sites
  • These effects typically resolve within a few days
  • Applying ice and arnica can help minimize swelling and bruising
  • According to clinical studies, most swelling subsides within one week

Results Timeline:

  • Results are visible immediately after treatment
  • Continue to improve over the following days as swelling resolves
  • Results typically last 6-18 months depending on:
    • The specific Restylane product used
    • Treatment area (lips and areas with frequent movement may require touch-ups sooner than static areas like cheeks)
    • Your individual metabolism
    • Lifestyle factors
  • Many patients schedule maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to maintain optimal results

How painful are Restylane injections?

Most patients describe Restylane injections as relatively comfortable, especially since most products contain lidocaine for numbing. Your provider will also apply topical numbing cream before treatment.

How long do Restylane results last?

Results typically last 6-18 months depending on the specific product, treatment area, and individual factors. Areas with more movement like lips tend to metabolize filler faster (6-9 months), while cheeks and tear troughs may last 12-18 months. Touch-up treatments maintain optimal results.

What's the difference between Restylane and Juvéderm?

Both are excellent hyaluronic acid fillers with similar safety profiles and effectiveness. They differ in their manufacturing process and gel characteristics, which affect how they integrate into tissues and their ideal uses.

Can Restylane be reversed if I don't like the results?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane can be dissolved quickly using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you're unsatisfied with results or experience complications.
