How Long Do Restylane Results Last?

The Restylane collection of dermal fillers can significantly enhance your look. At Doctors Med Spa in Little Rock, Arkansas, we use these injectable products to add volume to your lips, smooth your wrinkles, and improve your other facial features. Read on to learn how these wonderful cosmetic treatments can make you look younger and more attractive.

How Long Restylane Last?

Restylane is a collection of dermal fillers that uses a substance called hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of your skin. Each of the products in this collection is designed to treat specific features and imperfections. These products have unique formulas, and some of these fillers provide longer results than others. Further, the longevity of your results will depend on the features that you are improving and how your body responds to your chosen filler.

Restylane-L

This is a dermal filler that improves the appearance of wrinkles around your mouth. This product can also minimize dark circles under your eyes and plump your lips. This product’s results often last for six months to two years.

Restylane-Silk

This filler is fantastic at smoothing fine lines and wrinkles near your mouth and lips. It can also minimize lines under your eyes. This is a very soft filler that works well on delicate skin. Further, it produces natural-looking results. It’s common for this filler to last for six to twelve months.

Restylane-Lyft

This filler can increase the size of your lips. It is also good at minimizing lines that run from the corners of your mouth to your nose, also known as nasolabial folds. Since this gel contains larger particles than many other dermal fillers, it is very good at treating deeper folds and wrinkles. Your improvements will usually last for six to eighteen months.

Maintaining Your Results

Although all of these dermal fillers provide long-lasting results, they will not permanently change your appearance. Fortunately, it’s easy to preserve the benefits of your initial treatment by receiving follow-up injections.

How Do These Dermal Fillers Work?

All of these dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to enhance your look. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that helps your skin retain moisture. By allowing your skin to stay hydrated, this substance makes your skin look plumper and more youthful. Although you have ample amounts of hyaluronic acid in your skin when you are young, your body produces less of this substance as you get older. Your decreased levels of this acid will weaken your skin and cause you to develop wrinkles and lose volume in your face.

These dermal fillers can fix this issue. When we inject your chosen filler into your target area, the hyaluronic acid in the product will restore lost volume to your skin and make you look younger and fresher.

What Is the Injection Process Like?

These products are designed to provide you with a safe and comfortable injection experience. All of these dermal fillers contain lidocaine. This product will numb your skin and help you feel at ease and relaxed.

During your appointment, we will carefully inject your chosen product into your target area. This is a quick process that is performed on an outpatient basis in our office in Little Rock, Arkansas.

How Long Will My Recovery Period Be?

There is no downtime associated with these products. Instead of scheduling time off from your duties at work or at home, you can immediately return to your job and other responsibilities. That said, you should try to refrain from engaging in certain activities for a while. In particular, you can help your body adjust to your new filler by avoiding vigorous exercise for the next couple of days. You also should not expose your skin to excessive heat or sunlight during this time.

When Will I See Improvements in My Face?

These products work very quickly, and you will notice positive changes in your face immediately after you receive your injections. However, it does take these fillers some time to settle, and you won’t see the final effects of your treatment right away. Instead, you are likely to see the full benefit of your filler after about two weeks.

Do You Offer Other Injectable Products?

We use many different injectable products at Doctors Med Spa. The Juvederm collection of products, like the dermal fillers described above, uses hyaluronic acid to enhance your appearance. Other products, like Botox and Dysport, use different techniques to smooth your wrinkles. During your initial consultation, we will provide you with more details about our full range of dermal fillers and other injectable products.

Am I Eligible to Use These Injectable Products?

These products are very gentle and safe. As a result, if you are a healthy adult, you are probably eligible for these treatments. That said, some medical conditions will prevent you from using these products. In particular, you cannot use these injectable products if you have an allergy to lidocaine or to the gram-positive bacterial proteins that are used to produce the hyaluronic acid in the fillers. Further, you should not have a bleeding disorder or be prone to bleeding.
