Two kinds of Restylane

There many different dermal fillers on today’s beauty market. If you’re anything less than an expert, trying to figure out which brand and dermal filler within that brand is right for you can be difficult, to say the least. At Doctors MedSpa in Little Rock, AR, we offer Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk, two dermal fillers from the Restylane collection that will restore youth to your face, your hands, and even help you finally achieve your ideal lips.

What Is the Difference Between Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk?

Restylane is a collection of dermal fillers made of a gel form of synthetic hyaluronic acid that closely matches the hyaluronic acid that the body produces to keep the skin soft and hydrated. Both Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk have been used for years in Europe and have now been FDA-approved for use in the United States. Both of these fillers treat the signs of aging that result from volume loss, but they do so in different areas of the face.

All About Restylane Lyft

What Is It?

Restylane Lyft is a formulation from the Restylane collection of dermal fillers that treats volume loss and wrinkles that develop as a result of the aging process in the mid-face area, as well as the hands. It restores youth to the face and the hands and can improve your overall appearance.

What Does It Treat?

This dermal filler is approved to treat the signs of aging that appear in the middle and lower half of the face as well as the hands. It can improve the appearance of nasolabial folds, add volume to the cheeks and enhance and shape them, and correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles. The hands are often overlooked when it comes to aging, but this dermal filler can hide unsightly veins as well as protruding bones by restoring volume to the area.

How Soon Will I Notice Results?

The benefit of dermal fillers is that results are immediate, and these Restylane fillers are no different. You will notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your mid-face and hands once your appointment is complete. Your results will continue to improve in the days and the weeks following your treatment as the hyaluronic acid within the filler settles into the space below your skin.

How Long Does It Last?

The results from these dermal fillers are long-lasting. When it is injected into the hands it will improve volume loss and results will last up to six months. When it is injected into the mid-face to treat volume loss in the cheeks, results will last up to 12 months. When used to treat nasolabial folds, results will last up to six months.

All About Restylane Silk

What Is It?

Restylane Silk is another formulation from the Restylane collection of fillers composed of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid. It is specifically formulated to treat the area around the mouth and augment the lips. This dermal filler is different from other lip fillers because it has the ability to improve and correct different areas of the lips to create the most aesthetically pleasing lips for your face.

What Does It Treat?

This dermal filler treats the lips and the surrounding area. The aging process can lead to the development of vertical wrinkles around the mouth known as perioral lines, and this dermal filler can smooth those lines and create a smoothness. It is also designed to augment the lips and increase their size so that you can transform the lips you were born with into the lips you’ve always wanted.

How Soon Will I Notice Results?

Results from injections with this dermal filler will be immediate. You will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of perioral lines around your mouth, as well as the appearance of your lips.

How Long Does It Last?

When injected into the lips, this dermal filler will last up to six months. As soon as you notice a difference in the appearance of your lips or lip lines, all you need to do is schedule a touch-up treatment to maintain the most consistent results.

Am I a Candidate?

If you are an adult who is over the age of 21 and you want to smooth lip lines around your mouth, or add fullness to your lips and increase their size, you are most likely a candidate for this dermal filler. During an initial consultation, one of our experienced injectors will discuss this treatment with you and help determine if it is right for you and your goals.
