Over time, your face will start to lose its fresh, youthful look. Wrinkles become etched into your skin, creases develop in your brows, deep lines appear next to your nose and face, and your cheeks and lips lose volume. With the help of Restylane in Westport, you can outsmart nature and restore lost volume, or enhance various facial areas. Designed to replenish and restore a youthful, smooth appearance to your skin, Restylane can take years off your look.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is an injectable dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid (a natural sugar found in your skin that gives the skin moisture, volume, and elasticity). There are several Restylane products, each designed to enhance different areas of your skin:
- Restylane L: The first and original Restylane product, Restylane L is designed to add fullness and plumpness to the lips, as well as smoothing moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles.
- Restylane Silk: Restylane Silk is a thinner gel, used to volumize the lips and smooth creases around the mouth.
- Restylane Lyft: Restylane Lyft is the only FDA-approved product to volumize both the face and the hands. Restylane Lyft can temporarily volumize the cheeks, rejuvenate your hands, lift your midface, and correct moderate-to-severe wrinkles on your face.
- Restylane Refyne and Defyne: “Laugh lines” on the sides of the nose and mouth or extending onto the chin can leave you looking older than you feel. Restylane Refyne and Defyne were developed to smooth away laugh lines without producing an unnatural look.
- Restylane KYSSE: The newest technology in the Restylane family, designed specifically for lips, to provide a natural plump look that is shown to last up to one year.
What to Expect from Restylane Injections
Restylane is applied to targeted areas of the face with a microneedle. The procedure is fast, and the solution itself contains the anesthetic lidocaine to minimize pain and discomfort. You may expect slight redness, itching, or swelling in treated areas, but this should resolve within a few days. There is minimal downtime – you can return to your regular activities almost immediately following treatment. If you are considering smoothing away wrinkles and lines, we invite you to discover Restylane injections performed with top-level skills at Privá MedSpa.
Restylane Recovery: What to Know
After your Restylane treatment at Privá MedSpa, you can expect minimal downtime with most patients returning to daily activities within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common but typically subside within 1–2 weeks. To aid recovery, apply ice to the treated area, avoid touching or massaging the site for 24 hours, and keep your head elevated when sleeping. It’s also recommended to avoid heat, alcohol, and caffeine for the first 24 hours, and skip strenuous activities for a couple of days.
