What Is Restylane Used for?

If you’re looking for smooth, youthful skin that looks natural and effortlessly beautiful, Restylane®️ could be the key to your beauty goals. This practical, easy, and long-lasting treatment does wonders for multiple areas of your face and hands, and you can be in and out of your appointment in a flash. At Nunnally Dermatology in Baton Rouge, LA, we’ve helped countless people look and feel their absolute best with these types of fillers.

What Can I Use Restylane®️ For?

Restylane®️ fillers are an effective way to smooth out skin, giving you a healthy, glowing, and full look. This treatment smooths out wrinkles and targets fine lines while providing contour and structure to your face. Plus, it’s very versatile. Use it to plump lips and erase lip lines, give your cheeks some coveted natural definition, fill out your chin to balance your face, or erase Marionette lines.

You can also use it on your hands for a little extra volume and an ageless result. Talk to us about your personal objectives, and we can put together a personalized plan to fit your needs. We can treat one or multiple areas as needed and give you a customized schedule of treatments and aftercare that will work with your schedule and help you continue to look your best long after you leave our offices.

Different Types of Treatments

The Restylane®️ suite of products is vast, and is designed to target different areas for the most efficient and best results. Each product has a different formulation to make it suitable for a different area of the face or hands. Each of these products gives you the natural, glowing look you’ll love.

Original

The original formula is a fantastic filler that mimics your organic hyaluronic acid. As such, it seamlessly interacts with your body to produce smooth results. It’s great for smile lines or to give a little extra volume to your lip area. This is an excellent bet if you want a general formula with near-universal application.

Silk

For subtle but noticeably beautiful and plumper lips, opt for Silk. It’s an excellent choice for neutralizing lip lines and giving you a perfect pout. Silk can bring back the flawless, unlined lips of your youth in one quick appointment.

Kysse

Kysse gives you an enhanced shape and beautiful, smooth texture. Plus, it looks great, no matter how wide you’re smiling. It’s designed to work with your body’s movements and look great no matter how big or small your expressions are.

Lyft

Ask for Lyft if you want luminous, youthful cheeks or plump, unlined hands. This filler is a star when it comes to adding in lost volume but is still able to maintain structure in the targeted area. It’s easily one of the most versatile products in the entire Restylane®️ line.

Defyne

It’s natural and common to lose some definition as we age, but Defyne can help you roll back the clock by giving a bit of structure to your chin and smoothing out Marionette or smile lines. The combination of definition and smooth skin is a winner in any book and can help you to seriously enhance your natural beauty and even make your face look more proportionate.

Contour

Like Defyne, Contour is all about giving you the dual benefits of fullness and definition. This formula is specifically for your cheeks. Your cheeks will look smoother but have clearer contours, and you’ll be able to move your face perfectly naturally, no matter what expressions you’re making.

Refyne

Refyne is excellent for smile lines and wrinkles on the lower part of your face. It’s flexible and targeted explicitly towards this area because you’ll be able to speak, laugh, and move your mouth freely, all while looking wrinkle-free and as youthful as possible.

What To Expect From Your Treatment

First, you’ll have an initial consultation with our team, where we’ll talk about your objectives and come up with an excellent strategy to fulfill your goals using all of the treatment options we have on hand. The actual treatment itself takes roughly an hour or less, depending on the area you’re having treated. You don’t need to schedule any downtime afterward and can get right back to your day the second that you leave our offices.

Some people start to enjoy the results right away, and they last for anywhere between six months to over a year, depending on the type of treatment. Usually, people only need about one or two treatments to fully enjoy the long-lasting benefits. We’ll review your particular circumstances and let you know what to personally expect from the treatment, as well as any follow-up that might be needed.

Prolonging Your Results

While one of the top-selling points of this treatment is that the results tend to last for a reasonably long time, there are things that you can do to make your treatment even more of a success. These simple steps will help preserve the filler and keep you looking your beautiful best for a long time to come.

Quit Cigarettes

Smoking can impede blood circulation and may contribute to collagen loss in your skin. Additionally, the act of smoking can create more lip lines and Marionette lines. If you want to look youthful and fresh and avoid getting more lines on your face, putting out the cigarettes for good could be the best option for you.

Wear SPF

It’s a good idea to avoid being out in the sun after getting any type of filler because too much exposure can break down the hyaluronic acid in the filler itself. Additionally, getting too much sun can age your skin in general, so practicing smart SPF habits can help you maintain your fillers and prevent future wrinkles. Use a strong SPF and consider wearing a protective hat to shade yourself, as well as strong sunglasses.

Skincare

Following a smart skincare routine that works for you and your body is one of the best ways that you can stave off aging and keep those pesky wrinkles at bay. Moisturized skin is healthy skin, so make sure that you use a good day and night cream. You can also use products that contain known anti-agers like retinol to target fine lines between filler appointments.

Drinking lots of water is another way to ensure that your skin is always looking glowing and gorgeous. We’re happy to give you personalized recommendations on what you can do before and after your treatment to make sure that it’s a complete success.

Benefits

Everyone is different, so you might experience exciting, additional benefits from your treatment. These common benefits are the reasons why people keep on coming back to Restylane®️.

Natural Beauty

These fillers offer you gorgeous natural beauty that never looks artificial. They’re pliable and meant to work with your face to deliver youthful and flawless results. You’ll never look like you’ve had “work done.” Instead, you’ll look just like yourself, only more vibrant and wrinkle-free. Plus, you’ll enjoy a full range of motions and expressions while still looking your best.

Customizable

When it comes to your beauty, there are no cookie-cutter solutions. This treatment is customizable and tailored to target your specific needs. No matter what you’re looking to achieve, there’s likely a product out there for you. We can also put together a treatment schedule where we combine several different products to give you incredible results.

Easy Treatments and Longevity

You’ll enjoy an easy treatment day where you’re in and out of our offices within about an hour. Plus, you don’t need to schedule any time to recover afterward. These treatments also last for the long run too, with results spanning from between half a year to over a year, depending on the area that you’re having treated. It’s like getting the best of all possible worlds all at once.

Once you have your first treatment session, you’ll understand why so many people are flocking to this line of products. There are virtually no downsides but plenty of exciting benefits and phenomenal results.
