Pacific Plastic Surgery Group uses Restylane to help smooth away wrinkles, plumps up the cheeks and lips, and adds lubrication and moisture to the skin. We strive to deliver the best Restylane San Francisco has to offer. These benefits allow you to achieve a younger-looking facial appearance. This injectable skin treatment comes in the form of a clear gel. It is a non-animal biodegradable product composed of synthetic hyaluronic-acid. Restylane is used as a filler injection in non-surgical facial anti-aging treatments. Because these are non-surgical minimally invasive treatments, recovery time is typically not needed, making the treatment very convenient.
During a Restylane treatment, local anesthesia is administered to the target areas in order to numb them to any pain. The procedure usually takes less than a half hour to perform. First, the doctor selects injection points for the treatment.
The correct amount of Restylane required for the treatment is determined. The filler is then injected under the skin. The hyaluronic acid present in the filler sticks close to the skin. The acid attracts the water molecules to build and retain new volume, making wrinkles disappear. About two weeks prior to your treatment, stop taking medications and supplements like Aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, Ibuprofen and related NSAIDs, and St. John’s Wort. This helps in minimizing any bruising that might be caused during your treatment.
Soon after the Restylane treatment, patients can return to work. Downtime is typically not needed. The effects of the treatment can be seen immediately, and full results can be expected within a week. In the areas where Restylane was injected, patients may see slight swelling, redness, and/or bruising. This is based on factors such as the locations of the injection points on the face. These temporary side-effects usually only appear for 12 to 24 hours after the procedure.
Follow these tips to keep the common side-effects of the treatment to a minimum:
