Dermal fillers like Restylane® have a wide range of uses in the hands of a professional like those at Laser Skin Care Center. They can help address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and loss of volume. Different formulations of dermal fillers can also be used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are composed of various substances that are injected into specific areas of the skin to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The primary goal of dermal fillers is to add volume to specific areas of the face, effectively “filling in” wrinkles, lines, and areas that have lost volume due to aging or other factors. They can be used to enhance features, restore youthful contours, and create a more balanced facial appearance.
What is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a branded line of dermal fillers that are used to address various cosmetic concerns related to facial aging and lack of volume. These fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume.
Different formulations of Restylane® fillers are tailored to different areas and concerns:
- Restylane® Lyft: Restylane® Lyft is specifically designed to add volume to the cheeks and midface area. It can also be used to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
- Restylane® Silk: Restylane® Silk is formulated for lip augmentation and the treatment of fine lines around the mouth, commonly referred to as “smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines.”
- Restylane® Refyne and Defyne: These fillers are designed to provide natural-looking results by helping to smooth out moderate to severe laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines) while allowing for natural facial expressions.
- Restylane® Kysse: Restylane® Kysse is designed specifically for lip enhancement. It’s formulated to provide natural-looking volume and definition to the lips while maintaining flexibility for natural movement.
The procedure is performed at Laser Skin Care Center by trained healthcare professionals, including licensed aestheticians, medical assistants, and LVNs.
How Long Does Restylane® Last?
Depending on the type of Restylane® filler used and the location of the injections, the results can last for different lengths of time. Very mobile areas like the lips and around the mouth may cause the filler to be cleared away faster than in an area of the face without as much motion.
Some last about six months, while others can last up to a year (sometimes even a bit longer). Most hyaluronic acid fillers last somewhere in this range, although some other materials may last longer. Factors that also affect how long a filler lasts include how much of the product has been injected and how fast your body processes the filler.
