ABOUT RESTYLANE
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore offers a wide range of filler products to help correct signs of facial aging, addressing lost volume, lines, and wrinkles. Restylane is one of the most popular brands of injectable wrinkle fillers because it treats several concerns with different formulas for long-lasting results. It is made with a synthetic version of the body’s natural hyaluronic acid (HA), giving the skin a natural, softer look that is more supple and full. A custom treatment plan can treat mild to severe facial lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to the lips and cheeks. Dr. Kirk Moore carries a selection of Restylane products, including:
- Restylane: Addresses facial wrinkles and folds
- Restylane Defyne: Fills in deep smile and laugh lines
- Restylane Lyft: Adds volume and lift in the cheeks
- Restylane Refyne: Corrects moderate smile and laugh lines
- Restylane Silk: Adds volume in the lips and fills in vertical lip lines
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Restylane treatments are great for any patient over the age of 21 who wants to improve their appearance with dermal fillers. Since it has so many formulas, your treatment will be customized to fit your needs and goals. Restylane can help you treat early signs of aging, including fine lines throughout the face, and it can also be used to boost the volume in your lips and cheeks. Restylane treats moderate to severe wrinkles, like laugh lines, frown lines, Crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more as well. Some formulas contain lidocaine so you should disclose any known allergies during your consultation with Dr. Moore to avoid a potential reaction.
PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE
Restylane injections take place inside the minor procedures room at Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah. A numbing cream can be applied for increased patient comfort if requested. The product is injected into your skin through a fine needle and massaged so it fills the needed areas. Multiple injections will be needed, followed by a cold, gentle compress to help control swelling. Each Restylane product is administered the same way but throughout different areas of the face, depending on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
When your Restylane injections are complete, you can return to work. Your recovery will depend on what is being treated so talk to your injector about what to expect. The injection sites will appear slightly red and swollen, but this usually goes away in a few hours. Bruising can be a factor, but this can usually be concealed with makeup. It is recommended that you avoid exercise for 24 hours, and you should sleep upright for the first night. Most patients will notice some improvements immediately after treatment, but it may take 1 – 2 weeks before the final results appear. Restylane injections often last up to a year, depending on the exact product used.
