Who Is a Good Candidate for Restylane?

This filler is a great solution for anyone looking for a safe and effective solution for their skin aging concerns. As you get older, it’s completely normal to notice some significant changes to the appearance and texture of your skin. But just because they’re common, that doesn’t mean that they’re welcome!

Restylane can help you add volume to certain parts of your face. It can also smooth out wrinkles, helping your skin look supple and youthful again. So, could you be a good candidate for this filler? If you are overall healthy, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you have any of the following concerns, you could be a perfect candidate.

Eye Bags

The original formula for this filler is great for treating various wrinkles all over your face. It can also be used to target dark circles and bags under the eyes. It’s extremely common for your eyes to be one of the first places to show signs of aging like wrinkling and hollowness. This is because the skin here is thinner than on other parts of the face.

Dark bags under your eyes can make you look old as well as very tired. For brighter, more alert eyes, this injectable can help.

Hollow Cheeks

Along with wrinkling and fine lines, another common side effect of aging is a major loss of volume. When you’re young, you have a lot of volume in your face, especially in your cheeks. However, as aging makes you lose volume, you’ve likely noticed your cheeks becoming thinner and thinner.

You can use the Lyft formula to put more volume back into your cheeks. Not only will this provide more fullness and definition, but it will also lift sagging skin and help eliminate or prevent the appearance of jowls.

Smile Lines

The area around your mouth and nose moves a lot and creases throughout the day. Combining this with a loss of both volume and elasticity of the skin will result in these creases becoming permanent over time. This filler has two different formulas that can help target your laugh lines and help you look younger.

Refyne is the perfect solution for shallow to moderate folds in this area. However, if you find that you have deep or severe smile lines, then the Defyne formula will provide you with the full, smooth skin you’re looking for.

Lips

There are a variety of reasons why you might be concerned about the appearance of your lips. Perhaps you have very thin lips that are due either to genetics, a loss of volume from aging, or a combination of both. You may also have wrinkles around your mouth area that you’re looking to get rid of.

You can use this filler Silk formula to put volume into your lips, helping to counteract any loss of fullness you may be experiencing. It can also help add more definition as get rid of fine lines around your mouth to help you look younger.

What Is Restylane?

If so far this filler sounds like it could be the perfect solution to your aging concerns, then you’re probably wondering what exactly it is and how it works. This is a dermal filler, meaning that it’s injected into your skin with the use of a very fine needle. The main ingredient in this filler is a sugar you can find in your body called hyaluronic acid.

If you want to understand how exactly this filler can help you, then it will be helpful to know why you get wrinkles in the first place.

Why Does Our Skin Change?

Your skin contains several different chemicals including the proteins elastin and collagen. These proteins are plentiful while you’re young, but levels begin to lower as you age. These proteins are what provide your skin with its structure as well as its ability to stay elastic. As levels diminish, your skin is more prone to damage as well as to the effects of gravity.

Your skin also contains amounts of hyaluronic acid. This sugar helps your skin stay hydrated and provides volume. Getting older reduces the amount of this chemical, which results in drier skin as well as less fullness.

How Does Hyaluronic Acid Help?

When it’s injected into your skin, the hyaluronic acid in this dermal filler does a few things. First, it provides volume to your face as it takes up space beneath your skin. It also binds to moisture molecules which helps your skin stay hydrated and retain the newly added volume.

The injections will also help to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen. As you already know, collagen is how your skin maintains its structure. Stimulating more of it will help keep your skin supple and firm, making you look younger.

What Is Treatment Like?

If you’re looking to get this treatment, then make sure you’re seeking out a qualified professional to provide it. At our clinic in Northern California, we work hard to make sure that our patients are safe and comfortable throughout the entire process.

Before we book your appointment, we’ll begin with a consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss what your specific areas of concern are and come up with a treatment plan for you. We’ll also go over your medical history to make sure that this is the right treatment for you. After your consultation, we’ll set you up with your appointment.

Before the Appointment

Before it’s time to come in for your injections, we’ll provide you with some instructions on how to prepare. It’s important that you follow these simple instructions to make sure that your treatment is safe and as effective as possible.

We may ask that you avoid a few things in the week leading up to your appointment. Don’t take any medications that could thin your blood. This includes aspirin and ibuprofen.

When Do Results Appear?
