Restylane®️ Overview

The Restylane®️ family of fillers contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that keeps skin looking healthy. As a dermal filler treatment, Restylane®️ targets signs of aging in the face, including fine lines, wrinkles, laugh lines, and sagging skin along the cheeks.

Since Restylane®️ includes a family of products, how long it lasts depends on the product you choose. However, if you’re looking for a more long-term solution to counter the effects of aging, there’s another option that produces permanent results that you may want to consider.

What Is Restylane®️?

Restylane®️ encompasses a family of products designed to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and folds along the face along with subtle lip enhancement capabilities. These products are dermal filler injectables, specifically formulated to enhance your facial contours and produce natural-looking results by:

Softening creases
Smoothing out fine lines
Restoring lost volume

The active ingredients in Restylane®️ mimic the effects of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body that gives your skin volume. With age, the body gradually loses its ability to produce hyaluronic acid. This means anyone noticing signs of aging along the face could be a good candidate for dermal fillers.

The Restylane®️ family includes six different products, with each one formulated to address various signs of aging:

Restylane®️ – reduces “laugh lines” or the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
Restylane-L®️ – restores volume along the cheeks
Restylane Lyft®️ with Lidocaine – eliminates moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds; reduces “laugh lines;” enhances volume in the cheeks
Restylane Defyne®️ – decreases “laugh lines” and diminishes wrinkles
Restylane Silk®️ – enhances lip fullness and smooths out vertical lip lines
Restylane Refyne®️ – reduces “laugh lines” and diminishes wrinkles

The Restylane®️ brand uses NASHA, a specialized technology that tailors hyaluronic acid particle size to target different signs of aging. Premier Vein & Body by Schwartz works with each patient to determine which dermal filler will best meet their needs.

How Long Does Restylane®️ Last?

Restylane®️ results vary depending on the product. Here’s a quick breakdown of how long each Restylane®️ product lasts:

Restylane®️ – 18 months (when patients follow-up with a recommended second treatment at nine months after the initial injection)

Restylane Lyft®️ line – 12 months for the cheeks; six months for facial folds and wrinkles

Restylane Silk®️ – six months

Restylane Refyne®️ – 12 months
Restylane Defyne®️ – 12 months

Fat Injections vs. Dermal Fillers

For some individuals, dermal filler results may come up short in terms of how long they last. If you’re looking for a more long-term alternative, you may want to consider fat injections.

Dermal fillers help restore lost volume in the face and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal filler treatments only require a short, in-office visit with no recovery time. But, for all the benefits dermal fillers offer, they don’t last as long as fat filler injections.

Fat injections utilize your own fat, harvested from another area of your body. Fat is injected into target areas along the face using a minimally-invasive liposuction procedure from a site of your choosing,

Unlike dermal fillers, the results from fat injections are permanent! Depending on the dermal filler you choose, costs can add up with follow-up treatments, meaning fat injections can reduce your overall costs by thousands of dollars.

Fat injections offer a few other benefits, as well:

No risk of allergic reactions since the fat comes from your body
No chance of your body rejecting the treatment
Fat fillers also contain stem cell materials, which further enhance your skin’s appearance, making it look brighter and healthier
Improved contouring and fat reduction in the area where fat is removed
