Am I a Candidate for Restylane® Dermal Fillers?
Since hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, most people are good candidates for Restylane®. You should let your Nurse Injector know if you have ever had a reaction to a dermal filler or other injectable treatment before. Your Nurse Injector will discuss which Restylane® product can meet your needs and concerns more effectively.
Detailed Treatment Process
Understanding what to expect during a Restylane® treatment can help you feel more at ease.
Preparation: Before the procedure, your injector will cleanse the treatment area. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: The treatment itself involves injecting Restylane® into the targeted area using a fine needle. The process is usually quick, taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Immediate Results: You’ll notice immediate changes after the injection, such as increased volume and smoother skin. The full effects develop over the next few days as the filler settles.
Aftercare: Post-treatment, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and excessive sun or heat exposure for the first 24 hours. Your injector may provide additional aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best results.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities right away. Some may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically resolve quickly.
This straightforward process makes Restylane® a popular choice for those looking to enhance their appearance with minimal disruption to their daily life.
Safety and Side Effects
Restylane® fillers are generally safe, but it’s important to be aware of potential side effects.
Common Side Effects: After treatment, some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These symptoms are typically mild and resolve within a few days.
Less Common Reactions: In rare cases, patients might notice lumps or irregularities in the treated area. If this occurs, your injector can provide advice on how to manage these symptoms.
Allergic Reactions: Although uncommon, allergic reactions can occur. Patients with a history of allergies should discuss this with their injector beforehand. If you experience severe swelling, difficulty breathing, or any other signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions: It’s essential to inform your injector about any medications you’re taking, especially blood thinners, as these can increase the risk of bruising. Additionally, patients who are pregnant, nursing, or have a history of severe allergies may need to consider alternative treatments.
Expert Guidance: Restylane® treatments should only be administered by a trained and experienced injector to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.
