Because of this adaptability, practitioners can easily customize your treatment for a wide variety of areas, whether you want to plump thinning lips, soften deep laugh lines, or lift sagging cheeks.
About Restylane
Restylane® fillers are a trusted, FDA-approved solution designed to enhance your natural beauty by adding volume to soft tissues and reducing the appearance of moderate wrinkles. Made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in your body’s soft tissues, Restylane® works by attracting water to the treated areas, delivering noticeable improvements over several days to weeks. Customized to your unique facial structure, Restylane® provides safe, effective, and temporary results, with your body naturally absorbing the filler over time.
Potential Side Effects of Restylane
While Restylane® fillers are generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects, which may include:
- Temporary bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site.
- Rare but serious risks, such as accidental injection into a blood vessel, which could lead to tissue damage or, in extremely rare cases, more severe complications.
- Infections or granulomas (scar-like lumps) may also occur in rare instances.
If you notice redness, heat, or increased pain in the treated area, contact your provider immediately.
Before Your Restylane Appointment
To minimize the risk of bruising and ensure the best results, follow these pre-treatment tips:
- Avoid vitamins and supplements like Omega 3, St. John’s Wort, Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, and Vitamin E for 5-7 days before your procedure.
- If safe, refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 5-7 days prior.
- Consider using Arnica supplements and cream starting two days before your appointment to reduce bruising.
After Care Instructions for Restylane
Proper post-treatment care is essential for optimal results and comfort:
- Avoid bending over, lying down, or applying pressure to the treated area for 4 hours.
- Refrain from rubbing, scratching, or massaging the injection site for 24 hours.
- Skip vigorous workouts, hot tubs, saunas, and facials for 24 hours.
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling and apply Arnica cream gently after 1 hour.
- Wait at least 1 hour before applying makeup and avoid electronic skincare brushes for 1 week.
For pain relief, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is recommended as it won’t thin the blood like aspirin or ibuprofen.
