Services - Restylane® Treatment

Restylane® Treatment

Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid filler that possesses the Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™) technology. It creates volume and therefore plumps up the skin to enhance thin lips, reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, facial folds and depressed scars, contour the face and rejuvenate the skin. Its results are immediate.

How long does it last?

The effects of Restylane® lasts up to one year, depending on the area being treated, the depth of the lines, the condition of the skin and the lifestyle of the individual. Most people return at 6-9 months for top-up.

Does the treatment hurt?

As Restylane® treatment involves injection into the skin, you may experience some discomfort. However local anaesthetic creams and injections and ice pack can be used to minimize pain.

What will I look like after treatment?

You may have slight redness and swelling around the injection sites. Most of the time makeup can be applied over and you can resume your normal activities.

What are the possible side effects?

The side effects of Restylane® treatment may include swelling, redness and occasional bruising. Swelling is the most likely effect because Restylane® attracts the bodies own water to the area. Other side effects may include minor lumps, itching or tenderness and these usually resolve quickly.

Is it toxic?

Restylane® is safe as it contains no animal proteins, allergens or chemicals.

Can I go straight back to work after treatment

Yes but for a first treatment it is probably better to schedule your appointment for the end of the day or end of the week.
