Restylane® is injected into your skin using tiny injections. This procedure will be made comfortable with the use of topical numbing cream as well as a novel injection technique which will allow the doctors to lift your skin maximally with minimal injections. The procedure is quick. It usually takes less than 30 minutes. The benefits can be seen immediately.

The procedure is very safe, as Restylane® is 99% identical to your skin’s own hyaluronic acid. Mild injection-related reactions such as pin-prick marks and redness sometimes occur, but will usually disappear spontaneously by the following day and can be concealed by makeup. Occasionally, mild bruising may occur, but this will resolve in a few days. The whole procedure is very quick – it takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

The filler starts to work straight away to lift your skin naturally. Instantly, you will notice that your wrinkles have improved and that your face is more contoured and subtly lifted. These improvements continue over time as Restylane® further stimulates more collagen production. After 2 to 3 weeks, you will find that your skin is firmer with better texture, more hydrated with less surface roughness, and more elastic.

Like your own natural hyaluronic acid, Restylane® is naturally broken down by your body over time. Restylane® Hydrolift lasts about 4 to 6 months or even longer with proper rest, exercise and a healthy diet. Your doctor will advise you on when you should repeat the procedure to maintain the effects of the treatment.
