Want to get rid of stubborn wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet? Restylane is a hyaluronic dermal filler that has been designed to treat mid-to-severe intensity wrinkles. It can help add volume to your face and give you a more youthful and full look. Restylane is a safe and minimally-invasive way to regain your youthful allure and the confidence that comes with it.
How Does Restylane Work?
Restylane is a type of hyaluronic acid dermal filler, that can help fill in wrinkles and hollow areas of the face to provide you with a more defined and shapely look. In terms of how it works, Restylane is similar to Juvéderm. Once injected, the Restylane gel fills in the hollow spaces in the skin and improves the shape and volume of your face.
It is a quick and effective way to rid yourself of the early signs of aging for a more youthful and beautiful look. It is usually used to treat:
• Nasolabial folds
• Deep wrinkles and fine lines
• Lines around the eyes
• Marionette lines
• Acne Scars
• Thin lips
• Loose and deflated cheeks
Restylane vs. Botox
Botox temporarily paralyzes the nerves in the face to prevent the skin from folding into wrinkles. However, Restylane fills-in the hollow spaces of the face and makes the face more shapely. It also helps to boost your collagen production for a youthful look that appears natural and lasts for a long time.
Restylane vs. Juvéderm
Both Restylane and Juvéderm work in the same way. However, Juvéderm has a comparatively deeper and more obvious impact on the face. Restylane, on the other hand, has a very subtle impact and is best for medium-intensity wrinkles.
When To Use Restylane For Wrinkles?
It is best to choose Restylane over Botox and Juvéderm if you’re treating wrinkles that are located at the surface and not very severe. It is also the ideal filler if you want to make subtle changes to your face.
The Different Types Of Restylane
Restylane-L
Restylane-L is the most basic variation of the traditional Restylane and it contains lidocaine, which has anesthetic/numbing features. It helps add more volume to the face, without subjecting the user to the pain of the filler.
Restylane Lyft
Perfect for the mid-face, especially the cheeks and the nose, Restylane Lyft helps fill-in the nasolabial folds, lift the cheeks, fill-in the cheeks, and gives the mid-face a more defined look.
Restylane Silk
Ideal for areas of the face that require the most delicate and subtle contouring, Restylane Silk is useful to treat the area around the mouth and can even improve the shape and volume of your lips.
Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne
Made from flexible hyaluronic gel fibers, Restylane Refyne and Defyne are the two most advanced dermal fillers in the Restylane range. Once injected, they take on the shape of the face even when the user changes their expression, smiles, frowns, or talks; without creating lumps. Restylane Refyne is perfect for moderate wrinkles and Defyne is great for severe wrinkles.
