As we age, skin loses its plumpness and elasticity, causing nasolabial folds to become more visible. This in turn creates the deep lines and wrinkles around the mouth which can turn even the brightest of smiles stern. While aging may be natural and inevitable, you can choose how you age. With hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Restylane, you can soften the severity of smile or laugh lines to dramatically lift your appearance and boost your confidence

Restylane is an injectable dermal filler that helps to visibly correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the lines that run from your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines). Additionally, Restylane is FDA-approved for lip enhancement in patients over the age of 21 and are uniquely formulated to give your lips fullness and definition.

How do hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Restylane work?

Dermal fillers like Restylane are made from a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Your skin actually depends on HA to maintain its elasticity and flexibility as well as to stay hydrated since HA is excellent at retaining water. As we age, your skin begins to produce less and less HA causing skin to lose its elasticity and create deep folds and wrinkles and hollow pockets. The gel is injected beneath the skin’s surface to smooth out these lines and wrinkles and restore lost volume. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, it’s perfectly safe to use even if you’re nursing or pregnant. So long as you are over the age of 21 and seek to correct deep wrinkles or fine lines, anyone is a candidate for Restylane injectable fillers. It addresses:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Smile or laugh lines
  • Marionette lines around the mouth
  • Wrinkles and creases at the corners of the mouth
  • Add volume and fullness to the lips
  • Perioral (smokers) lines on the lips

Fight signs of facial aging with Restylane at Artemedica

The entire injection process is quite straightforward and fast. Before your injections, Dr. Lacombe or one of our other trained clinicians will provide local anesthesia to ease discomfort. It will take some time for the anesthetic to kick in, but afterwards you should feel minimal to no pain. Your provider will then ease the dermal filler under your skin to smooth out any targeted wrinkles and folds, instantly increasing volume. Following your injection, Your provider may massage the treated areas to evenly distribute the dermal filler and minimize any bruising or swelling. The whole procedure should take no more than 15-30 minutes depending on the size and scope of the areas to be treated.

If you do feel any discomfort or anxiety before or during your treatment, you can always ask your provider about PRO-NOX.

Recovery after your injection treatment

After your treatment ends, you can return to your daily routine with minimal recovery and very little downtime. Some patients experience swelling, bruising and redness at the injection site(s), but this should dissipate within a few days. If you experience any discomfort, apply an ice pack to the treated areas.

Because Restylane is an injectable filler and not a neurotoxin like BOTOX, results are immediate and long-lasting. Typically, results last up to 12 months with optimal treatment, although results vary from patient to patient.

Roderic Wallace Trusts Dr. Victor Lacombe

“Probably one of Dr. Lacombe’s greatest assets is his intuitive understanding of what it takes to create a very natural yet aesthetically pleasing result. In my case, a brow lift opened up my eyes, a subtle lift to the tip of my drooping nose dealt with the negative effects of gravity, a small chin implant balanced a newly sculpted neck and stronger jaw line… yes, a number of procedures done at one time, but oh so worth it in the long run. I can enthusiastically endorse Victor as one of the finest plastic surgeons around.*”
