Coming in for a Restylane Treatment

As time goes on, your skin will start to display the unavoidable signs of aging. It will lose its youthful look due to the lack of smoothness, plumpness, and firmness. Factors such as sun exposure, stress, and genetics, can make your skin look aged and unappealing.

The main reason why your skin no longer looks the same is that your body no longer produces adequate amounts of hyaluronic acid. This substance is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and fullness. As a result of this, your skin is more prone to deep folds and wrinkles.

Luckily, there is a new treatment, known as Restylane which restores your skin’s youthful appearance naturally. With more than 30 million treatments performed worldwide, Restylane is everything you need for all your facial skin requirements.

How does Restylane work?

Restylane products are composed of a substance that contains hyaluronic acid. Since this is a substance that is produced naturally in the body, you can expect the results to appear much more natural than those produced by other products. The treatment will help rejuvenate your skin, making you look incredible.

Restylane uses NASHA technology, which allows the products to have custom-sized particles, as per the requirements of the restoration and treatment. It also uses XpresHAn technology, which ensures that all your facial expressions appear natural.

What are the Advantages of Restylane?

When you use Restylane, all the facial wrinkles and folds you have will begin to fade away. It can smoothen out the fine lines around your lips makes the lines near your lips, add volume to your cheeks, and boost your overall youthful allure.

Who Shouldn’t Undergo the Restylane Treatment?

You shouldn’t go for Restylane treatment if you are:

  • Under the age of 22
  • Breastfeeding or pregnant
  • Allergic to lidocaine and microorganisms, such as gram-positive bacteria in particular
  • Prone to bleeding disorders
  • Used anti-clotting or blood thinners recently

What to Avoid Before Treatment?

If you are going for Restylane treatment, make sure that you don’t consume aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory, nonsteroidal medications like ibuprofen. If you take large amounts of vitamin E supplements regularly, don’t take them at least two weeks before your treatment. Also, avoid smoking before the course of the treatment, to see the best results.

What to do After the Treatment

After undergoing the Restylane treatment, you can return to your normal daily activities in no time at all. With this treatment, you don’t need to worry about long term recovery periods or excessive downtime. You will, however, need to take good care of your skin. This means moisturizing and avoiding excessive sun exposure.

How Many Treatment Sessions Do You Need?

For best results, you need to undergo at least three treatment sessions of Restylane the first month. The reason why you need so many treatments is to kickstart the production of hyaluronic acid in your skin. Once the treatment is successful, you only need treatments in intervals of six months.
