Restylane® in Raleigh, NC

Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers a wide range of filler treatments to help correct aging in the face, such as lost volume, lines, and wrinkles. It is one of the most popular brands of dermal filler injections because it treats multiple concerns with different formulas for results that are long lasting. Restylane is made with a synthetic version of the body's natural hyaluronic acid (HA), giving the skin a natural, softer look that is more supple and full. A unique treatment plan can address mild to severe facial lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to the lips and mid-face. Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center is proud to carry the dermal filler Restylane, and you can ask about the variations that are available during your consultation.

Restylane injectable treatments are great for any woman or man over the age of 21 who are looking to rejuvenate their appearance. Since it has different formulas, your procedure will be individualized to suit your needs. Restylane can help you correct visible signs of aging, including fine lines on your face, or if you want to improve the volume in your lips and cheeks. It can also treat moderate to severe wrinkles, like laugh lines, frown lines, Crow's feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. Several formulas are mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so you should disclose any known allergies during your consultation with Dr. Lyle to avoid a reaction.

Restylane dermal injections take place inside the treatment room at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center. While some Restylane formulas are pre-mixed with the anesthetic agent lidocaine, a numbing cream can be applied for increased comfort if preferred. The treatment is injected into your skin through a very fine needle and gently massaged so it fills the needed areas. Multiple injections will be needed followed by a cold, gentle compress to decrease swelling. Each Restylane formula is administered with a similar technique but with different areas of the face targeted to fit your specific needs and goals.

After your injections are done, you can return to your day. Your recovery timeframe depends on what was being treated, so talk to Dr. Lyle about what to expect. The injection sites will appear slightly red and swollen, but this often resolves on its own after several hours. Bruising can appear in some areas, but this can usually be concealed with makeup. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activities, like exercise, for 1 – 2 days and you should sleep upright for at least the first night. Most patients will experience some improvements immediately after the injections, but it often takes 1 – 2 weeks before the final results appear. Restylane injection treatments can generally last about a year depending on the exact product used.
