It’s natural for your skin the change as you get older, but many of these changes can feel unwelcome. Luckily, at Biotech Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Spa in Aventura, FL, we can reverse signs of aging with our Restylane treatments.
How Long Does It Take for Restylane To Show Results?
When you have aging concerns that are affecting your self-esteem, it’s important to find a fast-acting solution. One of the biggest benefits of getting Restylane injections is that you’ll see an almost immediate change in your appearance.
This is because as soon as this hyaluronic acid-based filler is injected, the product takes up space under your skin, filling it out and making you look younger. But these won’t be the full effects of your treatment. Your complete results will be obvious about a week or two after you get your injections.
What Is Restylane?
This dermal filler is used to treat common aging concerns like skin laxity, wrinkling, and a thinning of the face. It’s a highly effective way of keeping your appearance looking young and healthy. The main ingredient in this filler is hyaluronic acid.
This is a sugar that your body naturally produces on its own. However, the older you get, the less effective your body is at producing it. This is in large part what causes your skin to sag and your face to lose fullness. Once injected, this filler puts this fullness back into your face, smoothing out wrinkles, lifting sagging skin, and stimulating your body’s production of collagen.
How Does It Differ From Other Cosmetic Treatments?
Neuromodulators
Getting injections of neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport can be effective ways to prevent the muscles in the areas from over-contracting, which is in large part what causes wrinkling to occur.
However, options like Botox may not be right for everyone. If you have shown sensitivity to products like this in the past, then a dermal filler like Restylane may be a better option. We can also combine these treatments to make an even more dramatic change in the way you look, removing years from your appearance.
Surgery
If you’re looking for permanent results from your treatment, then you may need to consider getting surgery. Getting a facelift can reduce the amount of sagging you’re seeing and tighten your skin, removing any wrinkles and making you look much younger.
But there are several downsides associated with surgeries, including the fact that they can be very invasive. This means that they carry more risks and that you’ll need to deal with extensive and uncomfortable recovery time. Instead, you may want to consider getting an injectable like this one that can provide you with effective, long-term results without having to go through surgery.
What Can It Treat?
Cheeks
The more volume you lose in your cheeks, the older your appearance is going to look. Thinning cheeks can also make you appear gaunt or even sickly if you’re losing a significant amount of volume.
You can reverse this change in your appearance by getting this injectable. It will put this lost volume back into your cheeks which has a few benefits. You’ll look younger, your cheeks will be rounder and fuller, and you’ll add more definition to your cheekbones.
Jawline
Have you noticed the skin around your jaw starting to sag with age? The appearance of jowls can be frustrating to see, and they can have a huge impact on your self-esteem. They are the result of both your face losing volume and your skin becoming laxer which causes gravity to take a firmer hold.
If you don’t like the way your jowls are making you look, this treatment can help. If you get injections in your cheeks, not only will they look fuller, but you’ll lift your sagging skin for a smoother and much more defined jawline.
Nasolabial Folds
These wrinkles are also known as smile lines or laugh lines. When you smile, you’ll see these parallel folds showing up between your nose and mouth. As your skin loses elasticity and volume, these dynamic wrinkles will start to become permanent, making you look much older than you may feel inside.
If you get injections of this filler around your nose and mouth area, this is going to help fill in the missing space under your skin and reduce the appearance of these wrinkles for an overall younger look.
Eyes
Because the skin around your eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, this area tends to show signs of aging relatively early. You may notice concerns like crow’s feet or little lines around the outer corners of your eyes. You might also find that you have tear troughs or hollowness under your eyes which make you look constantly tired.
This treatment is a highly effective way of treating these concerns. When you get injections around your eyes, it will help to reduce the appearance of your crow’s feet. You can also fill in the hollowness under your eyes to help them look brighter and more alert.
Marionette Lines
The lines that go from the outer corners of your mouth toward your chin are called marionette lines. They’re the result of your skin becoming laxer and losing natural fullness. They can be frustrating to see on your face.
To get rid of your marionette lines, you can get injections of this filler. By taking up space under your loose skin, it will reduce the severity of your marionette lines.
Smoker’s Lines
Smoker’s lines, also called lipstick lines, are the lines that appear on your lips. These little vertical lines may be small, but they can have a drastic effect on the overall way you look.
When you inject this filler into your lips, this will help them appear not only fuller and more youthful, but it will also reduce the appearance of your smoker’s lines for healthy-looking lips.
