Restylane® in Charleston, SC

Revitalizing your appearance doesn’t always require invasive surgery. At The Repaire Room in Charleston, SC, we are here for patients who desire effective, non-surgical options that can refresh their facial aesthetics. Our approach focuses on delivering noticeable yet natural-looking results such as Restylane to help you maintain your skin’s youthfulness with minimal downtime. We offer several Restylane products, each designed to target specific areas of the face, from smoothing out wrinkles to adding volume to lips and cheeks.

What Is Restylane? 

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used to smooth wrinkles, enhance facial features, and add volume to the skin. It is injected beneath the skin’s surface, where it integrates with existing tissues and attracts moisture, improving the skin’s appearance. The treatment is customized for each patient, providing results that maintain the skin’s natural look and feel.

What Can Restylane Treat? 

Lips

Restylane lip filler is specifically designed to enhance the fullness and contour of your lips, providing a natural-looking plumpness that complements your facial structure. This treatment can also address fine lines around the mouth which can result from age or environmental factors.

Cheeks

As we age, our cheeks may lose volume, leading to a sunken or flat appearance. Restylane products can rejuvenate this area by restoring volume and taking the place of lost fat pads. This treatment not only enhances cheek fullness but also improves the overall balance and harmony of the face.

Facial Lines and Wrinkles

Restylane treatments are effective at smoothing out facial lines and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other creases that develop with age. By filling these areas with a hyaluronic acid-based gel, Restylane helps to soften the signs of aging, resulting in a smoother, fresher facial appearance.

Hand Aging

The hands often reveal the first signs of aging, but Restylane can help reverse this. By restoring volume to the back of the hands, Restylane diminishes the visibility of veins and tendons, resulting in a more youthful and smooth appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Restylane? 

• Robust Formulation: Restylane is known for its robust formulation, designed to mimic the body’s own hyaluronic acid, allowing the product to hold its shape while still looking natural.
• Immediate and Long-Lasting Results: Patients often observe immediate improvements after a Restylane treatment, with results that can last several months, depending on the specific treatment area.
• FDA Approval for Many Different Areas: Restylane filler has been approved by the FDA for use in various facial areas, allowing for a broad range of applications from lip enhancement to wrinkle reduction.
• Minimal Downtime: One of the most appealing aspects of Restylane treatments is the minimal downtime required. If you are busy and don’t have a lot of time for aesthetic treatments, this option can be perfect.
• Advanced Filler Technology: Restylane utilizes cutting-edge filler technologies, including NASHA® (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid), particularly in products like Restylane Lyft and Restylane-L. This technology allows for a smoother, more precise application.

Our Options From the Restylane Collection

Restylane-L

Designed for versatility, Restylane-L is a go-to option for those looking to enhance their lips or smooth out lines on the middle to lower face. This Restylane lip filler targets the delicate areas around the mouth, providing a fuller, more defined lip shape. These Restylane injections are also used for laugh lines, marionette lines, and other wrinkles, and they include lidocaine for more comfortable injections.

Restylane Lyft

Known for its efficacy in restoring volume, Restylane Lyft has a more robust formulation that can offer more significant effects. This treatment not only adds volume to hollow areas of the face, giving a more youthful and lifted appearance, but it also addresses the signs of aging on the backs of the hands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restylane

How Should I Prepare for My Restylane Treatment?

Before your Restylane filler appointment, avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and high doses of vitamin E or fish oil supplements for at least 24 hours to reduce bruising and swelling from the injections. Wash your face thoroughly to remove makeup and lotions before coming in. Once here for your consultation, you can discuss your medical history, allergies, and any medications you’re taking to make sure the treatment is right for you.

How Long Does Restylane Last?

The effects of a Restylane treatment can last from 6 to 18 months. This depends on where the product is injected. Results often last longer in areas with less movement, while areas such as the hands may need treatments more often if you want to maintain your results.

Do Restylane Treatments Hurt?

Restylane injections may cause some discomfort, similar to other needle treatments. Both of the Restylane products that we offer have a small amount of lidocaine that can be helpful for minimizing pain. Topical numbing creams can often be applied several minutes before the treatment if you are interested.

Are There Any Post-Treatment Restrictions After Restylane?

After receiving Restylane, avoid strenuous activities, extensive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours. This can help the product to settle better in the desired area and help prevent bruising. Make sure to avoid touching or picking at the injection sites to keep the area from getting irritated.
