Restylane ® Injections
Indianapolis, Indiana
If you are looking for a non-surgical way to correct facial wrinkles or add fullness to your lips, Restylane ® may be the answer. Call Indianapolis board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata to find out how Restylane ® and other non-surgical injections, such as Botox ® and Juvéderm ®, can restore a more youthful appearance to your face.
Restylane History-Indianapolis, Indiana
Restylane is one of the products included in the class of Injectable Fillers, off-the-shelf materials used to fill out wrinkles and add volume to the lips. The original Injectable filler was collagen, but collagen only lasted three months and occasionally caused allergic reactions. The latest generation of Injectable fillers, including Juvéderm and Restylane , uses the material hyaluronic acid, which is a natural, complex sugar found in all living organisms, including your own.
Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions, which makes it very safe to use. It also attracts and absorbs water so the amount of improvement is enhanced during the first week after the injection.
Restylane is somewhat firmer than Juvéderm and so may be better suited for deep folds in which layering of the injection can be done to fill out the folds. An updated form of Restylane, known as Perlane®, may last as long as Juvéderm.
Restylane Uses & Technique-Indianapolis, Indiana
Restylane is often used for wrinkles and folds around the mouth, especially the deep folds at the junction of the upper lip and cheeks. Although Botox ® is the first choice for wrinkles caused by muscle activity surrounding the eyes, Restylane can be added if the wrinkles are too deep for Botox alone.
Restylane Injections are performed in the office, using anesthetic (numbing) creams to minimize discomfort, although occasionally nerve blocks may be used. The results are seen immediately and will generally improve the first week
Restylane Recovery & Results-Indianapolis, Indiana
Restylane produces some swelling, which usually lasts a couple of days. Occasional bruising may occur, which can be hidden with makeup. As with Juvéderm ®, Restylane attracts water between the cells so the amount of wrinkle correction continues to improve.
Restylane injections around the mouth will generally last 6 months, but the newest form of Restylane , Perlane, may last 9-12 months. If Restylane is used around the eyes with Botox it will last longer if regular Botox injections are kept up.
Juvéderm® Costs-Indianapolis, Indiana
The cost of Restylane ® is $495 per syringe, which includes all follow-up care by Dr. Fata. Unlike some offices, Dr. Fata does all Restylane injections himself.
