Restylane is a family of injectable fillers that corrects deep wrinkles and folds, restores lost volume, and creates soft, natural lip enhancements. The beauty of the Restylane family of fillers is that they are super-soft and pliable, developed to maintain natural facial mobility and expressiveness. At Aesthera, we believe that true beauty comes from the inside out and that overall wellness plays an important role in your self-confidence and quality of life.

What is Restylane, and how does it work?

These fillers are each hyaluronic acid-based, and six different formulas are available at Aesthera in Pismo Beach. Restylane is highly effective in treating the nasolabial folds (those etched-in lines from the nose to the sides of your mouth) enhancing lip volume, or restoring lost volume at cheeks, temples, or beneath the eyes, and restoring a more youthful look to aging hands.

The Restylane formulas: Which is right for me?

When treating the signs of aging skin, or enhancing lip volume, we select the formula that will create the most beautiful result from the family of Restylane fillers:

Restalyne-L: This formula was developed to restore lost skin volume and leave you with a plumper, more youthful facial appearance. It helps smooth moderate to severe facial lines and folds.
Restalyne Lyft: Once branded as Perlane, Lyft is the first and only hyaluronic acid-based filler that has achieved FDA-approval for hand rejuvenation. As your skin ages, visible creases and wrinkles develop due to lost natural fat. Lyft is the ideal filler to add fullness to your cheeks and midface.
Restalyne Silk: Lovely, youthful lips – they are unforgettable. With Silk, you can achieve a subtle increase in lip volume and smooth away vertical lip lines in the most natural-looking way, as this formula is very fine and smooth.
Restalyne Refyne: Developed with a technology that allows for ultimate facial mobility, Refyne is injected to soften the appearance of laugh lines and marionette lines.
Restalyne Defyne: If you are tired of living with deeply-etched laugh lines, or the creases from your mouth to your chin, Defyne may be the ideal filler. Carefully placed injections will smooth and refresh your look without impacting your natural facial expressiveness.
Restalyne Kysse: The latest FDA-approved formula in the Restylane collection, Kysse, can enhance your lip volume, with a super-soft formula that lasts from six to nine months or longer.

Will my treatment be painful?

If you are like the majority of our patients, you will find the treatment to be quite comfortable. You may feel a slight pinching sensation from the fine gauge needle that will be used during your treatment. Restylane contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which should help ease any discomfort you may experience.

What can I expect during my recovery?

For the first two days post-treatment, try to keep your hands away from your face. Do not massage or rub the area. When cleaning your face, do not expose the area to extreme hot or cold temperatures for the first few days. The side effects of Restylane are minimal. You may experience slight bruising, swelling, and redness around the injection site. If you feel any discomfort, an ice pack is helpful. These effects typically fade very quickly.

How long can I expect my results to last?

Immediately following your treatment, you will notice an improvement in the smoothness of your skin. At Aesthera, we believe the best treatments are the ones your friends never see unless you reveal your secret (and we’ll never tell)! We want to ensure your new look is subtle, classic, and not overdone. A good skincare routine, including UV sunscreen, could extend the life of your treatment.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my treatment in Pismo Beach?

If you are going to undergo Restylane treatments, you should avoid taking blood thinners, high doses of vitamin E, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) before your treatment session. These medications could increase the possibility of bleeding and bruising at the injection site.
