Under the care of Dr. Amir Raeesy and our skilled team, clients in Encino, CA, can experience the benefits of Restylane® in a comfortable and professional environment.

What is Restylane®?

Restylane® is a family of injectable dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and add a youthful, natural-looking fullness to the face. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin. Restylane® addresses these issues by replenishing hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, offering both immediate and long-lasting results.

Restylane® can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including facial wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in areas such as the cheeks, under eyes, and nasolabial folds (smile lines). It is a versatile treatment that provides subtle, natural-looking results without the need for invasive surgery.

Benefits of Restylane® Treatment

Restylane® offers several advantages for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation:

  • Instant Results: Restylane® delivers immediate results, allowing you to see visible improvements in the treated areas right after the procedure.

  • Long-Lasting Effects: Restylane® results are long-lasting, typically lasting between 6 months to a year, depending on the specific treatment area and individual factors.

  • Natural-Looking Enhancement: The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® provides a soft, natural look that restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles without appearing overdone or artificial.

  • Non-Surgical Solution: Restylane® is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no incisions or downtime are required. It’s a great option for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery.

  • Minimal Discomfort: While there may be some minor discomfort during the treatment, Restylane® includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic, in the formula to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

  • Safe and FDA-Approved: Restylane® is FDA-approved and has a proven track record of safety and efficacy when administered by a trained professional.

How Restylane® Works

Restylane® works by replenishing the hyaluronic acid that naturally occurs in your skin. Hyaluronic acid helps your skin retain moisture and volume, keeping it plump and youthful. However, as we age, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles and a loss of facial volume.

When Restylane® is injected into the skin, it restores volume and smooths wrinkles by attracting water molecules to the treated area, which helps hydrate and plump the skin. This process provides both immediate and long-term improvements in the appearance of the skin.

Restylane® also stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain the volume and youthful appearance of the skin for months after the treatment. Depending on the treatment area and the individual’s skin type, the effects of Restylane® can last from 6 months to a year.

Treatment Areas for Restylane®

Restylane® can be used to treat a variety of facial concerns. Here are some of the most common areas where Restylane® can make a significant difference:

  • Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth can become deep with age. Restylane® can smooth these lines and restore a youthful, fresh appearance to the face.

  • Marionette Lines: These lines extend from the corners of the mouth downward to the chin, giving a tired or sagging appearance. Restylane® helps to lift and smooth these lines, providing a more youthful look.

  • Cheeks: As we age, we lose volume in the cheeks, leading to a sunken appearance. Restylane® can restore volume to the cheeks, giving the face a more youthful, lifted look.

  • Tear Troughs (Under-Eye Hollows): Restylane® can be used to fill in hollows and dark circles under the eyes, giving a refreshed and brightened appearance to the under-eye area.

  • Lips: Restylane® is commonly used to enhance lip volume, shape, and definition, giving you fuller, more youthful-looking lips without the need for invasive surgery.

  • Jawline and Chin: For patients seeking to improve the contour and definition of their jawline or chin, Restylane® can provide subtle enhancements that help create a more balanced and sculpted appearance.

  • Hands: Restylane® can also be used to restore volume to the hands, which often lose fullness as we age, giving the hands a more youthful appearance.

The Restylane® Treatment Process

The process of receiving a Restylane® treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and relatively painless. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

Step 1: Consultation Before the treatment, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Amir Raeesy to discuss your goals and determine the best treatment plan. During this time, Dr. Raeesy will evaluate your facial structure, listen to your concerns, and recommend the appropriate Restylane® treatment for your specific needs.

Step 2: Treatment Preparation On the day of your treatment, your skin will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort during the injections. In some cases, Dr. Raeesy may also use a local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience.

Step 3: Restylane® Injection Restylane® will be carefully injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Care After the injections, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. Dr. Raeesy will provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any discomfort.
