Restylane® Dermal Fillers in Encino: Natural Lip & Under-Eye Rejuvenation

If you want to plump thinning lips, erase hollow under-eye circles, or smooth out stubborn wrinkles without looking over-filled or artificial, premium hyaluronic acid injections are the gold standard. Welcome to Balboa Medical Center & Med Spa, the premier destination for affordable, physician-led Restylane in Encino.

Under the expert clinical direction of Dr. Amir Raeesy, MD, our modern medical clinic on Ventura Blvd delivers customized, high-precision aesthetic treatments. We utilize the complete, advanced Restylane® product portfolio to safely restore your youthful symmetry and radiant skin texture while preserving your natural facial expressions.

What is Restylane?

Restylane® is an FDA-approved line of bioidentical hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule in human tissue that binds to water, providing the skin with its organic bounce, hydration, and volume.

The Restylane collection is uniquely engineered using proprietary XpresHAn Technology™ and NASHA™ technology. This advanced manufacturing allows the gels to range from soft and flexible to firm and supportive, giving Dr. Raeesy the exact structural tool needed to customize your facial enhancement.

What Does This Treatment Achieve?

Restylane acts as a targeted structural support system beneath the skin. When precisely placed, it achieves:

• Pillow-Soft Lip Augmentation: Adds natural volume, shapes the lip border, and smooths fine vertical smokers' lines.

• Total Under-Eye Refresh: Fills deep, dark tear trough hollows to eliminate a perpetually tired appearance.

• Smooth Laugh Lines: Softens deep nasolabial folds and marionette creases framing the mouth.

• Youthful Skin Hydration: Restores volume to deflated tissues, pulling the overlying skin smooth and taut.

Key Restylane Treatment Areas & Specialized Products

Dr. Raeesy selects specific Restylane formulations to precisely match the movement and anatomy of different facial zones:

• Restylane Kysse & Lyft for Lips: Specially designed for the mouth, adding plumpness and definition that moves naturally when you smile, talk, or kiss. [1]

• Restylane Eyelight for Tear Troughs: A specialized, low-swelling gel perfect for safely smoothing delicate under-eye hollows and shadows.

• Restylane Contour & Defyne for Laugh Lines: Flexible gels that support deep smile lines without restricting your natural expressions.

• Restylane Refyne for Fine Surface Wrinkles: A soft, fluid gel that seamlessly smooths superficial facial crinkles.

• What to Expect: Treatment & Aftercare

  The injection process takes just 15 to 30 minutes, frequently referred to as a "lunch-hour refresh." Dr. Amir Raeesy, MD utilizes specialized ultra-thin micro-needles or soft-tip micro-cannulas. Because cannulas glide smoothly between sensitive blood vessels rather than cutting through them, the treatment is highly comfortable, and the risk of bruising under the eyes or around the lips is drastically reduced.

  Post-Treatment Instructions:

  To ensure your hyaluronic acid gel settles smoothly and provides flawless, symmetric volume, follow these recovery guidelines:

  • Avoid Friction & Pressure: Do not rub, massage, or apply firm pressure to your lips or under-eye areas for 48 hours to prevent shifting the product.

  • Minimize Swelling: Apply a clean, wrapped ice pack gently to the treated zones for 10 minutes at a time during the first 24 hours.

  • Gym Modification: Avoid high-intensity cardiovascular workouts, heavy weightlifting, and inverted yoga poses for 24 hours to prevent increased blood pressure from worsening swelling.

  • Keep It Cool: Stay away from extreme heat sources, including saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, or direct sunbathing, for 48 hours.

  • Sleep Position: Sleep flat on your back with your head elevated on two pillows for the first 2 nights to encourage fluid drainage.

10 Most Common Questions About Restylane Injections

1. Is Restylane safe for cosmetic facial enhancement?
Yes. Restylane has a long-standing, exceptional clinical safety record and has been safely utilized in millions of treatments worldwide. Because it is made of bioidentical hyaluronic acid, it is fully compatible with human tissue.

2. How long do Restylane filler results last?
Longevity depends on the specific product formulation used and your body's metabolism. On average, lip enhancements last 6 to 9 months, while deeper placements in the cheeks or under-eyes can last from 12 to 18 months.

3. Does the Restylane injection process hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as completely tolerable. We utilize premium, medical-grade topical numbing creams prior to your session, and the Restylane syringes are pre-blended with lidocaine to continuously numb the area during placement.

4. Will Restylane make my lips look fake or "ducky"?
Never. Dr. Raeesy specializes in conservative micro-layering techniques. By respecting your natural lip proportions and borders, he delivers soft, balanced results that integrate perfectly into your facial structure.

5. What is the recovery downtime after an under-eye or lip filler treatment?
There is completely zero downtime. You can resume your office workday or daily errands immediately. Minor localized swelling or pinpoint bruising can occur, which typically resolves within a few days and is easily hidden with makeup.

6. Can Restylane filler be dissolved if I change my mind?
Yes, absolutely. One of the primary benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they are 100% reversible. Dr. Raeesy can instantly dissolve the product using a safe, localized enzyme injection called hyaluronidase.

7. How fast will I see my final results?
You will see an immediate structural change before leaving our office. However, your final, beautifully blended results will fully lock in after 7 to 10 days once any initial minor swelling has completely subsided.

8. Are there any common side effects after treatment?
Normal clinical side effects include temporary localized redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or faint bruising at the injection site. These are standard healing responses and fade quickly.

9. Can I exercise right after getting dermal fillers?
We recommend avoiding high-intensity cardiovascular gym workouts, heavy weightlifting, and intense heat (saunas, hot tubs) for 24 to 48 hours to minimize blood flow and swelling to the treated zones.

10. How many syringes of Restylane will I need for my lips or under-eyes?
Most natural lip augmentations or under-eye tear trough treatments require just one single syringe of product to achieve a dramatic, refreshed, and flawless result.
