Restylane
In Riverside and Orange County

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that restores facial volume and structure by replenishing a substance naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping skin appear plump and hydrated, but its levels decline over time due to aging and environmental factors. Restylane treatment works by injecting HA gel beneath the skin to provide support, contour, and smoothing. Different formulas within the Restylane collection vary in firmness and flexibility, allowing your provider to select the most appropriate option for each area, whether lifting the cheeks, defining the jawline, softening smile lines, or enhancing the lips.

Common Areas Treated With Restylane

Restylane is highly versatile and can be used to address multiple areas affected by volume loss and aging. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin, jawline, lips, and under-eye hollows, as well as the backs of the hands for patients experiencing visible thinning. During a consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Your Restylane Treatment

To start your treatment, your qualified and experienced provider will discuss your cosmetic goals with you to determine the best products for your needs. Most patients do not consider Restylane injections to be painful, but a topical numbing cream can be applied at the start of your treatment to maximize your comfort. The procedure only takes a few minutes.

Who Can Benefit from Restylane Gel Filler?

Men and women who want to restore facial volume and improve the appearance of deep facial wrinkles can benefit from Restylane dermal fillers. Restylane fillers are also a great choice for lip augmentation with lip fillers or non-surgical facial contouring.

Restylane for Men for Subtle, Masculine Rejuvenation

More men are turning to Restylane to maintain a refreshed appearance without looking overdone. Treatment for male patients focuses on preserving strong, masculine facial structure while restoring areas that have lost definition with age, such as the jawline, chin, and deeper facial folds. Because male facial anatomy differs from female anatomy, injection technique and product selection are carefully adjusted for a more masculine facial structure.

What to Expect at Your Restylane Appointment

Your Restylane appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. After determining the appropriate products for your treatment plan, we will provide different numbing options, such as topical numbing cream, dental block, or local anesthetic, and most Restylane formulas contain lidocaine to further minimize discomfort during injection. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur afterward but generally resolves within a few days. Results are visible immediately, with final refinement developing over the next one to two weeks as the filler settles naturally into the tissue.

Restylane Treatment Results and Recovery

There is minimal recovery and downtime required after Restylane dermal filler injections, although you should avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for the first few days. Mild swelling and bruising are common at the injection site but could be worsened by sun exposure. Restylane results can take about 6 weeks to fully develop, but these improvements in your skin quality and the reduction in facial wrinkles and folds will last 6-18 months, depending on the product used and where it was injected.

Combining Restylane With Botox and Other Treatments

Restylane is often combined with neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While Restylane restores lost volume and enhances contours, Botox and Dysport relax the muscle activity that causes dynamic wrinkles, allowing the two treatments to complement one another. Many patients also incorporate skin treatments such as microneedling or laser therapies to improve texture and tone alongside structural enhancement. By addressing both volume loss and skin quality, combination treatments create more balanced, natural-looking, and longer-lasting results.
