What are Restylane® Fillers? A Natural Approach to Rejuvenation.

Restylane® fillers are clear, biodegradable gels made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in your skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. 

As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, leading to a loss of volume, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Restylane® fillers replenish this lost hyaluronic acid to restore youthful fullness and smooth out wrinkles and folds. Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, Restylane® fillers integrate seamlessly with your own tissue. This means you’ll get incredible, natural-looking results that enhance your features without looking artificial or overdone.

What Can Restylane® Treat? Addressing Your Specific Concerns.

Restylane® offers a variety of specialized formulations designed to target specific areas of the face. It’s a dynamic product that can address a range of concerns:

  • Transform img

    Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)

    These are the parentheses-shaped lines that extend from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. With age and repeated smiling and laughing, they become more pronounced. Restylane® can soften these folds and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance to the lower face.

  • Transform img

    Marionette Lines

    Marionette lines are the vertical lines that run downward from the corners of your mouth, sometimes giving the face a downturned or sad appearance. Restylane® can subtly lift and soften these lines to provide a more cheerful and youthful expression.

  • Transform img

    Lip Enhancement

    Restylane® can create fuller, more defined lips. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic increase in volume, Dr. Ahmad will work with you to achieve your desired lip shape and fullness while maintaining a natural look.

  • Transform img

    Cheek Augmentation

    As we age, our cheeks lose volume, which can lead to a flat and hollow appearance. Restylane® can restore lost volume in the cheeks, creating a more lifted, youthful, and contoured appearance. This can also help improve the definition of your cheekbones.

  • Transform img

    Under-Eye Hollows (Tear Troughs)

    Hollows under the eyes can cast shadows that make you look tired and older. Restylane® can gently fill in these hollows, reducing the appearance of dark circles and creating a more refreshed and rejuvenated look. This delicate area requires specialized knowledge and precision, and Dr. Ahmad's expertise in oculofacial surgery makes him exceptionally well-suited for this treatment.

  • Transform img

    Temple Hollowing

    Loss of volume in the temples can create a gaunt or aged appearance. Restylane® can restore fullness to the temples, smoothing out the contours of the face and creating a more youthful profile.

  • Transform img

    Back of the Hands

    Aging can cause the hands to lose volume, resulting in prominent veins and tendons. Restylane® can add volume to the back of the hands and reduce the appearance of these signs of aging. The result is a more youthful hand appearance.

  • Transform img

    Other Areas

    Restylane® can also address other areas of concern, including chin augmentation, jawline definition, and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and other areas of the face. Dr. Ahmad will carefully assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate Restylane® product and treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Ahmad does not do a significant amount of Restylane® around the eyes unless the patient has thick eyelid skin and no puffiness. Patients with puffiness of their lower eyelids or lax skin should not get Restylane® under the eyes as it will result in more puffiness as the product swells with water

  • 1

    Personalized Consultation

    Your Restylane® journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Ahmad. Throughout this entire journey, he prioritizes your concerns and wants to understand your aesthetic goals. He will take the time to assess your facial anatomy and explain the different Restylane® products available. You’ll discuss the benefits and risks of treatment, and should you have any questions, Dr. Ahmad is happy to answer them.

  • 2

    Preparing for Your Treatment

    Before the injections, Dr. Ahmad will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to keep you comfortable. In some cases, Dr. Ahmad may also use a local anesthetic injection to further numb the area. He will ensure you are completely comfortable before proceeding with the injections.

  • 3

    Precise and Gentle Injections

    Using a very fine needle, Dr. Ahmad will skillfully inject the Restylane® filler into the targeted areas. He will carefully control the amount and placement of the filler to achieve the desired results in a natural and balanced way. His meticulous technique and gentle touch minimize discomfort during the injection process.

    Immediate Results and Post-Treatment Care

    You'll see an immediate improvement in volume, wrinkles, and facial contours after your Restylane® injections. Dr. Ahmad will review detailed post-treatment instructions with you so you know what to expect. This includes information on how to minimize swelling and bruising and what to expect during the healing process. He will also answer any additional questions you may have.

  • 5

    Follow-Up and Maintaining Your Results

    While the results of Restylane® are immediate, they typically last between six months and a year or more, depending on the specific product used, the treatment area, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. To maintain your desired results, Dr. Ahmad may recommend scheduling follow-up treatments. He will work with you to develop a long-term and adjustable treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Recovery and Results: What to Expect

Most patients experience minimal downtime after Restylane® injections, often returning to their regular activities immediately following treatment. You may experience some mild and temporary side effects at the injection sites, such as:

  • Swelling

    Some swelling is common and typically subsides within a few days.

  • Bruising

    Minor bruising can occasionally occur, but it's usually minimal and easily concealed with makeup.

  • Redness

    Slight redness at the injection sites is normal and usually fades quickly.

  • Tenderness

    You may experience mild tenderness in the treated areas for a few days.

  • Small Bumps

    Sometimes the product will clump, which you may not be able to see but may be able to feel. If the bumps are visible, just come back to the office, and Dr. Ahmad will dissolve a small amount so the skin feels smooth!
