The Science of Beauty
We live in an age where we can slow the process of aging. Many cosmetic treatments and procedures available to us today are non-invasive, have minimal downtime, and provide optimal results. A popular dermal filler choice in Houston is Restylane, with over 2 million people each year opting for injectables as part of their skincare regimen. Dr. Mark Schusterman is a double-board-certified top plastic surgeon in Houston, and will explain the differences between Restylane injectables and create a plan that is right for you.
What is Restylane?
Restylane uses innovative NASHA technology that tailors each product for a specific use. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, the NASHA technology makes each product specific to the treated area by varying the hyaluronic particles’ size.
Smaller particles are for fine lines and shaping, and medium particles are for severe skin folds and wrinkles. The large particles add volume and treat severe wrinkles. Restylane works on the following areas of the face and body:
- Enhances lips
- Smoothes facial folds and wrinkles
- Fills lines around the mouth
- Lifts and add volume to cheeks
- Restores the back of hands to look younger
How do I know if Restylane is right for me?
It’s important to tell Dr. Schusterman about any medications you are taking or if you are allergic to lidocaine. When you are ready to take control of how you look, discover the robust science of Restylane treatments at Dr. Schusterman’s Houston office and schedule a consultation.
Restylane Recovery & Results
Restylane is premixed with a local anesthetic (lidocaine) to alleviate any pain or discomfort during treatment. Restylane treatments typically take 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Once your treatment is done, your results are immediate, and you may return to your daily activities after the procedure. Some patients may experience some redness or swelling at the injection site, but a cold compress will help. Within one to two days, you will see a noticeable difference.
