Aging is natural, but the desire to maintain a youthful, vibrant appearance is universal. Today’s aesthetic advancements allow individuals to rejuvenate their look without invasive surgery. Dermal fillers, like Restylane, are among the most popular choices for those seeking a minimally invasive solution to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance skin texture. Restylane is favored for its ability to deliver subtle yet impactful results that enhance one’s natural beauty.
Dr. Leonard Grossman, a highly esteemed plastic surgeon recognized globally for his expertise and skill, is at the forefront of this transformation. Dr. Grossman started using Restylane while it was still in the experimental stages and has garnered thousands of patients who have undergone multiple uses of this fantastic filler since 1995. Dr. Grossman’s reputation as one of the world’s most respected and renowned plastic surgeons assures patients that they are in capable hands. With his deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetic artistry, Dr. Grossman is ready to address your questions and provide a tailored approach to achieve your desired look.
What is Restylane?
Restylane was the first Hyaluronic Acid(HA) filler in the world with HA being a substance naturally found in the skin. As we age, the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels diminish, leading to volume loss, sagging, and the formation of wrinkles. Restylane injections replenish this essential substance, restoring fullness to areas affected by the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid’s hydrating and volumizing properties make Restylane a popular choice for those looking to enhance facial features and improve skin elasticity. When administered by an experienced professional like Dr. Grossman, Restylane provides natural-looking results, enhancing facial contours without altering the person’s unique features.
How Restylane Works
Restylane works by being injected as a hyaluronic acid gel into targeted areas of the face, where it binds with water molecules to add volume and smooth out wrinkles. The injection process involves a series of precise applications that elevate and support the skin’s structure. Over time, Restylane integrates with the skin tissue, maintaining a natural feel and appearance.
Dr. Leonard Grossman’s expertise ensures that each injection is placed with accuracy, focusing on facial balance and symmetry. With his skillful approach, patients experience a refreshed and rejuvenated look that still feels authentic.
Benefits of Restylane for Facial Rejuvenation
- Restoring Facial Volume
- One of the primary benefits of Restylane is its ability to restore lost facial volume. As we age, our cheeks, temples, and under-eye areas often appear hollowed or sunken. Restylane can effectively plums these areas, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance.
- Smoothing Wrinkles and Fine Lines
- Restylane is particularly effective in softening deep lines, such as the nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (the lines running down from the corners of the mouth). The hyaluronic acid in Restylane fills these lines, reducing their appearance and giving the face a smoother look.
- Hydrating the Skin
- Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its hydrating effects, which help to improve skin texture and elasticity. By attracting and retaining moisture, Restylane injections can enhance the skin’s suppleness, leaving it looking radiant and refreshed.
- Natural-Looking Results
- One of Restylane’s key advantages is its ability to deliver subtle, natural results. Unlike treatments that create an overdone appearance, Restylane enhances your features while respecting your unique facial characteristics. Dr. Grossman’s skill in applying this filler ensures results that look organic and balanced.
- Long-Lasting Effects
- Depending on the area treated and individual skin factors, the results of Restylane can last between 6 to 18 months, but in some individuals Restylane can last a life time. This longevity allows patients to enjoy the benefits of facial rejuvenation without frequent maintenance treatments, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for long-term facial enhancement.
Popular Areas for Restylane Injections
Restylane’s versatility allows it to be used in multiple areas of the face:
- Cheeks: Adds volume and contours to the cheek area, giving the face a youthful lift.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooths deep lines around the nose and mouth.
- Lips: Provides fullness and defines the lip shape for a more attractive pout.
- Under-Eye Hollows: Reduces the appearance of dark circles and hollows, making you look more awake and refreshed, but here, the product should only be used in patients with thick skin.
- “Nose job in the bottle” is a procedure Dr. Grossman introduced in 1996 while treating a patient on the show “Extra”. Understanding the nasal anatomy, the desired outcome and how the filler should be used, allows Dr. Grossman to recreate beautiful and long-lasting results without any surgery.
- Hollow Temples can be filled out with Restylane in a very safe manner proving natural looking results.
- Aged hands can be treated with Restylane to create more fullness and youthful appearance.
- Men with undersized private parts can increase girth and provide a more pleasurable experience to their partner.
- Philtral Columns, the raised ridges running from the nose to the lips, are frequently disappearing as the person ages and restoring these structures make an individual look much younger.
Restylane vs. Other Dermal Fillers
Restylane stands out among other fillers due to its unique formulation and proven safety profile. Unlike some fillers that may be too dense or too soft for certain areas, Restylane offers a range of formulations that can be customized for different facial regions. Dr. Grossman will assess your needs and recommend Restylane if it is the ideal choice for achieving your desired outcome.
Compared to other fillers, Restylane is known for its consistency in delivering smooth, natural results. Additionally, it has been extensively tested for safety and efficacy, making it a trusted option for patients seeking facial rejuvenation.
What to Expect During and After a Restylane Treatment
During a Restylane treatment, Dr. Grossman will carefully map out the injection sites to ensure balanced and symmetrical results. The procedure itself is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. For added comfort, a numbing cream may be applied before the injections.
After the treatment, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve as the hyaluronic acid integrates with your skin’s tissues. Patients can usually resume their regular activities shortly after the treatment, making Restylane an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.
