Consultation and Restylane® treatment

Come to your consultation prepared with some questions about your treatment expectations. You will be asked about your medical history.When you leave your consultation you should feel well informed about Restylane, how it works, and what results to expect.

Together with your Restylane Practitioneryou will decide which Restylane product is suitable for your needs. Before treatment, the practitioner will discuss pain relief with you. As every person has different preferences and sensitivity, Restylane is available both with and without integrated pain-relief. Depending on which area you will have treated you will also have a choice of other anaesthesia, such as anaesthetic cream, dental block or ice.

A treatment with Restylane typically takes about 15-30 minutes. It is performed by injecting Restylane through a fine needle into your skin to fill wrinkles, add volume, shape your face or lips or revitalise your skin.

Post-treatment

Your practitioner will provide you with post treatment advice. It is normal to experience some post-treatment discomfort, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. This typically subsides after a few days but can last up to one to two weeks. It is advisable to return for a top-up treatment to achieve optimal and lasting results.

Your Next Restylane Treatment

As Restylane is naturally biodegraded, you will eventually need to repeat the treatment to maintain the result. Return visits are typically made after 6-12 months for wrinkles and within 6 months for lips. For skin revitalisation with Restylane Vital a typical treatment programme comprises of three treatment sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart with a top-up maintenance treatment every 4-6 months, depending on the condition of your skin.
