Atlanta Restalyne®
Other Atlanta Procedures
Interested in Atlanta Restylane® treatments? Restylane® is perhaps the most popular facial filler that has come along behind Botox as a more permanent facial rejuvenation material that can be used effectively for many facial features that need youthful restoration. Restylane® uses as its base material a non-animal hyaluronic acid filler, which separates it from other similar dermal fillers. Contact us today to schedule your Atlanta Restylane® appointment.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in the human body that generates the growth of collagen- which is in turn the natural material that maintains a smooth, healthy complexion in youthful faces. As we age we lose collagen, resulting in a reduction of fat in the face. The outcome of this process is the development of lines and wrinkles as our facial characteristics lose their elasticity and begin to sag.
Because Restylane does not use hyaluronic acid generated by animals, its manufacturers state that there is no risk of infection and less risk allergic reaction. The fact remains, however, that Restylane or any dermal filler can cause allergic reaction or rejection because it involves the introduction of foreign material into the body’s layers of tissue.
Nevertheless Restylane retains its popularity due to its relatively risk free characteristics. Dr. Howard uses this choice of filler for the area beneath the eyes, for lip enhancement and for areas of the face where collagen addition will help contribute to a more youthful face with minimal wrinkles. Generally, Restylane’s rejuvenation effects last six to nine months.
About Restylane®When injected into the skin, Restylane® smooths wrinkles and adds volume to the face. Because Restylane® is injected in very small quantities using a tiny needle, anesthesia is usually not necessary. Results of Restylane® are temporary and duration varies depending on your age and the condition of your skin. Some results have lasted as long as one year.
Recovery from Restylane
Restylane injections will cause some swelling and possibly bruising because of the soft tissue where those injections are performed. Redness and itching in the tissue will remain for a few days. There may also be some pain associated with Restylane recovery; discuss this issue with Dr. Howard and ask what can be done to minimize it.
Hypersensitive skin may result in more serious side effects from Restylane treatment. Swelling and discoloration may remain for an extended period (a few weeks); there may be some acne-like reactions as well. These types of side effects develop in approximately one of every two thousand patients. Contact us today to schedule your Atlanta Restylane appointment.
Why Restylane?
The cosmetic rejuvenation market is being flooded with hyaluronic acid fillers, each making its unique claim of superiority. Restylane has been on the market for five years and enjoys widespread use both in the United States and abroad. It has proven to be a safe, sanitary choice for soft-tissue filler that is both versatile and relatively free of adverse side effects.
Cosmetic plastic surgeons choose the tools and materials of their craft with care. Dr. Howard has treated hundreds of patients with Restylane and found the results to be both satisfactory and trouble-free for his patients seeking facial rejuvenation. It takes experience to be able to separate product performance from marketing and salesmanship.
