Why Restylane?

As the skin ages, it naturally begins to develop folds, lines, and wrinkles that may make you feel older than you truly are. In these instances, injectables are a great solution; they serve as mechanical wrinkle fillers and can inflate a troubled spot temporarily, leaving you with smooth skin that lasts several months.

However, with so many injectables on the market today, it is important that you discuss your options with a qualified surgeon in order to determine which injectable is right for you.

If you are tired of having wrinkles in your forehead, along the nasolabial lines, and at your smile lines, Scottsdale Restylane may be the right solution for you. Approved by the FDA in 2003, Restylane is a growing favorite among surgeons due to its positive and long-lasting results; the effects of Scottsdale Restylane treatments can benefit you for six months or more.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Restylane is a clear gel made from non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring chemical found in the human body. This decreases risks for complications since your body can naturally absorb the gel after several months.

During the procedure, injections are administered in a doctor's office. Patients are typically between 35 to 60 years of age and treatment is most often performed with local anesthetic. Though there may be slight discomfort from the needle during the injections, patients typically only have to go through a 5 to 30 minute procedure depending on the area being serviced.

Patients able to return home shortly after treatment and results become fully apparent within one week.

How Long is Recovery?

The skin typically swells after undergoing a Scottsdale Restylane treatment, but it typically only lasts for two or three days. Though patients are able to resume normal activities immediately, it is best to stay out of the sun until healing is complete. You may experience headache, nausea, redness, and pain at the injection points, but these are all normal occurrences that can be treated after consulting with your doctor.

What about the Cost?

Restylane is a cosmetic procedure and thus is not typically covered by insurance, unless it is out of medical necessity. Patients typically receive multiple Restylane injections, but these vary in cost depending on the number of targeted areas and their severity.

Discuss your payment options with your surgeon if you face any financial difficulty; many offices offer payment plans that can fit most budgets.

It is important that you discuss all of your options with a qualified professional who has experience with Restylane injections. Be sure to view your doctor's credentials and success rate in order to receive the best treatment possible.
