Dermal fillers are safe and effective cosmetic injectables that can enhance facial features, correct aesthetic imperfections, and reverse the natural aging process. At The Mack Cosmetic Center locations in Tampa, Clearwater, and Lakeland, FL, we offer one of the most popular dermal fillers, Restylane. This multipurpose filler can help patients look and feel their best after a quick, virtually painless treatment.
Where Can You Use Restylane?
Restylane is a dermal filler designed to treat volume loss on the middle and lower half of the face. Not only can it restore lost volume, but it can also naturally and subtly enhance the lips for aesthetic or aging-related purposes. We can inject it into the area around the mouth to smooth smile lines and facial folds of different severities.
We can also use it to naturally augment the lips to help patients increase lip volume to correct how aging has caused their lips to thin or simply help them achieve their ideal lips.
How Long Will the Results Last?
After you undergo treatment with Restylane to treat aging or enhance your lips, you can expect your results to last up to 18 months. This long-lasting filler is an ideal solution for patients who want to achieve different aging-related and cosmetic goals and temporary yet long-lasting results.
When Will I See the Results?
You can expect immediate results after your first treatment. Once we inject Restylane into your desired treatment area, you’ll see improvements as soon as your appointment is complete. It will take approximately one week for the filler to settle in the injection location, and you’ll see the best results 30 days after your treatment.
Is It Safe?
Restylane is the original filler from this collection of dermal fillers and is completely safe and FDA-cleared for cosmetic use. It contains hyaluronic acid particles that closely resemble those that the body produces naturally, so not only is it well tolerated by the body after treatment, but it’s completely safe. As long as you’re a good candidate for the treatment, you can feel confident about your injection appointment and results.
Will I Look Natural Post-Treatment?
One of the benefits of scheduling your treatment at The Mack Cosmetic Center is that you’ll receive treatment from expert injectors who are skilled and experienced in administering this particular product and know exactly what it will take to help you achieve your ideal appearance.
You can expect subtle and natural-looking results that complement your appearance and enhance your features without making you look overfilled, overdone, or like a completely different person.
Can I Combine This Filler With Other Treatments?
We can combine Restylane with one or more of the other fillers from this collection, as well as with neuromodulators and other skincare treatments. This line of fillers includes products that can address virtually every aging-related and cosmetic concern, including volume loss, chin retrusion, thinning lips, undereye hollows, nasolabial folds, and more.
If you’re interested in any of the other fillers from this collection, we can give you more details during your pre-treatment consultation and make product recommendations based on any other treatment goals you may have.
Combining Fillers With Skincare Treatments
This dermal filler can also be combined with other skincare treatments for enhanced results. Dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles and enhance your appearance, but they can’t give you healthier skin.
When you begin a treatment plan that includes dermal filler injections and skincare treatments, you can expect the best results because not only will you be targeting volume loss and enhancing your features, but you’ll also be taking steps to promote optimal skin health and dermal filler injections always look best on healthy skin.
How Long Will My Treatment Take?
Another one of the benefits of undergoing a dermal filler treatment is that the appointments are quick. Typically, treatments take less than 30 minutes, and then you can resume your normal daily activities.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Restylane results will last up to 18 months post-treatment, depending on where we inject it and how fast your body metabolizes the ingredients. If you do want to add any additional filler after your treatment, we can help ensure that you love your results and that they exceed your expectations.
How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?
The best way to prepare for your treatment is by staying hydrated, temporarily discontinuing the use of blood-thinning supplements and medications, and avoiding alcohol consumption. We can provide you with complete preparatory instructions at your pre-treatment consultation.
Is There Any Downtime?
There’s no downtime after treatment, but you will need to follow some post-treatment care instructions to ensure you achieve the best and most beautiful results. We advise patients to avoid workouts for the first 24 hours since strenuous exercise can interfere with the results. It’s also important to avoid hot environments and anything that could increase your body temperature or blood pressure.
You’ll need to continue to avoid using blood-thinning supplements and medications for the first 24 hours and avoid touching the treatment site or any treatment like a facial massage that could put pressure on the injection sites and cause product migration. We can provide you with thorough aftercare instructions at your appointment.
Am I a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for Restylane are patients in good health who aren’t allergic to any product ingredients. An initial consultation at our office is the best way to confirm your treatment eligibility.
You’ll meet with an injector who will evaluate the areas you want to treat, gather some medical information, and answer any questions about the treatment process or the product. At this time, we can also give you information about the other dermal fillers from this line and design a comprehensive skincare and anti-aging treatment plan that meets your exact needs.
