Are you looking for a facial transformation without going under the knife? Enter Restylane Lyft. The firmest of the Restylane dermal filler family, this injectable hyaluronic acid gel treatment helps with issues from nasolabial folds to hollow cheeks. It can also give volume and smoother skin to the hands. You can have a younger-looking face in just one visit, in most cases. Learn more about what you can expect from treatment with Restylane Lyft.
What can I expect during the procedure?
Like other injectable treatments, Restylane Lyft is a very simple in-office procedure. Lidocaine, an anesthetic in the injection, minimizes pain, and your doctor may use topical anesthesia as well. The hyaluronic acid gel is delivered using an ultra fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula, depending on the area being treated. You will often need just one treatment; however, if you desire, a second application two weeks after the first is a “touch up” option.
How does Restylane Lyft change my appearance?
Restylane Lyft is used for people who have prominent nasolabial folds (also known as “smile lines”), hollow cheeks, hollow eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet, folds on the chin, or a sagging jawline. In short, Restylane Lyft can restore the look of the face which has volume loss and/or more prominent wrinkles, giving noticeable results even to patients suffering from more severe signs of aging.
Restylane Lyft does not lose effectiveness over time between treatments, because of the hyaluronic acid component. So you’re more likely to have consistently excellent results all the way until your next treatment appointment. This is because hyaluronic acid “feeds” collagen, helping the body to produce more.
Restylane Lyft can also add volume to the back of the hands. As the body ages, the hands lose volume, which amplifies the appearance of wrinkles. Finally, Restylane Lyft adds volume to the lips.
Results are instantly visible, and will continue to improve for a few days after treatment (usually from 3-7 days afterward). Results after getting Restylane Lyft last from 6-12 months, depending on the area of injection. Also, further injections usually work better because the cells respond more quickly to the hyaluronic acid each time.
