Are the wrinkles and sagging that have appeared on your face making your feel self-conscious? At Athena Plastic Surgery in Stuart, FL, our Restylane treatments could be the solution you’ve been looking for. When you receive this filler, you’ll look younger and feel more confident in your skin.
What Are the Different Types of Restylane?
If you’re looking for a way to look younger and healthier, then this dermal filler could be right for you. The aging process can cause a lot of self-consciousness, and make you feel less confident than you should be. But don’t worry, our clinic has a solution for you.
This dermal filler will help fill in areas of your face where you may have lost volume, offering you a younger, plumper look. It will also help to smooth out wrinkles that have appeared in various parts of the face. Depending on the results you’re looking for, you’ll receive one or more types of this filler.
Restylane
This is the original formula for this filler. It was designed specifically to treat moderate or deeply set wrinkles and folds on your face. Nasolabial folds are the folds that appear in between your nose and mouth and can be smoothed out using this formula.
If you have tear troughs or particularly dark circles around the eyes, then this filler will help to eliminate them, making you look younger and more alert. It can also be applied to the lips if you’re looking to add more fullness and definition to them.
Refyne
Wrinkles can appear all over your face, but some of them can make you appear older than others. Some of the worst wrinkles are nasolabial folds and marionette lines, which are the lines that run downwards from the corners of your mouth. These wrinkles tend to be deeper than others, which can make them more difficult to treat.
Refyne is formulated to effectively treat these wrinkles. While many injectables treat these kinds of wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles underneath the skin, Refyne simply adds more volume to the area to smooth them out for more natural-looking results.
Defyne
This formula is also effective for treating marionette and nasolabial folds. Unlike Refyne, however, Defyne is better for smoothing out wrinkles that have only just begun to appear, and aren’t particularly deep yet.
This makes it a great option for people who are just beginning to see wrinkles but don’t want to go all out with Refyne.
Silk
Wrinkles tend to be more severe and show up sooner around parts of the face that move around a lot. Your mouth is one of those areas. This is why laugh lines or smile lines, the vertical lines appearing on the sides of your mouth, are so common. Many people find these particular wrinkles to be undesirable.
Silk is specifically formulated to treat these wrinkles. In fact, it’s the first FDA-approved dermal filler for these specific types of lines. This formula is thinner than the others, making it perfect for those looking for gentler, subtler results. It can also be applied to the lips to make them fuller.
Lyft
Aging often results in a loss of volume in the face. This is extremely normal, but it does result in an appearance that’s gaunter and older-looking. As your face loses volume, the skin on it will begin to sag which can result in jowls. Lyft is formulated to add more volume back into the face, lifting sagging skin and providing you with a younger and healthier appearance.
When it comes to wrinkling and loss of volume, most people tend to focus only on the face. But that isn’t the only area where volume loss can result in you looking older than you feel. Your hands also move around a lot throughout each day, which means they wrinkle quickly too. One of the best things about Lyft is that it can also work to give your hands more volume and smooth wrinkles out there, too.
Everything You Need to Know About Restylane
If you’re thinking about getting the filler, then you probably have a few questions. Here’s an in-depth look at what exactly this filler is, how it works, and what you can expect when you visit our clinic to receive your injections.
What Is It?
This is a dermal filler that is designed to add volume to your face, providing you with a plumper and more youthful appearance. Unlike other injectables that try to smooth out wrinkles by freezing the muscles underneath, this product fills in the desired areas which will result in the skin becoming tighter and smoother.
It’s applied to the desired areas of the face with the use of a super fine and precise needle. This makes it a great option for anyone looking for a non-invasive treatment that is still effective.
How Does It Work?
The main ingredient in this filler is hyaluronic acid. This ingredient is a sugar that you can find already present in your body. Some of the areas you’ll find it include naturally in your skin, your eyes, and connective tissues in your joints. Hyaluronic acid does a few things for your body, including adding both volume, moisture, and lubrication.
When it’s injected into your skin, the first thing that it does is fill in areas where you may have lost some volume. It will also stimulate your body’s natural production of the protein collagen, which will help your skin remain supple and firm. Finally, hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to draw in moisture. This helps keep the areas hydrated and allows you to enjoy your results for a longer time.
Why Do We Get Wrinkles?
Your skin is made up of a variety of chemicals. Hyaluronic acid is one of these chemicals, but as you get older the amount of this sugar reduces. Your skin also contains the proteins elastin and collagen, which both work to provide it with its structure as well as its ability to smooth back out after you’ve made facial expressions.
The amount of these proteins also reduces the older you get. This means that the creases that you form when you make facial expressions become permanent, as your skin is no longer able to snap back into place. Getting a dermal filler can help fill in the volume you’ve lost and smooth out the wrinkles present.
What Is Treatment Like?
If you decide that this dermal filler is right for you, then the first step is finding a licensed provider. At our clinic, our carefully-trained staff will make every step of the process feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed.
How Do I Prepare?
One of the best parts of receiving this collection of dermal fillers is that you won’t need to do much to prepare beforehand. Unlike some other treatment options, there are simply a few things you’ll need to avoid in the week or so before your appointment to make the treatment as effective as possible.
To prevent bruising, you’ll need to avoid any medications and supplements that can act as blood thinners. This includes things like ibuprofen and aspirin. You’ll also want to stop drinking and smoking.
What Happens at My Appointment?
When you come to our clinic, the first thing we’ll do is set up a consultation with you. During this time, we’ll be able to discuss which areas you’d like targeted. This will allow us to come up with an effective treatment plan for you. It’s also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions that you might have about the process.
Once the consultation is done, we can set you up with your injections. We’ll begin by thoroughly cleaning the skin in the areas being treated to remove any grime buildup. We may also apply some numbing cream that will help make your experience as pain-free as possible. Once the skin has been numbed, our trained technicians will strategically apply the injections to the desired areas.
What Do I Do After the Injections?
If you’re looking for a fast-acting treatment, this is it. You’ll see noticeable changes to your appearance immediately after your injections are done. Since the treatment is non-invasive, you won’t need to schedule a lengthy recovery time, and you’ll be able to go right back to work once the process is done. If you’ve had to have multiple injections, however, you may want to take the day off to relax afterward.
There are just a few things you’ll need to do if you want to maintain effective results. Avoid staying out in direct sunlight, or performing any strenuous activity. Anything that could make you sweat should also be avoided. Other than that, you’ll be able to get right back to your busy schedule after your treatment is complete.
The Benefits
You’ll Feel More Confident
Wrinkles, skin sagging, and volume loss are all natural side effects of aging. But, unfortunately, they can also cause a lot of self-conscious feelings. As more and more wrinkles and folds show up on your face, you may find yourself feeling less and less confident.
But if you decide to get this filler, you’ll smooth out those wrinkles and fill in your face for a younger, healthier look.
You’ll Get Fast Results
If you’re getting an anti-wrinkle treatment, then you want your treatment to kick in quickly. When you go with this filler, you’ll see noticeable results as soon as you leave the clinic.
And those results don’t stop there. Over the next few weeks, the full results of your treatment will become apparent.
The Treatment Is Safe
There are many treatment options available that are effective, but carry a certain amount of risk. Surgical treatments may not feel safe for everyone, and some injectables contain ingredients that you may not feel comfortable putting into your skin.
This filler, however, contains as its main ingredient something that is already found in the human body. It also stimulates the production of collagen, a natural process that your body does on its own.
