Restylane Jacksonville FL | Facial Wrinkle Filler Near Me Cost

As you get older, your body begins to lose collagen, a valuable protein that gives your skin its volume. With the loss of collagen, your skin begins to sag and you may experience wrinkles and lines on your face, especially around your mouth. Restylane can correct these fine lines and wrinkles in just moments!

About Restylane

Restylane is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid gel, a substance naturally made by your body. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid can provide volume to plump up your nasolabial folds or marionette lines. Restylane is an FDA-approved, nonsurgical, and non-invasive dermal filler that can also be used for lip augmentation to give thin lips natural-looking volume and a plumper, fuller look.

Restylane is actually a family of dermal fillers and contains various different formulations designed for each treatment area. The Restylane family contains other hyaluronic acid fillers like:

  • Restylane Silk
  • Restylane Lyft
  • Restylane Refyne
  • Restylane Defyne
  • Restylane Kysse
  • Restylane L

Restylane fillers are some of the most popular dermal fillers available. Dr. Basile and our experienced injectors can help you determine which Restylane filler is best for your unique aesthetic goals.

Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane?

Dermal fillers are most useful for patients who want to reduce the appearance of the following aesthetic concerns without undergoing plastic surgery:

  • Mild to moderate facial wrinkles and folds
  • Dark circles
  • Lipstick lines
  • Facial folds
  • Laugh lines
  • Smile lines
  • Nasolabial folds

Dermal fillers can also be used to correct midface contour deficiencies, cheek augmentation, and lip augmentation. If you have moderate to severe facial wrinkles, you may achieve better results with plastic surgery.

If you are 21 and older, a non-smoker, and in good health, you may be a candidate for Restylane. Restylane can easily be combined with other aesthetic and medspa procedures like Botox or microneedling for the best results. Dr. Basile can help you better understand if you are a good candidate for Restylane and will develop a complete treatment package during your consultation.

How Are Restylane Injections Performed?

To begin, Dr. Basile will discuss your aesthetic goals and how Restylane can benefit your overall appearance. He will assess your treatment areas and carefully develop a treatment plan to help you reverse lost volume and achieve a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Basile will apply a numbing agent to ensure maximum comfort for your treatment. However, most patients are comfortable without a topical numbing cream, but it can depend on your treatment area. Once the anesthetic has taken effect, a very fine needle places the hyaluronic acid gel in the skin to naturally enhance your features and fill and smooth your wrinkles. You’ll be able to see results immediately after your Restylane injection.

Restylane Results and Recovery

Restylane will take effect immediately; therefore, you can see your results instantly after your treatment! You may return to normal activities immediately but should avoid strenuous activity or sweating. You may have some skin redness at the injection sites, but this subsides within the day. Some patients experience minor bruising and swelling, but this typically subsides within two weeks. To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications and certain supplements before and after your treatment.

Restylane results tend to last between six and nine months. However, this length of time can vary based on your specific Restylane product and the treatment areas. Dr. Basile will help you understand how to maintain results and when to return for your next injection session. We typically recommend having maintenance treatments every three to six months.
