Candidates for Restylane
Candidates for Restylane include individuals unhappy with the appearance of their aging skin. Most patients come in with age-related concerns regarding the loss of volume or the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on their skin. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Restylane is through a consultation with one of the injectors at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery. During a private consultation, one of our experts will review your medical history and cosmetic goals and curate a treatment plan for you based on your needs.
Restylane Procedure
Before your Restylane injectable treatment begins, your treatment area will be gently cleaned by one of our professional injectors. Your injector may create markups on your treatment area. They will then carefully inject your desired Restylane formulation into the treatment area. Restylane products contain lidocaine to help improve patient comfort. You will feel minimal pain; however, slight pressure may be experienced in the targeted treatment area.
