Restylane® Treatments
What should I expect at my Restylane treatment?
Once your UFP injector determines you are a good candidate for Restylane or Restylane-L, a topical numbing cream is applied to the projected injection site and let to sit for 20-30 minutes to minimize any discomfort. Restylane-L contains lidocaine to ease discomfort as well. The actual treatment takes approximately 15 minutes and it’s recommended strenuous exercise, alcohol, and extended periods of time in the sun are avoided until the next day.
What should I expect following my Restylane treatment?
After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14 days in lips. Dr. Thompson provides a reusable ice pack to apply for a brief amount of time to reduce these risks. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years.
