Restylane

Restylane is a collection of injectable dermal fillers with formulations of non-animal sourced hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin. As the first HA filler approved by the FDA, it was designed to closely match the human body’s hyaluronic acid with minimal cross-linking.

What Is the Treatment Experience?

Before Restylane treatment, you will have a consultation with Dr. Cohen. He will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the Restylane products best suited to your needs. On the day of your injections, the treatment areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied, depending on your sensitivity. Doctor Cohen will inject the Restylane product into the targeted areas using a fine needle, then gently massage the treated areas to distribute the filler evenly. Any minor discomfort experienced during the injections is usually mild and temporary.

What Is the Recovery After Injections?

One of the benefits of Restylane injections is little or no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Common temporary side effects include mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Results are usually noticeable immediately after a treatment session, with the full effects appearing once the initial redness or swelling has subsided.
