What is Restylane®?
Restylane is an effective dermal filler that can help revitalize younger-looking skin. This clear-gel formula consists mainly of hyaluronic acid to replenish lost facial volume as a result of aging. By restoring facial volume, the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds– lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth– can be improved for a youthful profile.
Is Restylane® safe?
Yes, Restylane is approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment to remedy facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
How long does the Restylane® treatment process take?
The Restylane treatment process is fast and simple. The duration of treatment with Restylan usually takes between 30-45 minutes. However, the definitive time your treatment may take depends on your aesthetic goals and the extent of the age lines being treated.
When can I see results from treatment with Restylane®?
Patients can expect to see immediate results of smoother-looking skin. These results may last as long as 6 months!
How many treatments with Restylane® will I need?
The exact amount of Restylane injections you may need to see results of smoother, youthful skin depends upon the extent of the age lines that are being treated as well as your aesthetic goals. Meet with Dr. Farris and his team to better determine how many Restylane treatments you may need!

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a Restylane treatment?
During a Restylane appointment, your provider will first assess your face and discuss your goals. The area is then cleansed, and the filler is injected into strategic areas to add volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial contours. The injector may gently massage the area to ensure even distribution.
What is the difference between Restylane and Juvederm?
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, but they differ in texture and formulation. Restylane tends to have a firmer, more granular consistency, making it excellent for precision and structure. Juvederm is typically smoother and more gel-like, offering a slightly softer feel. The choice between them depends on the treatment area, desired results, and your provider’s expertise.
Does the injection hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Restylane products contain lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that helps reduce pain. Additionally, providers often apply a topical anesthetic beforehand. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injection, but it is generally very well tolerated.
Can Restylane be used for lip augmentation?
Yes. Restylane products, especially Restylane Kysse and Restylane Silk, are specifically designed for lip enhancement. They add volume, improve shape, define borders, and smooth vertical lip lines while maintaining natural movement and softness.
Are Restylane results natural-looking?
Absolutely. When placed by a skilled injector, Restylane enhances your features without making you look overdone. Its hyaluronic acid formulation integrates smoothly into your tissue, providing subtle, natural-looking volume and contour.
Is there downtime after Restylane injections?
Downtime is minimal. Most people return to normal activities right away. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising resolves within a few days. Lips may appear slightly more swollen for 24-48 hours.
What should I avoid after treatment?
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid:
- Strenuous exercise
- Alcohol
- Excessive sun or heat exposure
- Saunas and hot tubs
- Pressure or massaging the treated area
These steps help reduce swelling and prevent filler movement.
Is Restylane reversible?
Yes. Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, which can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If needed, this treatment can quickly and safely reduce or remove the filler.
Can Restylane be combined with Botox?
Yes. Restylane and Botox are often used together to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Botox softens dynamic wrinkles caused by expression, while Restylane restores lost volume or enhances contour. Combining both can yield more balanced, longer-lasting results.
How can I prolong my results?
To extend your Restylane results:
- Follow all aftercare instructions
- Avoid smoking
- Limit excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen
- Maintain a healthy skincare routine
- Schedule touch-ups before the filler fully wears off
- Stay hydrated to support hyaluronic acid longevity
What areas does Restylane treat?
Different Restylane formulations are made to treat specific areas, including:
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Under-eye hollows
- Chin and jawline
- Temples
- Hands
- Fine lines around the mouth
Will Restylane make me look overfilled?
When performed by an experienced, qualified injector, Restylane should not make you look overfilled. The goal is to accentuate your natural features, not dramatically change them. Skilled providers use conservative amounts of filler, focus on balance and proportion, and layer product gradually to achieve subtle, natural-looking results.
