About Restylane Injections
Our plastic surgeons in Colorado Springs, CO offer a wide range of dermal filler products to help correct signs of facial aging, like lost volume, wrinkles, and lines. It is a popular brand of injectable wrinkle fillers since it treats several issues with specialized formulas for long-lasting results. Restylane uses a synthetic version of the body's natural HA (hyaluronic acid), providing the complexion a softer, natural appearance that is fuller and more supple. A custom dermal filler plan can treat mild, moderate, or severe facial wrinkles and lines, and also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. The Institute of Plastic Surgery carries a selection of Restylane products, including:
- Restylane: Addresses facial folds and wrinkles
- Restylane Defyne: Fills in deep laugh lines and smile wrinkles
- Restylane Lyft: Creates lift and volume in the mid-face
- Restylane Refyne: Corrects moderate laugh lines and smile wrinkles
- Restylane Silk: Adds fullness to the lips and fills in vertical lines on the lips
- Restylane Kysse: Enhance the texture and color of the lips while maintaining a full range of expressions
Ideal Candidates
Restylane treatments are suitable for any patient older than 21 years of age who wants to improve their overall appearance. Since it has so many formulas, your treatment will be customized to fit your concerns and goals. Restylane may help you treat early signs of aging, such as fine lines throughout the face, or if you would like to boost the fullness in your cheeks and lips. It may also improve moderate to severe wrinkles, like frown lines, laugh lines, Crow's feet, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and more. Some treatments contain lidocaine, so you need to share any allergies at your pre-treatment consultation to prevent a negative reaction.

Procedure Technique
Restylane injections are performed in the minor procedures room at our practice. While many Restylane treatments already contain the local anesthetic lidocaine, a numbing cream may be put on the treatment areas for greater comfort if requested. The product is injected in your skin with a fine needle and massaged so it reaches the selected areas. Several injections may be performed followed by a cold compress to help control inflammation. Every Restylane product is injected the same way but with different areas treated according to your unique concerns and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect
Once your Restylane injections are complete, you may resume work. Your recovery will vary based on what you are having treated, so ask your injector about what you should expect. The treated areas may be slightly swollen and red, but this usually goes away in a few hours. Bruising may be a factor, but this may be camouflaged with cosmetics. It's suggested that you avoid exercise for 24 hours, and you should sleep with the head propped up for the first night. Many patients will notice visible changes right after treatment, but it may take 1 – 2 weeks until the final results develop. Restylane injections often last up to one year based on the formula selected.
