What results are experienced after New Orleans patients have Restylane injections?

By

The signs of aging on the face cannot always be disguised with makeup. Many patients who are unhappy with their aging appearance may seek ways to address it, which often includes speaking with a dermatologist about being treated with dermal fillers and injectables. Instead of going through the experience of a surgical face lift – which can be expensive and carries many risks – many patients love the idea of a non-invasive way to bring back their youthful appearance. Dermal fillers such as Restylane can help.

Dr. Mary Lupo, of New Orleans, uses Restylane and many other injectables to turn back the hands of time. Restylane is popular for specific areas of the face including the nasolabial folds and any moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. In some patients, Restylane can also be used to add volume to the lips and improve irregularities on the nose.

Patients who receive Restylane injections will often notice results immediately after their appointment. Patients are seated comfortably in the treatment chair for their injections and the process is discussed before the injections are done. Topical anesthetics may be used for patient comfort. The entire process takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

After patients have had their injections, they are given aftercare instructions. Patients may speak to Dr. Mary Lupo about what to expect in the next few days following their treatment. Some patients may experience redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site, but this will subside and is often not a reason for concern. Patients who develop other concerns are encouraged to contact Dr. Mary Lupo to ask any questions they may have.
