Dermal fillers are compounds injected under the skin to fill out
wrinkles and skin folds, and add fullness to the face and lips. Dramatic
results are immediate!
Restylane is a unique injectable filler. The formulation
contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in your body’s
connective tissues. However, the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is not
derived from animal sources, so there is little chance of allergic
reaction.
Are you considering Restylane treatments in East Bay for
improvement in the appearance of mild to moderate, even deep facial
folds and creases? For results that last up to 18 months? Call The
Skin and Laser Treatment Institute in Walnut Creek for a consultation
with Dr. M. Christine Lee.
During your consultation, Dr. Lee will explain that, as with
any medical treatment, there are potential complications. These are
rare, mild, and temporary, but contact Dr. Lee if they last more than 24
hours:
- Minor itching or burning sensation.
- Swelling or fullness in the area of treatment.
- Slight bruising or discoloration at the injection site.
- Small bumps under the skin.
- Drooping near the mouth.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding, allergic to
anesthesia, have a blood disorder, or taking radiation or chemotherapy
treatments, you may not be a good candidate for Restylane now. You may
need to wait until a skin condition such as cold sores, rash, or acne,
has cleared up before starting Restylane.
You can prepare for a comfortable Restylane experience by
avoiding aspirin, vitamin E supplements, and anti-inflammatory
medications for 24 hours before your treatment (they can cause bruising
or bleeding). Use anti-viral cream around your mouth if you will have
injections there (to prevent cold sores). Request topical anesthetic if
your skin is very sensitive.
You can resume normal activity after treatment, but plan to
take it a bit easy and keep your face relaxed overnight. Cool compresses
will soothe temporary post-injection irritation.
