Restylane is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body. It is used to restore volume, soften lines and folds, and enhance facial features that have changed due to aging, collagen loss, or natural anatomy.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, Restylane treatments are provided by Shanni Sutton, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with extensive aesthetic training and a careful approach to facial balancing. Patients in Lone Tree and Denver, CO, can receive personalized dermal filler care designed to look refined, proportional, and natural.
What Is Restylane?
Restylane injectable gel is a cosmetic filler that contains hyaluronic acid, often called HA. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, natural HA levels decrease. This can contribute to loose skin, wrinkling, facial folds, and changes in contour.
When injected, Restylane is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable. Because it uses hyaluronic acid, Restylane eventually breaks down and is reabsorbed by the body over time.
The most common areas for Restylane treatment include nasolabial folds, which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, as well as other facial lines or areas of volume loss. Restylane is also FDA-approved for lip enhancement in adults 21 and older.
How Restylane Can Enhance Facial Features
Restylane works by adding volume beneath the skin rather than relaxing muscle movement. This makes it useful for wrinkles, folds, and contour concerns related to volume loss or a desire for subtle enhancement.
When used for facial lines and folds, Restylane can help create smoother-looking skin and a more refreshed appearance. When used for lip enhancement, it can help make the lips look fuller, improve definition, and support more balanced proportions.
Restylane may be recommended for patients who want to improve:
- Nasolabial folds
- Facial lines and wrinkles
- Mild to moderate volume loss
- Lip fullness
- Lip border definition
- Facial balance and contour
A consultation helps determine where Restylane may be appropriate and whether it should be used alone or as part of a broader injectable treatment plan.
The Benefits Of Restylane Injectable Gel
When injected with skill and precision, Restylane can plump areas beneath facial lines and folds, helping the skin appear smoother and more youthful. It may also provide subtle volume restoration in areas where natural fullness has decreased.
For lip enhancement, Restylane can make the lips look fuller and more defined. The goal is not to create an exaggerated appearance, but to enhance the lips in a way that fits the patient’s facial features.
Results can last up to six months, although longevity varies based on the treatment area, product selection, metabolism, and patient goals. Because hyaluronic acid filler is temporary, maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve results.
Advantages Of Restylane Treatment
One advantage of Restylane injectable gel is that it contains nothing of animal origin. As a result, allergy testing is typically not required before treatment, which can make the process more convenient for appropriate candidates.
Another advantage is that Restylane injections are performed in the office and usually take less than half an hour. Most patients require little to no downtime and can return to normal routines soon after treatment, depending on their provider’s aftercare instructions.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, Shanni takes time to assess facial anatomy, symmetry, skin quality, and goals before treatment. This helps ensure the filler plan is customized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all approach.
