Restylane treatment provides a temporary reprieve from the common signs of aging, facial sagging, and wrinkles – helping to add volume and definition back into your facial features for a youthful and fresh appearance.
Restylane is one of the most diverse non-surgical cosmetic facial treatments available. A Restylane injection treatment can help to make your face feel and look smoother, remove lines and wrinkles, and enhance the appearance of your lips. Specially designed for lifting and shaping the face, the effects of Restylane are long-lasting and very natural in appearance.
A Restylane cosmetic treatment in Chicago comprises of an injection of clear hyaluronic acid into different facial areas, targeting the most common signs and symptoms of aging to create a natural healthy look to the skin. Not only does this disguise the common facial lines and sagging that accompanies aging, but it also helps to slow down aging and the deepening of lines going forwards.
Restylane is one of the most effective dermal fillers within the main family of cosmetic treatment fillers, able to revitalize the face, make it look younger and show more volume. Restylane treatment is quick, relatively pain free, and highly effective, when performed by a professionally trained physician.
The hyaluronic acid composition of Restylane treatment is an initial worry for many people before they get a chance to understand the acid a little more – which is certainly not as harmful as it may initially sound.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body, such as around the connective tissue and joints; it helps the body to retain water and carry nutrients. One of the main reasons why the skin ages is due to the lowered production of hyaluronic acid that occurs as we get older; this causes wrinkles to appear on the skin and the skin to sag. Similarly, the production of collagen and elastin also slowly declines as we age, with the lowered levels further contributing to the aging of the skin.
The unique properties of hyaluronic acid mean that it can pull in and retain significant amounts of water; from the environment, body, and external products applied to the skin. When hyaluronic acid is reintroduced into the body through Restylane treatment, it can help to temporarily reduce the signs of aging in many different areas of the face. It provides increased volume, plumps up the skin, and can alter the contours on the face to create a youthful and fresh look.
The main Restylane product is capable of a diverse range of cosmetic facial treatments, designed to temporarily reduce the signs of aging and help to shape the face to give it a fresh and smooth appearance. The standard Restylane treatment can help to restore the youthful appearance to multiple parts of your face, helping to alleviate the appearance of small and large wrinkles, fine lines, and contour deficiencies.
As well as the main Restylane product, there are also many different varieties of Restylane treatment, designed to target different areas of the face. These are specially formulated to work more effectively with the different signs of aging; some are designed to work best with small wrinkles, while others work best with contouring. The main types of Restylane treatment, include:
Restylane Defyne – This Restylane treatment is specially formulated to help with the reduction of laugh lines, also referred to as marionette lines and nasolabial folds.
Restylane Lyft – Using this Restylane treatment can help to combat sagging skin and wrinkles, bringing volume back to the cheeks and correcting contour deficiencies.
Restylane Refyne – To support the skin, remove the signs of the skins’ lost elasticity, and the formation of lines that go from the mouth to the chin, Restylane Refyne treatment is commonly used.
Restylane Silk – The Restylane Silk treatment is designed and formulated specifically to aid with lip augmentation, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines around the mouth.
When you meet with your physician for your initial consultation, you can discuss which treatment will be best to specifically target the areas of your face where you want the signs of aging to be reduced. Your Oakbrook physician will then suggest a product that they believe will deliver the best results.
For most people, Restylane treatment in Illinois is an incredibly safe option, with the treatment and recovery not being too painful. However, there are a few reasons why Restylane may not be the right kind of cosmetic dermal filler for you, such as if you have a bacterial protein allergy, have hyperpigmentation, or a connective tissue disorder. Before undergoing any cosmetic dermal filler treatment, it’s always highly advised to speak to a physician and disclose any information which could lead you to experience adverse effects after treatment.
The decision to undergo cosmetic treatment, is something that nobody can make for you. The benefit of Restylane treatment in Chicago is that it’s designed for anyone who wants to experience a temporary improvement to the smoothness, youthfulness, and freshness of their skin; so, if the results aren’t to your liking, then you never have to worry about them being irreversible as the hyaluronic acid is absorbed over time. If you have lost volume in your face, have wrinkles or lines on your face, or your skin has started to sag, then Restylane treatment in Oakbrook, Illinois can provide a long-lasting but temporary solution very quickly.
Restylane treatment is very straightforward, quick, and normally not very painful. Once your physician has ensured that Restylane treatment will be a safe and effective option for you, then the process can take up to around half an hour. The timeframe for the procedure can vary on a patient to patient basis, with some procedures taking longer depending on the needs of the patient.
The Restylane treatment will normally start with the use of an anesthetic or numbing cream to reduce the minor discomfort felt during the injection procedure. Then, the procedure is just a case of injecting the Restylane into the right areas of your face, which is very quick and straightforward.
As soon as the Restylane is injected, you should be able to start seeing the results; unlike some of the alternative treatments where the results can take weeks, or sometimes even months to become apparent. The hyaluronic acid in the Restylane starts to work in a similar way as it would naturally; pulling in water and adding volume to you face as the tissue in the targeted area begins to swell.
Sometimes the desired finish can be achieved on the first visit to your physician in Illinois, while other times it may take an additional visit to fully achieve the younger and fresher look that you desire. This can depend on the amount of contouring that you want doing and how many areas of the face that you want to target.
Most people find that they feel absolutely fine after Restylane treatment and can return to work or continue on with their normal routine – commonly referring to Restylane as a lunch-break treatment. However, not every patient is the same and the recovery can be very different for some people. It’s normally advised to use an ice pack on the area regularly in the days following the treatment to reduce the chance of bruising or swelling from occurring, or lowering the bruising and swelling severity if they cannot be fully prevented.
It is also highly advised to avoid the use of certain medications, like ibuprofen, and avoid any alcoholic drinks in the days following the treatment. Other aftercare advice you physician may suggest after treatment, includes:

The exact time that Restylane treatment will last can vary, depending on the patient and how much Restylane was initially used during the treatment. Over time, the Restylane will be slowly absorbed by the body, with the results beginning to lessen and eventually fade completely. This process normally takes up to 6 months, with certain treatments taking less time, and others prolonging the results for up to a year. Undergoing Restylane treatment on a regular basis (after getting advice from your physician), can stop the Restylane results from fading.
