What is Restylane?

Many women and men turn to dermal fillers to enhance their natural features and address signs of aging. At Hermosa Plastic Surgery in Albuquerque, NM, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos offers a variety of dermal filler injections, including the popular Restylane family. Restylane is well-known for its range of specialized formulas designed to treat wrinkles, lines, and volume loss with natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Restylane uses a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps provide skin with softness, fullness, and suppleness. A customized treatment plan with Restylane can target mild, moderate, or severe facial wrinkles and lines, restore volume to cheeks and lips, and help achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

As skin ages, it can lose its youthful fullness and texture. Restylane dermal fillers offer several benefits, including:

  • Use of natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which the body naturally produces
  • Smoother, restored skin texture and appearance
  • Versatile treatment areas including the face, hands, and décolletage
  • Enhanced self-confidence with a refreshed look

Am I a Candidate for Restylane?

Restylane treatments are suitable for adults aged 21 and older who want to rejuvenate their appearance. Because different Restylane formulas are designed for specific concerns, your treatment will be tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Restylane can address early signs of aging such as fine lines or add volume to cheeks and lips. It is also effective for more pronounced wrinkles, including frown lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.

Some Restylane products contain the anesthetic lidocaine, so it is important to disclose any allergies or sensitivities during your consultation with Dr. Gallegos to ensure safe treatment.
