Understanding Restylane and Restylane Lyft

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that effectively addresses wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in various facial areas. Its versatility makes it suitable for enhancing the lips, cheeks, and under-eye area, as well as smoothing out nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Restylane Lyft, previously known as Perlane, offers a slightly denser formulation, making it ideal for correcting deeper wrinkles and restoring volume in the cheeks and midface area.

The Benefits of Restylane Treatments

Restylane treatments offer immediate results with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane attracts and retains moisture, providing lasting hydration and fullness to the treated areas. Patients can enjoy a more youthful and refreshed look, with results that can last up to a year or more, depending on the specific treatment area.

Treatment Areas

Dr. Hellman uses Restylane and Restylane Lyft to add volume and fullness to the skin. While they contain the same active ingredient, their unique formulation allows them to be used to treat different concerns. The table below shows the most common uses of the two products.

Restylane Restylane Lyft
  • Smooth out moderate nasolabial folds
  • Fill out lines around the eye (crow’s feet)
  • Add volume to lips and smooth out lines around the edges of the mouth
  • Correct smaller lines and wrinkles on the face
  • Add fullness and lift to the cheeks
  • Smooth out moderate to severe nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Correct deeper lines and creases to the face

Treatment and Results

Treatment with Restylane Lyft in NYC typically takes less than 30 minutes. First, Dr. Hellman will discuss your goals and assess your face to determine where the filler should be injected. Optional topical numbing cream can be used upon request. Dr. Hellman uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of the product in and around the targeted area. Afterward, she will provide you with an ice pack to apply to your face to minimize redness, swelling, and bruising.

After the treatment, you will be able to resume normal activities immediately, but you should avoid putting pressure on the treatment areas so the filler does not move around beneath the skin. You will see the results of your treatment immediately and the treated area will continue to improve as collagen production increases in the coming months. On average, results last 8 to 12 months. Most of our patients are so happy with their results that they come back for repeat treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I choose Restylane and Restylane Lyft over other fillers?

People often choose Restylane and Restylane Lyft for their proven track record of safety and effectiveness. These fillers offer a natural-looking enhancement due to their hyaluronic acid composition, which closely mimics the body’s own hyaluronic acid. It is particularly favored for delicate areas such as the lips and fine lines due to its smooth consistency, while Restylane Lyft is preferred for creating volume and lifting areas like the cheeks, thanks to its thicker formula.

Can the treatments be customized to my specific aesthetic goals?

Absolutely. One of the key advantages is the adaptability to meet individual aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Hellman will assess your facial structure, and skin condition, and discuss your desired outcomes. The treatment can be tailored in terms of the specific product used, the amount injected, and the injection sites to address concerns ranging from fine lines and wrinkles to loss of volume and facial contouring, ensuring results that enhance your natural beauty.

What makes Restylane and Restylane Lyft treatments stand out for anti-aging strategies?

The treatment not only reduces signs of aging by filling in wrinkles and restoring lost volume but also promotes natural collagen production in the treated areas. This dual action can improve skin texture and elasticity over time, offering benefits that extend beyond the immediate filling effect. Their ability to provide subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation without the need for downtime makes them an integral part of modern anti-aging strategies.

How soon can I see results and how can I ensure they last as long as possible?

Results are visible almost immediately after the procedure. You may notice a significant improvement in the treated areas as soon as any swelling subsides, which is typically within a few days.
