Restylane, Hylaform, and Collagen Injections: A Non-Surgical, Proven Method to Looking Younger Fast!
If you'd like to look more youthful and you don't want surgery, filler injections such as Restylane, Hylaform, and/or Collagen might be just right for you! Collagen is a protein that provides your skin with structural support. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in all living cells and attracts and binds water, hydrating your skin and giving it volume. With age, our bodies' natural collagen and hyaluronic acid diminish, leading eventually to sagging skin and thinning lips. To replace this loss, millions of patients have successfully received small injections of purified sugar and protein compounds contained in Restylane, Hylaform, and Collagen. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved treatment with these products to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
How Long Will it Last?
Like your own collagen and hyaluronic acid, your body slowly absorbs these products and ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain results. People absorb fillers at varying rates, but results may last three to twelve months, depending upon the filler used.
What Happens in the Procedure?
This procedure is done in our office and generally takes less than an hour. A local anesthetic may be given. Then, using a tiny needle, filler will be meticulously injected in small amounts in those spots where you need to decrease folds, soften lines, increase volume, or reduce the appearance of small scars.
How Long Will it Take to Heal?
While healing time varies depending on how many areas are treated, 90% of people return to normal activities immediately. The treatment site may have a little swelling, which can last from a few hours to three days. If there is some initial bruising, it can be covered with makeup.
Which Filler is Right for Me?
Not all fillers are created equal, and some are used in combination to achieve each patient's desired results. Our practitioners will determine in free consultation which would be best for you.
What if I Stop Treatments?
If you discontinue treatments, the filler is simply reabsorbed and your face gradually returns to its natural contours.
Why Do I Want a Reversible Method When Longer-Lasting Products Are Available?
There are actually two good reasons: many people wish to test and determine the "look" they desire prior to making a decision about longer-lasting products. Also, since some implants and other permanent products can't be removed without undergoing additional surgical procedures, it is recommended to use a semi-permanent and long-lasting product such as Restylane, Hylaform, and/or Collagen. Restylane, Hylaform, and Collagen injections provide a way to get the look you desire without the risk, expense, or recovery time of plastic surgery.
