Dermal fillers such as Restylane are commonly used worldwide to help improve the appearance of fine lines and to plump up areas that have lost volume over time. At the Glasgold Group of Princeton, NJ, Restylane fillers are a popular alternative to surgery for patients struggling with facial wrinkles and folds. Our experts will sit down with you and go over what your goals are and how to achieve them.
What Is Restylane?
Many facial wrinkles and folds are caused by age-related volume loss. Restylane is an injectable hyaluronic acid wrinkle filler that is used to smooth and plump up facial tissue for a more youthful appearance and enhanced contours. There are several different specialized Restylane products available to help patients reach their specific cosmetic goals.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally within the body. Its main purpose is to hydrate and add volume, making it the perfect solution for midface contour deficiencies and static wrinkles. The products in the Restylane family are designed to enhance and rejuvenate different areas of the face for up to 18 months at a time with little to no downtime and no surgery.
Restylane products are very safe for most people and only involve mild side effects like swelling, redness, and bruising, which disappear quickly. Rare side effects include infection and injection into a blood vessel, but these risks are extremely minimal for patients who visit our New Jersey practice serving Princeton, Robbinsville, and beyond.
