Restylane® in Ashburn, VA

ABOUT RESTYLANE

Ashburn, VA board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Brown provides a wide range of dermal filler treatments to help correct aging in the face, addressing lost volume, wrinkles, and lines. Restylane is a popular brand of dermal filler injections since it treats multiple issues with specialized formulas for results that are long-lasting. It uses a synthetic version of the body’s natural HA (hyaluronic acid), providing the complexion a softer, natural appearance that is fuller and more supple. A unique dermal filler plan can address mild, moderate, or severe facial wrinkles and lines, and also add fullness to the lips and mid-face. The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery carries several Restylane dermal fillers, including:

  • Restylane: Fills in facial folds and wrinkles
  • Restylane Defyne: Corrects moderate to deep laugh and smile wrinkles
  • Restylane Lyft: Creates lift and volume in the mid-face
  • Restylane Refyne: Fills in fine to moderate laugh and smile wrinkles
  • Restylane Silk: Builds fullness in the lips and smoothes vertical lines on the lips

 

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Restylane injectable treatments are suitable for any woman or man older than 21 years old who is looking to rejuvenate their overall appearance. Since it has different formulas, your procedure will be individualized to suit your concerns and goals. Restylane may help you correct visible signs of age, such as fine lines on your face, or improve the fullness in your cheeks and lips. It may also improve moderate or severe wrinkles, like frown lines, laugh lines, Crow’s feet, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and more. Several treatments are mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so you need to share any allergies at your pre-treatment consultation with Dr. Brown to prevent a negative reaction.

The office is modern, clean and calm, and the staff are reassuring and friendly. Dr. Brown is very skilled and professional.

Surgical Experience

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

Restylane dermal injections are performed in the treatment room at The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery. A numbing cream may be put on the treatment areas for greater comfort if preferred. The treatment is injected in your skin with a very fine needle and gently massaged so it reaches the selected areas. Several injections may be performed followed by a cold compress to decrease inflammation. Every Restylane formula is injected with a similar technique but on different areas treated to fit your unique concerns and goals.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Once your Restylane procedure is complete, you may resume your normal daily activities. Your recovery timeframe will vary based on what you are having treated so ask your injector about what you should expect. The treated areas may be slightly swollen and red, but this often fades away after several hours. Bruising may appear, but this may be camouflaged with cosmetics. It is suggested that you avoid strenuous activities, like exercise, for 1 – 2 days, and you should sleep with your head propped up for at least the first night. Many patients will experience visible changes right after the injections, but it often takes 1 – 2 weeks until the final results develop. Restylane injection treatments generally last about one year based on the formula selected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does Restylane cost?

Costs for Restylane treatments will be based on several things, like which product is selected, where it is used, the amount of filler used, and more. In your initial consultation, your injector will need to understand your areas of concerns before creating a custom injection plan. After this, costs can be estimated and we can review payment options.

What is Restylane most commonly used for?

The Restylane family of dermal fillers are each formulated to help you appear renewed but natural. In your initial consultation, your injector will talk about the various formulas of Restylane and decide which fits your needs. Restylane Refyne, Defyne, and Lyft improve mild, moderate, or deep lines, wrinkles, and folds. Restylane Lyft and Silk increase volume in your hands, lips, and cheeks.

How often do I need to come back for a touch-up?

Usually, Restylane results last from 6 – 18 months. Your results will vary based on which formula is selected, the injection sites, and other factors. In your initial consultation, your injector will create your Restylane treatment plan, including when to schedule your next appointment to refresh your appearance.

Do Restylane injections hurt?

There may be some discomfort as the fine needle is injected under your skin. Before your injection, a local anesthetic can be applied to help you feel more comfortable. Following your injections, we will apply a cold compress to minimize bruising and swelling.
