You will also find detailed information about treatment with Restylane fillers in our FAQ section below.
How long do the effects of the treatment last?
As Restylane is a non-permanent injectable hyaluronic acid product, the effect gradually diminishes with time. In order to maintain the aesthetic result, additional treatments, or top-up treatments (see below), are recommended. Results may vary depending on the treatment area.
What is a top-up treatment?
Since Restylane filler treatments are long-lasting but not permanent, it is recommended to have top-up treatment for maintaining the results achieved in the initial treatment. Top-up treatments will most likely require lower volumes of hyaluronic acid, depending on the injection area and the time gaps between the treatments. A clinical study has showed that with just two maintenance (top-up) treatments, Restylane is proven to last up to 36 months.
What should I apply or avoid after the treatment?
• Avoid applying make-up to the skin immediately after treatment.
• Light cover up may be used to conceal any remaining redness after approximately 24 hours.
• A yellow-toned concealer may be used to hide signs of bruising.
• In order to cover up any redness, a concealer with a slight green/yellow tone is recommended.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common side effects include treatment site reactions such as swelling, bruising, redness, pain and tenderness. These side effects generally disappear within one week after injection. Other potential side effects can occur with dermal filler injections. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner.
