Introduction
As skin ages, it loses some of its collagen and fat and so the skin
becomes wrinkled and lined. Dermal fillers, such as Restylane,
are injected into the skin in areas which need to be plumped up and
made firmer. Restylane is also used as a lip enhancement to shape
lips. Which areas can be treated?
The most common use for dermal fillers is to increase the size and
volume of lips. Other uses are: the glabellar lines between
the eyebrows; the nasolabial lines running from the root of the nose to
the edge of the mouth; lines around the lips and filling out deep acne
scars. How is the treatment carried out? A
full and detailed consultation will be undertaken and the treatment
will be discussed to ensure that expectations and results are in line
with each other. Unlike some dermal fillers, Restylane is not
derived from animals and so a test patch is not required.
Therefore treatment can start immediately.
The area will be wiped with an antiseptic and, if required, an
anaesthetic cream can be applied. For lip injections, a local
anaesthetic injection may be given. The course of injections will
last between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. How long does it last? Restylane
is a temporary dermal filler and follow up sessions are usually needed
every 6 to 12 months. As the treatment is temporary, the patient
is always in control - and can change, augment or modify the treatment
at any time. Are there any side effects? Since
its introduction in 1996, over 3.5 million Restylane injections have
been performed and serious side effects have been extremely rare.
In the short term, there may be slight bleeding, swelling or redness as
a result of the injections, although most people are able to go
straight back to work after their treatment.
Other types of reactions are very rare, but about 1 in 2,000 treated
patients have experienced localized reactions thought to be of a
hypersensitivity nature. These have usually consisted of swelling at
the implant site, sometimes affecting the surrounding tissues. Redness,
tenderness and, very rarely, acne-like formations have also been
reported. These reactions have either started a few days after
injection or after a delay of two to four weeks, and have generally
been described as mild to moderate and self-limiting with an average
duration of two weeks. The treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. |
