About Restylane Refyne
Restylane Refyne is primarily used to treat nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines or laugh lines. These lines extend from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth and can become more pronounced with age. Aging can cause skin thickness to decrease and fat deposits to shift which can fundamentally change the shape of the face. (1) Facial skin becomes weaker, collagen production decreases, and gravity pulls tissues down, resulting in deeper lines between the nose and mouth. Smile lines can also result from exposure to the sun and environmental pollution.
If you are looking for a natural solution to signs of facial aging, you will love Restylane Refyne. With the help of the latest in dermal filler science, this treatment smooths facial lines so you can get your youthful contour back.
How is Restylane Refyne So Effective?
Restylane Refyne consists of moisture-attracting and cushioning HA, helping your skin achieve a softer, more vibrant appearance. It is also formulated with XpresHAn TechnologyTM. This advanced HA crosslinking technique allows Restylane Refyne to be a smooth, highly flexible, and soft gel that responds to facial expressions, for a natural-looking appearance.
Benefits of Restylane Refyne
With Restylane Refyne, you will see a noticeable reduction in facial lines for a rejuvenated, youthful look. The benefits of Restylane Refyne injections include the following:
- Smoother, more youthful-looking skin: The hyaluronic acid gel fills in and smoothes out wrinkles and folds, resulting in a more even and youthful complexion.
- Natural-looking results: Restylane Refyne provides subtle enhancements that maintain your facial expressions while minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
- Long-lasting effects: The results of Restylane Refyne can last up to 12 months, allowing patients to enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for an extended period.
- Minimally invasive: Restylane Refyne is a non-surgical treatment that requires minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- FDA-approved: Restylane Refyne has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, providing patients with confidence in its safety and efficacy.
Candidates for Restylane Refyne
If you are 21 years or older and need a soft tissue filler to enhance your natural facial contour, Restylane Refyne is an effective, low-maintenance solution.
Although the Restylane family of HA fillers is suitable for most people, there are some limitations. If you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive proteins, Restylane Refyne may not be suitable. Similarly, patients with bleeding disorders may not be the best candidates. If you are currently experiencing breakouts, sores, or rashes in the area where you wish to receive treatment, our team may recommend postponing your treatment until your skin recovers fully.
For patients who are experiencing severe facial wrinkles, Dr. Gorin will need to determine whether or not a more comprehensive treatment is required. Some severe types of folds, wrinkles, and volume loss may require alternative treatments. (2)
Personal Consultation
During your consultation, our team will discuss your medical history, expectations, and the results you wish to achieve with Restylane Refyne. We will also discuss the possibility of combining treatments and after-care precautions. We will also examine the area(s) you wish to enhance with Restylane Refyne. This evaluation will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure and allows us to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to reach your beauty goals.
Preparation, Procedure, & Recovery
To prepare for Restylane injections, patients should:
- Avoid blood thinners, supplements, and certain medications as instructed before the procedure.
- Cease nicotine use in the weeks leading up to the treatment and throughout the recovery period.
Before the injection portion of treatment, we will thoroughly cleanse your skin. After this, we will use a small needle to inject Restylane Refyne beneath the skin in targeted areas of the face. The procedure takes an hour or less, depending on the number of areas you would like to treat.
After your injection, you can enjoy younger-looking skin without having to worry about smile lines. Recovery is minimal for Restylane Refyne, and you can return home immediately. (3) Some patients may experience discomfort, headaches, or swelling around the injection site, which will subside over time.
