Aging is inevitable. As you grow older, the gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid leads to fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, sunken cheeks, and thin lips. Restylane and other dermal fillers allow us to reverse the signs of aging and restore your youth.
Replenish your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring sugar that binds 1,000x its weight in water and makes your skin look soft, supple, and voluminous. When you’re young, your body produces a high volume of hyaluronic acid, which contributes to your soft and youthful features. But your body’s ability to produce and maintain hyaluronic acid is compromised with age, leading to facial hollows and wrinkles. Restylane allows us to replenish your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves, thus reversing the signs of aging.
Restylane corrects the following:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds around the nose
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Lost midface volume
- Sunken/hollow cheeks
- Thin or dry lips

Your Restylane consultation with Dr. Hicks
Dr. Hicks performs a thorough evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate for Restylane. She reviews your medical history, examines your facial features, identifies the signs of aging, and discusses your concerns and goals.

Furthermore, she personalizes the dose to ensure soft and natural-looking results.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is a collection of dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring gelatinous substance that adds volume to your skin. Restylane fillers are made of synthetic HA molecules that resemble the natural hyaluronic acid in human skin.
When injected into targeted facial tissues, Restylane fillers instantly add volume under your skin to fill out fine lines and wrinkles, restore facial volume and elevate facial contours. We can use Restylane to reduce your wrinkles and make your features look more sculpted.
How is Restylane performed?
During your Restylane treatment, the medical provider cleanses your facial skin and applies a numbing gel to ensure comfort. The medical provider carefully injects the appropriate units of the chosen Restylane fillers into the targeted locations on your face, such as the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, lips, or hands. The number of injections depends on your specific goals, but the entire treatment concludes within 30 minutes.
What can I expect after Restylane?
You can expect mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising after your Restylane treatment. The side effects dissipate within a few days. You may resume your daily activities and work immediately, but please avoid strenuous workouts for a day.
Benefits of Restylane:
- Reverse the signs of aging
- Restore your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves
- Improve overall facial contours
- No incisions or scars
- Painless treatment
- No harsh side effects
- No post-treatment downtime
- Instant results
- Completely natural results
When will I see the Restylane results?
The Restylane results are immediately visible after the treatment. But you will truly appreciate the anti-aging and facial contouring results once the side effects and swelling dissipate.
How long do Restylane results last?
The Restylane results usually last for 6 to 18 months. The specific longevity of the treatment depends on the fillers used, the treatment areas, and your specific goals.
