It’s a cool morning in May and during some spring cleaning, you
happen to come across an old high school yearbook. You decide to
take a stroll down memory lane while you enjoy a hot cup of tea. You
find a picture of yourself from your grade eleven cheerleader days.
You sure were gorgeous back then! Your face was so full and radiant.
Your eyes sparkled with life – unlike the tired old eyes that peer
out from your now droopy eyelids. And there was your best friend
Sandy, looking not much different than she does now, thanks to
Restylane.
You happened to run into Sandy the other day and saw her new
makeover. She’d had a face-lift and looked almost 20 years younger
than she had just a few short weeks before. What was it that Sandy
had said she had done? Something about going to her dermatologist
and getting a procedure done with an injection called “Restylane”?
You wanted to remember every one of the facts that Sandy had told
you about the procedure. You could hardly wait to make a call to
your doctor to see if you could also have some of your youth back.
Sandy said that Restylane is an injection posing minimal risks
and boasting a very high patient satisfaction rate. Restylane is a
dermal filler that is used to fill in lines and wrinkles in the
face. It is also used for lip augmentation, wrinkles and facial
contouring. Most people refer to it as a “natural facelift” since it
does not require going under the knife for plastic surgery.
You also discovered that Restylane is a soft tissue filler and
has proven to be very successful for filling in soft tissue
indentations throughout the face, including areas such as frown
lines, laugh lines, cheeks, lips, and any other area where
augmentation of the soft tissues would be beneficial.
Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural
substance that already exists in your body. It’s the ability to bind
to the water in your body that helps provide longer lasting results.
And it’s totally natural! It simply boosts the amount of hyaluronic
acid in the skin.
Because it is natural, you look natural - unlike Botox or other
face-lift procedures. You can roll back the years and look beautiful
without the worry of side affects.
Using Restylane eliminates the need for more invasive or surgical
procedures and in many cases has the same result as a face-lift, but
without requiring surgery. There are few known side effects to using
Restylane. Some people experience some redness and slight swelling.
There can also be some discomfort during the injection, so most
doctors use a numbing cream or inject Lidocaine into the area before
injecting the Restylane.
Restylane treatment is usually about $700 per session, with most
doctors recommending you come back every 6 months for a repeat,
although lips may need a renewal every three months, and cheeks can
last as long as a year before needing a re-application.
Encouraged by your friend’s success, it’s not long before you
pick up the phone and book an appointment for your Restylane
consultation. Then, the next time you meet up for coffee with Sandy,
you too will have a “blast from the past” surprise of your own.
