Achieve Natural-Looking Volume with Restylane

Restylane is an FDA-approved collection of dermal fillers that utilizes hyaluronic acid to address lost facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial structure. This versatile treatment can be used in various areas, including the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds (smile lines). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and elasticity, resulting in a plump and hydrated look. As we age, we produce less hyaluronic acid; Restylane helps restore that missing element for natural-looking volume.

Evaluation and Treatment

Before your Restylane treatment in Long Island, Dr. Sean Alemi, MD, FACS, will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your facial structure to determine the most effective treatment. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. A fine needle or cannula can be used to inject the filler into designated areas. Restylane products contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to make the procedure comfortable. Most patients experience only mild pressure or discomfort during the injections.

The Restylane Family of HA Fillers for Facial Enhancement

  • Restylane: A versatile filler used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (smile lines). It can also be used for lip enhancement, adding volume and definition to the lips.
  • Restylane Lyft: Designed to restore volume in the cheeks and hands, Lyft provides a natural lift to areas that have lost fullness due to aging. It’s also effective for treating deeper facial wrinkles and folds.
  • Restylane Refyne: Ideal for softening moderate smile lines and marionette lines while allowing natural facial expressions. It’s designed with XpresHAn Technology™ to maintain flexibility and create smooth, refined results.
  • Restylane Defyne: This thicker formula treats deeper lines, such as pronounced nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Like Refyne, it uses XpresHAn Technology™ to maintain natural facial movements, even with more dramatic correction.
  • Restylane Kysse: Specifically created for lip enhancement, this filler adds volume and softens fine lines around the lips while enhancing lip color and texture. It’s known for its ability to provide natural movement and long-lasting results.
  • Restylane Contour: A newer filler in the Restylane family, this product was formulated for cheek and midface augmentation, providing a natural lift and subtle contouring. It’s ideal for restoring youthful volume while maintaining flexibility in facial expressions.
