• Marionette lines (lines from the corner of the mouth extending to the chin)
• Laugh lines (extend from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth)
• Lipstick lines (fine vertical lines between the nose and upper lip)
• Nasojugal Folds (extend from the inner corner of the eyes to the nose)
• Lips

The ideal candidate for Restylane NYC is an individual with mild to moderate facial lines who would like to achieve a younger appearance. The procedure is not recommended for patients with a history of severe allergic reactions or those with a bleeding disorder. Patients with skin sores, pimples or rashes should allow the condition to clear before undergoing Restylane treatment.

Those who opt for Restylane lips New York may also receive a special formulation that contains lidocaine for a more comfortable procedure.

Injection points will be determined by the physician administering the treatment, as well as the amount of solution needed to produce desired results. Injections are placed just beneath the skin’s surface, using a very fine needle. The entire Restylane procedure may take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of injections required. Patients can return to normal activities almost immediately.

Cosmetic surgeons offer other options for facial rejuvenation besides Restylane. Juvederm is another dermal filler that uses a similar hyaluronic acid base to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the face. Results with Juvederm are similar to those of Restylane and last about as long.

There are also hyaluronic acid fillers that boast longer results than Restylane or Juvederm. Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus last a minimum of eight or nine months. Fat transfer, another anti-aging procedure that uses harvested fat from the patient’s own body, lasts three to four years before requiring touch-up treatments. However, short-term injections are often recommended for first-time patients of dermal fillers, because the solutions tend to be softer and results disappear quicker if the patient isn’t completely satisfied.
