Restylane® in Atlanta, GA

Restylane is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal clear gel. It can be injected into the skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in the skin, Restylane works together with the body’s own hyaluronic acid and joins forces to create volume. Dr. Connors is an injectable filler expert and offers Restylane for patients who desire a hyaluronic acid filler product. It is an excellent way to help smooth out and fill in wrinkles in the face, perform non-surgical rhinoplasty, reduce the depth of nasolabial fold, fill in depressed acne scars and plump, as well as define the edges of the lips

During your appointment, the areas of the injection sites will be marked and thoroughly cleaned prior to the treatment. With the comfort of local anesthesia, the Restylane filler will be injected into the skin using a fine needle where added volume is desired. After each injection, light pressure and a cooling ointment are applied. Other than feeling a tingling sensation and some visible redness in the areas of the injections, there are usually no other side effects. Most patients are able to return to work with no downtime after their 15-30 minute Restylane procedure.

While Restylane offers great benefits for patients seeking skin rejuvenation, there are other injectable fillers that may be considered as well. Some of these are comprised of materials such as collagen, polylactic acid, and calcium hydroxyapatite.
