Restylane is an injectable cosmetic filler that is often used for patients who desire younger and healthier looking skin. Restylane in Chicago is non invasive, it is commonly used to reduce wrinkles, augment the lips, facial contouring and smoothing the skin under the eyes and nose. The actual material that Restylane is made of is hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is certainly not harmful, it naturally occurs in the body, this fact makes Restylane a very attractive option for those who want younger looking skin but wish to avoid synthetics and the possibility of unwanted side effects. The patient who is concerned about injecting something into their skin that came from another human or an animal need not worry, the hyaluronic acid that is used is not derived from any animal or human source, as a result there is far less potential of an allergic reaction.
Restylane in Chicago is a facial treatment that is performed by a plastic surgeon. The material is a clear gel; it is injected directly into the skin using a microscopically thin needle. The moment the treatment is finished, the patient can see the results. A very small amount of gel is all that is required each time the patient is treated, the injections cause only the slightest discomfort although if the patient has a low pain threshold the doctor can apply anesthesia in the area prior to the injections.
Restylane treatments result in softer, suppler, younger looking skin; a treatment will last at least six months, may patients report that the results lasted longer than this. It is really impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy how long the results will last as the effect is dependent on when the gel actually dissipates. Most cosmetic surgeons suggest to their patients that they arrange for treatments twice a year although there are some doctors that are of the opinion that touch-ups before the effect has totally worn off can help extend the results.
Although there is no specific preparation that the patient has to make it is recommended that aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen be avoided prior to the treatment. By avoiding these drugs the possibility of bruising and bleeding is greatly reduced. There are few side effects to Restylane, if anything the area may appear slightly red for a brief period of time. Restylane in Chicago is FDA approved, doctors who use Restylane with their patient’s report that the effects last almost twice as long as collagen treatments.
Restylane in Chicago is recommended to those who wish softer, smoother, younger looking skin. This non-surgical treatment is available from The Michael Horn Center for Cosmetic Surgery.
