If you are like most people, you would like to have a dermal filler available that is FDA approved and will offer the best results. While it is always important to go to a qualified doctor for treatment, you may find that some fillers are better than others, depending on where you need them to be injected. Therefore, you may want to consider Restylane Silk in Chicago.
What It Is
It is still a dermal filler that is used to restore fullness and volume to your lips and can also help with fine lines and wrinkles. It uses non-animal hyaluronic acid, but it also contains a small amount of lidocaine, which helps to eliminate discomfort when having the procedure. While your body already has hyaluronic acid in it, it will evaporate over the years until you don’t have as much, which causes the sagging skin and wrinkles.
How It’s Different
While both the traditional version and Restylane Silk will both produce the same results for your lips and wrinkles, the new version includes lidocaine. It is a tiny amount, about 0.3 percent, which is a local anesthetic. It can sometimes be painful or uncomfortable to have a needle stuck into your face and may hurt when the fluid is injected and starts plumping up the skin, so the lidocaine is available to help numb the area and cause less pain.
How It Works
In essence, the hyaluronic acid is used to help you maintain elasticity and smoothness, especially when you are running low of the HA in your body. The filler is injected directly into the area that needs smoothing out, or into the lips to get them full again.
Length Of Time
Most people worry about how long the procedure will take and whether or not they will experience downtime, but they may also worry about when they’ll see results. With this filler, you will see immediate results. The procedure itself only takes about five minutes to half an hour, depending on the amount of injections you need. Plus, there is very little downtime and in most cases, only redness or swelling occur, meaning you could go back to work that same day.
Side Effects And Other Need-to-Know
Typically, the results will last about six months to one year, depending on your body. While it is a safe procedure, a few side effects can occur, such as redness and swelling.
