What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are used to help diminish any of the facial lines you have while restoring fullness and volume in your face. As we grow older, we usually lose a lot of different things in our face that can directly cause smile lines and crow’s feet.
Our facial skin also stretches downward and can add to the loss of facial volume. Dermal filler could be what you need!

What You Can Expect from the Restylane Procedure
This procedure is very common, so you don’t have much to worry about. It is very straightforward which means that you can often go to work straight after the procedure. However, if you have had multiple injections, you are better off taking a few days off.

- Infection
- Allergic reactions
- Irregularities in the skin filling
- Itching at the injection site
- Pain at the injection site or near it
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tension

If you are currently taking any blood-thinning medications, you will not be recommended Restylane treatment as it can be detrimental to your health.
You should speak to your doctor to see if you may be the right candidate for this type of treatment.
So, What Can I Expect After My Restylane Procedure?
After your Restylane treatment, you will begin to heal. However, the time it takes to heal will vary from one person to the next. Your provider should be able to give you a rough estimate on the healing time. It will often depend on how many injections you received during treatment and where exactly they were situated.
You should expect some redness, swelling, and bruising after you have received your treatment. Usually, this is gone in around 1-2 weeks or so. During the time after your treatment, you should avoid the sun as much as possible because it may cause even more swelling and bruising.
You will usually begin to see the effects of your treatment in roughly one week following your procedure. It is also good to know that filler is not permanent. You will have to undergo more rounds to ensure that the look lasts.

- St John’s Wort
