Restylane
What is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and add volume. As we age, the skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid decline, leading to wrinkles, folds, and loss of volume. Restylane® works by replenishing this lost hyaluronic acid, delivering natural-looking results that can help turn back the clock on aging.

Benefits of Restylane®:
- Instant, Natural Results: Restylane® provides immediate smoothing and volumizing effects, leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Depending on the treatment area, Restylane® results can last up to 6–18 months.
- Versatile: The Restylane® family of fillers is designed to address a variety of aesthetic concerns, from wrinkles and fine lines to volume loss and facial contouring.
- Minimal Downtime: Treatment is quick and non-invasive, with little to no recovery time required.
- Hydration and Volume: Hyaluronic acid attracts water, helping your skin stay hydrated and giving it a plump, youthful appearance.

What to Expect During Your Restylane® Treatment
Your Restylane® treatment at Swan Dermatology typically takes about 30–45 minutes. Our expert dermatologists will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort before administering the filler with fine needles into the targeted areas. You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but these side effects usually subside within a few days, allowing you to see full results soon after treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from Restylane® treatments are immediate, with the full effects becoming visible as any post-treatment swelling subsides. The longevity of your results depends on the specific Restylane® product used and the treatment area, but most patients enjoy their refreshed look for 6 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments are recommended to keep your results long-lasting and natural.
