What Are Restylane Fillers?
Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers designed to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts and holds water, keeping skin hydrated and plump.
Different Restylane formulations are tailored for different areas and concerns, including:
Restylane-L: Great for under-eye hollows and fine lines
Restylane Kysse: Designed for soft, natural-looking lip augmentation
Restylane Lyft: Adds structure to cheeks and midface volume
Restylane Contour and Refyne: Smooth folds and marionette lines while maintaining flexibility
These fillers integrate seamlessly into the skin for natural movement and long-lasting results.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Restylane?
You may be an ideal candidate for Restylane fillers in New York City if you:
Have visible volume loss in the cheeks, under eyes, or around the mouth
Want to smooth lines like nasolabial folds or marionette lines
Are interested in enhancing your lips or jawline
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Prefer a reversible, non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation
Whether it’s your first time with filler or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ll tailor the treatment to your face—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
When It’s Not the Right Time
Restylane may not be the best choice if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections, cold sores, or open wounds near the treatment site
Have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine
Are expecting dramatic or surgical-like results from a non-surgical treatment
Dr. Schwarcz or Nurse Heather will guide you toward the most appropriate options during your consultation.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To help minimize bruising and swelling, follow these steps:
Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for 3–5 days before treatment (if approved by your physician)
Skip alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
Let us know about any history of cold sores
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
We’ll walk you through any additional preparation based on the area being treated.
What to Expect During Your Restylane Treatment
Most Restylane treatments take 30 to 45 minutes and are performed right in our Manhattan office.
Consultation: We’ll review your goals, facial structure, and the most effective filler options.
Numbing: Topical anesthetic is applied, and Restylane products also contain lidocaine for comfort during injection.
Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is placed in precise areas for smooth, natural results.
Sculpting: We gently massage the area to ensure symmetry and a soft, refined contour.
You’ll see immediate improvement, with full results settling in after swelling subsides over the next few days.
Aftercare and Recovery
Recovery is minimal, but some aftercare is helpful:
First 24–48 Hours: Expect mild swelling or bruising, especially in delicate areas like lips or under the eyes
Avoid: Intense workouts, saunas, or alcohol right after your appointment
Use: Ice packs gently and avoid touching or pressing on the area
2 Weeks: The filler will fully integrate and any swelling will resolve
Most people return to work or social plans the same or next day.
How Long Do Restylane Fillers Last?
Depending on the area and product used, Restylane results typically last 6 to 18 months. Areas with less movement (like under the eyes) last longer, while lips or dynamic facial zones may require more frequent maintenance.
Complementary Treatments
To amplify your Restylane results, consider pairing with:
Botox or Dysport: Relax wrinkles and prevent future creasing for a more youthful look
CO2 Laser or Moxi: Improve skin texture, tone, and radiance
Morpheus8: Tighten and firm skin while stimulating collagen
These combinations offer a full-face refresh without surgery.
Alternatives to Restylane
If you're exploring other options, alternatives include:
RHA Collection: A resilient line of HA fillers designed for high-movement areas
Facial Fat Grafting: Longer-lasting results using your own fat
Sculptra: A collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores volume over time
We’ll guide you toward the option that best matches your goals, budget, and comfort level.
