As individuals age, their natural fat begins to deteriorate. As a result, wrinkles become more conspicuous, the skin begins to sag, and there is an overall reduction in volume. In order to counter these inevitable outcomes, one may want to turn to Restylane Lyft. Restylane Lyft is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel that helps to treat the loss in volume and appearance of wrinkles in the hands. The hyaluronic acid gives the skin a youthful and hydrated look while stimulating collagen production. Following the treatment, Restylane Lyft will help add fullness to the back of hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Restylane Lyft fillers last?
As per many aesthetic procedures, the time by which the results last may vary from patient to patient. As a general rule, the Restylane Lyft fillers can last for longer than 12 months when used to repair the fullness of the cheeks. However, with regards to treating wrinkles and folds, the fillers last for about six months. Subsequent injections are necessary in order to maintain the desired appearance for the skin. In fact, it has been found that the results of repeated injections in subsequent sessions tend to last longer than they did in the first session.
What should patients do after receiving Restylane Lyft fillers?
Several things should be avoided following the injections in order to maintain the look of the injections while also achieving optimal results. First, makeup should be avoided for 24 hours following the injections. Additionally, exposure to the sun should be limited because the UV radiation can disrupt the hyaluronic acid that exists within the fillers. Following the injections, patients may feel some swelling, pain, bruising, tenderness, redness, and itching; such side effects are normal for about two weeks, but if they continually persist the doctor should be contacted.
Do Restylane Lyft fillers hurt?
Similar to other injections, there tends to be a bit of pain and discomfort as the treatment occurs. However, topical numbing agents are used to minimize the pain of the injections. Additionally, Restylane Lyft contains lidocaine which has the capacity to further limit the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure.
Do patients look natural upon receiving Restylane Lyft injections?
Restylane Lyft is well known for producing very natural looking skin for patients upon treatment. In fact, many patients are able to return back to their normal daily routines following the injections.
