Provo, UT board-certified physician Dr. Stuart B. Porter offers a wide range of filler treatments to address lost volume, age lines, and wrinkles. Restylane is one of the most popular brands of injectable dermal fillers because it treats multiple issues with specialized formulas for long-lasting results. It is made with a synthetic version of the body's natural hyaluronic acid (HA), providing the skin a softer, natural look that is fuller and more supple.

Restylane injectable treatments are suitable for any person over the age of 21 who wants to refresh their appearance. Since it has several formulas, your procedure will be personalized to meet your needs and goals. Restylane can help you correct initial signs of age, including fine facial lines, or boost the volume in your cheeks and lips. It can also treat moderate to severe wrinkles, like frown lines, laugh lines, Crow's feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. Some treatments are mixed with lidocaine, so you need to disclose any allergies at your consultation with Dr. Porter to prevent a reaction.

Restylane treatments are performed in the office at Xage Medical Spa. In an effort to always stay on top of the latest cutting-edge techniques, Dr. Porter utilizes the Julie Horne injection technique, which he has modified to his liking. A numbing cream can be applied for increased patient comfort if desired. The treatment is injected into your skin with a fine needle and gently massaged so it reaches the needed areas. Multiple injections will be needed, followed by a cold, gentle compress to reduce inflammation. Each Restylane product is administered with the same technique but on different areas treated to fit your unique concerns and cosmetic goals.

When your Restylane injections are complete, you can return to normal activities. Your recovery timeframe will depend on what you are having treated, so talk to your injector about what you should expect. The injection areas may be slightly red and swollen, but this often goes away within a day. Bruising can be a factor, but this may be concealed with makeup. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours, and you should sleep upright for at least one night. Many patients will experience visible improvements immediately after the procedure, but it usually takes 1 – 2 weeks until the final results appear. Restylane treatments typically last around one year based on the formula selected.
