Over time, the natural fat that surrounds the cheeks begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles and a reduction of volume. Through nonsurgical injections, Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to add fullness to the cheeks and midface area, which can result in a natural-looking, youthful appearance. It can also be used to treat volume-loss at the top of your hands.
It is recommended you make your Filler Appointment as least two weeks in advance of any special events to ensure the best possible and full result.
You’ll be asked to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, Ibuprofen, and certain supplements at least 48 hours prior to treatment to avoid increased bruising or bleeding.
You’ll be asked to confirm it has been at least a week since you last used retinol or had any prolonged sun exposure.
Treatments usually last around 1 hour.
Facial Filler is injected with a fine needle, in areas that need additional volume. All of our facial fillers contain a small amount of lidocaine (a local anesthesia), which numb the area to minimize discomfort.
Depending on the number of treatment areas, you can expect to use 1-4 syringes of filler.
It takes around 2 weeks for full treatment effects to appear. With results lasting 9-12 months.
You may experience tenderness, swelling, pain, or bruising at the injection site but this should subside after a few days. You can take acetaminophen to help with any discomfort, as well as arnica tablets or gel for possible swelling and bruising.
After treatment it is recommended to avoid alcohol, laying down, any strenuous exercise, and manipulation of the area post treatment.
As we age and our faces lose volume, some of us begin to look for ways to regain more definition in our cheeks without surgery. Restylane Lyft, formerly known as Perlane-L®, is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face.
Restylane Lyft is the first and only FDA-approved filler indicated to provide lift to cheeks and add volume to correct and smooth.
