How Does Restylane® Lyft Work?

As we age, our skin gradually loses hyaluronic acid, leading to reduced elasticity, volume loss, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Restylane® Lyft replenishes hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, helping to restore moisture and improve structure.

When injected into the targeted areas, Restylane® Lyft smooths out wrinkles, fills fine lines, and minimizes scars. Its hyaluronic acid molecules attract and bind to water, enhancing your skin’s elasticity and fullness. This process results in a natural-looking lift and rejuvenation, improving the overall appearance of the treated areas.*

What Does Restylane® Lyft Target?

Restylane® Lyft is designed to address various facial concerns, making it a versatile solution for patients seeking to enhance their appearance and restore youthful volume. Key treatment areas include:

• Cheeks and Midface: Over time, the cheeks can lose volume due to the natural aging process, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance. Restylane® Lyft replenishes lost volume, lifting and contouring the midface area for a rejuvenated, youthful look.
• Nasolabial Folds: Deep lines, also known as smile lines, form from the nose to the corners of the mouth as skin loses elasticity. Restylane® Lyft smooths these folds, creating a softer and more refreshed, youthful appearance.
• Jawline and Chin: Aging can cause the jawline to lose definition and the chin to appear less prominent. Restylane® Lyft restores structure and enhances facial balance, creating a more sculpted and symmetrical profile.
• Scars: Acne scars and other facial imperfections can impact skin texture and appearance. Restylane® Lyft fills and smooths these areas, blending them with the surrounding skin for a more even complexion.
• Lips: For patients seeking to enhance lip volume, shape, or symmetry, Restylane® Lyft delivers natural-looking plumpness while maintaining the softness and flexibility of the lips.

Additionally, Restylane® Lyft can be used to rejuvenate the hands, address volume loss, and minimize visible veins.

Is Restylane® Lyft Right For Me?

 If you’re seeking a non-surgical treatment to rejuvenate your appearance and address signs of aging, Restylane® Lyft may be an excellent option. This versatile dermal filler is ideal for individuals looking to:

• Restore lost facial volume in the cheeks, midface, or hands.
• Smooth moderate to severe wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
• Enhance facial contours, including the jawline, chin, and cheekbones.
• Improve the appearance of acne scars or other facial imperfections.
• Achieve natural-looking lip enhancement.

Restylane® Lyft is also a great choice for those who prefer minimally invasive treatments with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Restylane® Lyft Treatments 

Restylane® Lyft offers numerous benefits that set it apart from other dermal fillers:

• Biocompatible and Safe: Since hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, Restylane® Lyft is highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
  
• Immediate Results: Patients often notice fuller, smoother skin after the procedure, with continued improvement as swelling subsides.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Results from Restylane® Lyft typically last between 6 to 8 months, with some patients experiencing benefits for up to 12 months.
• Combination-Friendly: Restylane® Lyft is safe to use with other cosmetic treatments, such as neuromodulators or other fillers, for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Repeat injections are recommended for optimal results, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

What to Expect During the Restylane® Lyft Procedure 

The Restylane® Lyft procedure is a straightforward, minimally invasive treatment designed to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

Initial Consultation 

Before the procedure, you’ll consult with Dr. Allenby or one of our nurse practitioners to discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns. They will evaluate the areas you wish to treat, review your medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Preparation

On the day of your procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort, even though Restylane® Lyft contains lidocaine for additional pain relief during the injections.

The Injection Process

Our providers will use a fine needle or cannula to inject Restylane® Lyft into the targeted areas. The depth and placement of the injections are carefully customized to achieve the desired results, whether you are looking to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance contours.

The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Post-Treatment

After the procedure, you may notice immediate improvement in the treated areas, with further enhancement as any swelling subsides. You can resume most of your daily activities immediately, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours.

Follow-Up Care

Results from Restylane® Lyft are long-lasting, typically 6 to 8 months, and may extend up to 12 months or more with maintenance treatments. Dr. Allenby will recommend a follow-up schedule to maintain your refreshed, youthful appearance.
