Restylane®
Conveniently located to serve: Delray Beach
Allenby Cosmetic Dermatology is proud to offer Restylane®, an FDA-approved, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA), used to smooth wrinkles and plump lips. This procedure was approved by the FDA in December of 2003 after six U.S. clinical trials proved that Restylane is safe and effective for use as a dermal filler to improve facial folds and wrinkles. Unlike many other cosmetic products injected into the skin, Restylane is considered safe enough to be administered without any allergy test before treatment.
What Is Restylane?
Restylane® is a popular hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler designed to enhance facial contours, smooth wrinkles, and restore volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
Restylane® works by replenishing this substance in targeted areas, promoting collagen production, and providing natural-looking results that rejuvenate the face without surgery. Its smooth gel consistency blends seamlessly with your skin, creating soft, natural results that help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Restylane®
Restylane® offers a range of benefits for those seeking a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation. Its hyaluronic acid-based formula works with the body’s natural processes to add volume, smooth lines, and restore a youthful glow. Here are some key benefits of Restylane®:
- Natural-looking results: Restylane® combines seamlessly with the skin, providing soft, subtle enhancements that look and feel natural.
- Versatility: With different formulas tailored to address a variety of concerns, Restylane® can treat everything from fine lines and lip enhancement to cheek contouring and deep folds.
- Long-lasting effects: Results can last anywhere from six months to over a year.
- Minimal downtime: As a minimally invasive treatment, Restylane® requires little to no recovery time, letting you resume daily activities shortly after your session.
- Customizable treatment: Each Restylane® product is designed for specific areas and concerns so your provider can create a treatment plan that fits your goals.
*Individual results may vary.
What To Expect with a Restylane Procedure
During the treatment, a small amount of Restylane® is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes about 15-30 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream or anesthetic like lidocaine may be used to make sure you are comfortable during the procedure.
What Areas Does Restylane® Treat?
Restylane® is a versatile dermal filler injection that can address multiple areas of the face to restore volume and smooth out fine lines. Common treatment areas include:
- Nasolabial Folds (Laugh Lines): Smooths the deep lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines (Lip Lines): Reduces the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
- Cheeks: Adds volume and contour to create a more youthful, lifted appearance.
- Lips: Enhances lip volume, shape, and definition.
- Under-eye Hollows: Fills in hollow areas under the eyes to reduce dark circles and a tired appearance.
- Jawline and Chin: Defines and contours the lower face for a more sculpted look.
- Hands: Restores volume to aging hands for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Side Effects of Restylane®
Restylane® is generally well-tolerated, but as with any procedure, there may be some side effects. Common side effects may include slight swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Some patients may experience minor lumps or bumps under the skin, but these usually smooth out as the filler settles.
More rare side effects can include infection, prolonged swelling, or allergic reactions, although these are uncommon when treatment is performed by a qualified provider.
In very rare cases, patients may experience more serious complications, such as blood vessel blockage or vision changes. Make sure to share your complete medical history with your provider to minimize risks so you can get the safest, most effective results. Following your provider’s aftercare instructions can also help reduce the likelihood of side effects and promote a smooth recovery.

Restylane FAQs
If you are still unsure about Restylane, we have answered some commonly asked questions we receive.
Is Restylane® safe?
Restylane® is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects, such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. Your provider will review your medical history before the procedure to make sure the treatment is right for you.
How is Restylane® different from other dermal fillers?
Restylane® is known for its versatility and ability to treat multiple areas of the face. Its hyaluronic acid formula mimics the body’s natural substance, making it an excellent choice for restoring volume while maintaining a natural look. Other fillers, like Juvederm®, may have slightly different consistencies and uses, but both aim to provide a more youthful appearance.
What are the different types of Restylane?
Restylane offers a variety of formulations, each tailored to specific treatment areas and concerns, allowing for a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation. The original Restylane formula is ideal for smoothing moderate to severe wrinkles, like nasolabial folds, and can also add volume to the lips. Restylane Lyft is perfect for adding volume to the cheeks and midface, creating a natural, lifted look.
If you’re looking for a subtle lip enhancement or want to smooth fine lines around the mouth, Restylane® Silk provides a delicate texture that achieves soft, natural results without over-plumping. For mild to moderate lines and wrinkles, Restylane Refyne is a great option, providing smooth, natural results while maintaining facial flexibility for genuine expressions.
When it comes to more pronounced facial volume loss or deeper facial lines, Restylane Defyne is your go-to choice to soften your severe laugh lines while preserving natural facial movement. Finally, Restylane Kysse was developed specifically for lip enhancement. It adds fullness, refines lip shape, and improves texture and color, providing a soft, flexible feel so lips look beautifully natural and move comfortably.
