Restylane® (Restylane Silk, Injectable Wrinkle Fillers) – Phoenix, AZ

Dr. G. Robert Meger, our board-certified plastic surgeon, is proud to offer multiple variations of the FDA-approved wrinkle filler Restylane. Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, that the skin easily uses and absorbs to add moisture and volume back into the face. The unique injection formula can also spread out into fine lines and creases that are hard to reach by other injectables. Our plastic surgery office in Phoenix, AZ, G. Robert Meger, M.D. P.C., offers Restylane to our patients who are seeking added facial and lip volume and smoother skin with less wrinkles. We invite our patients to schedule a consult to learn more about the benefits and decide which Restylane option would best suit their needs. 

The best candidates for Restylane:

• Are over 21
• Have moderate to severe lines, wrinkles, and folds near the mouth and between the mouth and nose
• Have thin lips and desire fuller lips
• Desire long-term results
• Desire natural-looking results

Dr. G. Robert Meger offers his Phoenix, AZ patients as many options as possible in order to address their specific needs. Our skilled nurse injector can administer the following for patients who are seeking restoration for their facial skin: 

• Restylane Silk: This injectable is FDA approved and effective at adding volume to the face and lips. It can also reduce the wrinkles around the mouth. 
• Restylane Defyne: This variation uses both XpresHAn Technology™ and cross-linking in order to counteract the appearance of aging in the facial skin. Defyne is effective in reversing deep dynamic wrinkles on the face.
• Restylane Refyne: An effective wrinkle reduction treatment, a Refyne injection is able to smooth out marionette lines and nasolabial folds around the mouth and nose.

Restylane is administered as an in-office procedure and shouldn’t require additional numbing since a numbing agent is already mixed in. The doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and mark the appropriate injection site(s). Restylane will be administered with a fine needle to fill in the lips or the folds between the nose and mouth. The treatment takes around 30 – 45 minutes to complete. There will be no downtime after an injection.

After a treatment, patients may experience a tingling sensation and redness. Effects are immediate and can be quite long lasting. For lip augmentation, the results can last for around 6 months. When used to treat lines, wrinkles, and folds, Restylane can last up to 1 year. 

Using Restylane is not only a great way to fill in unwanted lines and wrinkles, but is also a great lip augmentation option. Results are long lasting and dramatic. With Restylane, you can restore your appearance for a better-looking you. To learn more about this filler, please contact us to set up a consultation.
