How Does Restylane Smooth my Face?
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler that works by adding volume beneath the skin surface. Treatment with Restylane may contribute to facial smoothness in several ways: by directly filling facial creases or lines, by improving areas of relative depression, by restoring volume to deflated facial regions and by camouflaging the contours of wrinkles or sagging. Several hyaluronic acid fillers are available and each lasts approximately 6-9 months on average depending upon where in the face they...

Smoothing the face with Restylane
Although Restylane is an excellent dermal filler for facial shaping and volumizing, it isn't necessarily the best option without knowing what your treatment goals are, areas to be treated, budget, etc. Technique and correct amount of product will always be key factors in duration and final outcomes.

Restylane is a shorter lasting filler
Restylane is actually one of the shorter lasting fillers. Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin that progressively decreases with age.

How Does Restylane Smooth my Face?
No, Restylane and Juvederm are the thinner type fillers and will last about 6-8 months. If you're looking to smooth out indentations or depressions, of the face, Sculptra might be the best and can last up to 2 years. If you're looking to shape the cheeks, Perlane or Radiesse work best and I like using Radiesse to shape the jaw line.

Restylane
Restylane actually is one of the shorter lasting fillers. It lasts about 6 months. All the hyaluronic acid fillers fill contour depressions. They really aren't good fine line fillers and may show up as a bluish hue when injected too superficially.

Restylane is a great filler
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler which is similar to Juvederm. How long it lasts depends on several factors, including the individual patient and the specific location on the face. Restylane will not last as long in areas that move a lot such as around the mouth. Fillers that I commonly use include Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. These are all FDA approved. There is no one "best" filler. It depends on the individual patient and...
