When Does Restylane Start to Work- When Will I See My Final Result?

You should see an improvement right after your treatment, but swelling will hide it. You can expect swelling to last for one to two weeks, then you can assess your results. Keep your head elevated to help ease swelling, particularly when sleeping. You can use a few pillows to prop your head up. 

    Typically results should be seen immediately after injections with Restylane. After 2 weeks all the potential swelling and or bruising should be gone, with the end results. I would give it at least a week until you judge the results. There are several possibilities if the results still don't show in a couple weeks; 1) some individuals require more filler (Restylane) in order for results to really show, in that case you may need 1 or 2 more syringes. 2) your body may absorb hylauronic acids faster than others, in that case there is a filler called Sculptra that is more synthetic and a good choice for individuals who don't see results with hylauronic acid fillers.

  If the results do not show up and you would like more volume or a longer lasting volume a great alternative for you would be the YoungVolumizer
