How Long Does It Take for Restylane to Reach Maximum Effect?

When you have any dermal filler injection that is a hyaluronic acid based product, you see the results immediately. Waiting up to two weeks is often a good time frame to give the product time to settle, swelling has subsided, and you see final results.

Dear lbkautz,


You will see results immediately after injection

The final results take 2 weeks to settle out (they will swell a little bit, then come down)


Best regards,

     Restylane may have associated swelling and bruising, but its effects should be realized immediately upon injection.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

However, it often takes a few days for swelling to settle, or longer if there has been bruising.  Depending on the area of the face being treatment, an adjustment of the material may be helpful a week after treatment.

The effect from Restylane should take place fairly immediately.  There can be some swelling associated with the injection, so sometimes it can take a few days to see the final result.
