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. 

Dermal fillers work immediatley in that the patient will see improvement following the treatment.  However, the final outcome is realized generally at the two week mark after any potential swelling/bruising has resolved.  Also, the smooth gel fillers work by attracting volume to the area injected (hydrophilic) which reaches its full potential at the two week mark as well.  Therefore, it's wise to not over-correct without taking these concepts into consideration.

We invite all of our injection patients to return in two weeks for a complementary check up to make certain our shared treatment goals were reached.
