Overview
Restylane® is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers from Galderma, one of the longest-established HA lines in aesthetic medicine. Hyaluronic acid binds water and provides structural support, so injecting a crosslinked HA gel replaces volume that has been lost, lifts depressed contours, and hydrates the tissue from within.
The value of the Restylane® suite is that its formulations differ in gel firmness and particle characteristics. Firmer, more supportive gels are used deep on bone for cheek and midface projection; softer, more flexible gels are used for lips and fine lines; and the most delicate formulations are chosen for thin-skinned areas such as the tear trough. Dr. Zaks selects the specific formulation, plane, and volume for each area himself and performs every injection personally.
Areas Treated with Restylane®
Cheeks and Midface
Firmer formulations placed deep for structural lift and projection, restoring the support that flattens with age.
Lips
Softer, flexible gels for natural volume, border definition, and improved lip balance that still moves normally.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Direct correction of the folds running from the nose to the mouth and from the mouth corners downward.
Under-Eye Hollows
Conservative small-volume correction with a delicate formulation to reduce hollowing and shadowing in appropriate candidates.
Jawline and Chin Definition
Structural gel used along the jaw and chin to sharpen contour and improve profile balance.
Hands
Volume restoration on the dorsal hands to soften the appearance of prominent tendons and veins.
The Treatment Experience
Consultation and mapping
Dr. Zaks evaluates facial proportion, volume loss, and skin thickness, then plans which Restylane® formulation goes where and in what amount.
Injection
Product is placed incrementally with a fine needle, with reassessment throughout to keep results balanced.
Aftercare
Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. Swelling settles over several days; the final result is judged at about two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Restylane® product will I need?
It depends on the area and the correction required. Firmer gels are used for cheek and jawline structure, softer gels for lips and fine lines, and the most delicate formulations for the under-eye area. Dr. Zaks chooses at your consultation.
How long do Restylane® results last?
Typically between several months and roughly eighteen months depending on the formulation and area. Structural placement in the cheeks tends to last longest; lips, which move constantly, last the shortest.
Does filler hurt?
Most patients tolerate it well. The gels contain lidocaine, and injections are placed slowly in small increments. Lips are the most sensitive area treated.
Will I bruise?
Bruising is possible with any filler injection, especially around the lips and eyes. Avoiding fish oil, aspirin, and other blood-thinning supplements for a week beforehand — when medically appropriate — reduces the risk.
How is Restylane® different from Evolysse™?
Both are hyaluronic acid fillers but they are made by different companies using different crosslinking processes, which changes how the gels feel and behave in tissue. Dr. Zaks uses both and picks based on the area being treated.
