What causes less-than-defined lips and contours?

There are several factors that contribute to undefined thin lips and hollow facial contours. Age, genetics, and lifestyle habits such as smoking all play a role in the loss of volume and definition in these areas. As we age, our natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid — two essential components for youthful-looking skin — decreases. This leads to less elasticity and plumpness in the lips and cheeks, creating an aged look.

What is Restylane?

You may have heard of popular cosmetic injectables such as JUVÉDERM®, but Restylane is another well-known and trusted brand that has been used for many years. It's made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that helps hydrate the skin. This makes it a safe and effective option for creating plump, full lips and defining facial features.

What types of Restylane treatments are available?

Restylane offers a range of products that address different areas and concerns in Chico, CA, including:

• Restylane: Used for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
• Restylane Defyne: Designed to treat deep laugh lines and smile wrinkles.
• Restylane Lyft: Addresses mid-face volume loss, making it a popular choice for cheek augmentation.
• Restylane Refyne: Targets moderate smile lines around the mouth.
• Restylane Silk: Made for lip enhancement and smoothing out vertical lip lines.
• Restylane Kysse: Formulated to add volume and contour to thin lips.

What happens during a Restylane filler appointment?

During a dermal filler appointment at Amour Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Alonso will begin by discussing your desired results and assessing your facial features. We want to determine the product and injection technique for your needs.

Using a fine needle, Dr. Alonso will carefully inject Restylane into targeted areas of your face. This is followed by a cool compress to reduce swelling or bruising. The process takes less than 30 minutes, based on the number of areas being treated.

How long does Restylane last?

So, how long does Restylane last? On average, results last from 6 – 18 months, depending on the type of Restylane filler used. Factors like metabolism, lifestyle choices, and the amount of product injected can also influence the longevity of results. Rest assured that patients are able to maintain their new, full lips and more with touch-up appointments.
