Have you been searching for the secret to younger, fresher skin? A solution known as hyaluronic acid might very well be the answer you’ve been looking for, which is why so many of our patients have fallen in love with the youthful glow they’ve been able to restore with our popular Richmond Restylane® non-surgical treatments. Our practice offers Restylane® for men and women in Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia.

What Exactly is Restylane®?

Young skin contains high levels of something known as collagen, which is the main component of its connective tissues. It also contains something known as hyaluronic acid, but as we get older, our bodies tend to produce lower and lower amounts of these substances, causing our skin to more readily develop things like annoying lines and irritating wrinkles.

Our Richmond Restylane® is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that works to restore the levels of hyaluronic acid in your skin, effectively filling those lines and wrinkles for a fresher, smoother appearance in your face.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Restylane®?

Our patients absolutely adore Restylane® because it:

Involves a treatment time of less than an hour
Doesn’t involve any recovery downtime, so you can quickly get back to your life
Contains hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in your skin
Doesn’t involve any invasive surgery

Am I Perhaps the Ideal Candidate for a Restylane® Treatment?

You might very well be an ideal candidate for our Restylane® treatment if you’ve found yourself looking for a way to:

Enhance your lips
Smooth and soften lines and wrinkles on your face
Restore your facial contours for a naturally youthful look

What Should I Be Sure to Do Before Having My Restylane® Treatment?

The first step will be setting up an in-person consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons. This will give you the opportunity to learn everything you need to know about treatments and how they work, and we’ll walk you through every step of the process, so you can feel safe, and be confident that Restylane® is the best option for you.

What Can I Expect During My Restylane® Treatment?

Your surgeon will use a small gauge needle to inject Restylane® into your skin. Most patients don’t have any discomfort during the treatment, and we’ll happily off you a topical numbing cream, if that might help. Several injections will be made in the treatment area, to ensure consistent results.

You can return to your normal activities without any downtime, right after your treatment. You might notice a small amount of blood at the injection site, along with some tenderness and bruising, so you should avoid rubbing the area.
