Restylane HA fillers have a soft gel texture that was designed for movement and expression, so that your results are as natural as possible. HA is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps provide hydration, fullness, and elasticity. Facial aging begins in your 20s and is dependent on both internal factors (like genetics) and external factors (sun exposure, smoking, stressors). As we age, HA, collagen and elastin diminish, and our skin loses volume (fullness) while gaining wrinkles and folds.

Injectable dermal fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, and Dr. Richey has years of experience perfecting her approach. She always aims to augment your natural beauty, with the goal of natural results and you looking like a more refreshed version of yourself. You will never look fake or overdone. During your consultation, Dr. Richey will discuss all risks, benefits and expectations with you in detail.

• Treatment takes about 20-30 minutes and involves injection of the filler with a small needle or possibly a cannula, depending on which area we are injecting
• There may be minor discomfort with the injection, but the treatment is typically very well-tolerated. Most Restylane products contain the numbing agent lidocaine. For certain sensitive areas like the lips, Dr. Richey may numb you beforehand with a topical anesthetic or nerve block
• You may notice mild to moderate swelling in the injected area for several days after your treatment, and certain areas may bruise
• The product typically settles out in the 1-2 weeks following your treatment visit
• You should avoid any intense exercising for at least 24 hours after your treatment, but you can typically resume most of your normal activities 24 hours after treatment

Results vary depending on the product, your individual metabolism and the amount of product injected, but general durations are below:
