Restylane^® Cosmetic Dermal Filler Injections

Restylane^® injections are safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler treatments made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body.

Unlike other hyaluronic acid injections, Restylane^® injections are not made with animal products. This reduces the possibility of contracting an infection or having an allergic reaction.

Non-surgical Wrinkle Treatments

The number of cells in our skin reduces over the years, cell reproduce slows and less collagen is produced. These changes make skin less elastic and less able to recover from repeated stretching, scrunching and folding that occurs while making expressions or even sleeping. Unable to rebound, skin begins to wrinkle and sag.

In addition, as we get older the cells that make up our skin become thinner and less able to hold moisture giving our skin a drier, more crackled appearance. Fat cells beneath the skin reduce in size and cause the skin to wrinkle and sag even more.

Restylane^® injections act as a cosmetic dermal filler to return moisture and fullness to the skin, making them an ideal solution for non-surgical wrinkle treatments.

The hyaluronic acid in the injections restores volume to the skin to correct facial lines and folds. View pictures before and after Restylane treatment to see how cosmetic dermal fillers can reduce eye bags, eliminate laugh lines (from your nose to the corners of your mouth) and smooth sagging jowls.

Restylane^® maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane^® injections is hydrophilic or "water loving", meaning it pulls moisture from your body to the skin.

As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results.

The risks of non-surgical wrinkle treatments and cosmetic dermal filler injections are minimal and serious reactions are rare. The process of receiving Restylane^® injections causes only minor discomfort.

After treatment some people experience some redness or swelling. This will normally last less than seven days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappear.

Restylane injections can be used in conjunction with other anti-aging skin treatments such as intense pulse light (IPL) skin rejuvenation, Botox injections, or Obagi skin care products. You should not have Restylane^® injections if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years old.

Treatments for Eye Bags and Dark Circles

Dark circle under the eyes make people appear tired and older. By filling the hallows with Juvederm injections, people appear refreshed and younger.

Often dark circles and under eye bags can be treated successfully using cosmetic dermal fillers. These soft tissue enhancers work to fill the hallow areas at the perimeter of the bag, creating a more even surface.

Frequently, people prefer cosmetic dermal fillers over surgery or fat grafting because of the minimal downtime, natural appearance, relative cost, and reversibility. The elimination of eye bags using cosmetic fillers is virtually painless and recovery is minimal. In most cases, patients have minimal bruising that is easily covered with concealer.

When treating patients with eye bags, Dr. Tsai may choose to use one of or a combination of the FDA approved cosmetic fillers Juvederm or Restylane. Juvederm, a gel from the creators of BOTOX, is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
