Restylane in Sugar Land, TX
Restylane® treatments in the Sugar Land, Texas, and Houston, Texas areas are offered by Dr. David Stapenhorst of Signature Plastic Surgery. Restylane® is an injectable filler that Dr. Stapenhorst recommends for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face. Women who are 35 to 60 years old benefit the most from Restylane® treatments. Dr. Stapenhorst also recommends Restylane® to women who want fuller lips. Restylane® treatments last between six and eighteen months depending on the patient and the area treated. Restylane® works by adding a natural compound, hyaluronic acid, to the skin. The hyaluronic acid attracts water, which improves the volume of the skin. Dr. Stapenhorst may recommend Restylane® treatments in conjunction with other treatments to give the patient the desired improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
What happens during the Restylane® procedure by Dr. David Stapenhorst?
Dr. Stapenhorst may administer a topical anesthesia for the Restylane® treatment. The anesthesia helps the patient remain comfortable during the procedure. Based on the individual treatment plan, Dr. Stapenhorst injects the clear Restylane® gel into the skin at several treatment sites. Patients typically see full results one week after their Restylane® treatments.
When can normal activities resume after the procedure?
Restylane® treatments require only minimal downtime for the patient. Dr. Stapenhorst advises his patients that they should avoid exercise/strenuous activities or extremely hot environments for 24-48 hours after the Restylane® treatments. This minimizes the chance of bruising and swelling.
Is there any pain associated with the Restylane® procedure?
Some patients experience discomfort from the needle during the procedure. Patients have reported to Dr. Stapenhorst that they experience headaches, nausea, redness and pain after the Restylane® injections. In rare cases, patients have experienced muscle weakness, which may take several days or weeks to resolve.
