After your treatment

After your treatment you will receive post-treatment guidelines. It is normal to experience some post-treatment discomfort, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects generally disappear within a few days or up to two weeks after injection.

Other potential side effects can occur with dermal filler or Skinboosters injections. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner. Following treatment, there is sometimes a need for a touch-up treatment to achieve an optimal result.

FAQs

How long do the effects of the treatment last?

As Restylane is a non-permanent injectable hyaluronic acid product, the effect gradually diminishes with time. In order to maintain the aesthetic result, additional treatments, or top-up treatments, are recommended. Results may vary depending on the treatment area.

What is a top-up/maintenance treatment, and do I need one?
Since Restylane fillers and Restylane Skinboosters treatments are long-lasting but not permanent, it is recommended to have top-up treatment for maintaining the results achieved in the initial treatment. Top-up treatments will most likely require lower volumes of hyaluronic acid, depending on the injection area and the time gaps between the treatments. A clinical study has shown that with just two maintenance (top-up) treatments, Restylane is proven to last up to 36 months. For Restylane Skinboosters, it is recommended to have regular maintenance treatments after the initial 3 treatments to maintain a hydrated and radiant skin. Restylane Skinboosters provides impressive results that can last up to 12 months.
