Revitalize Your Midface Complexion With Restylane-L in St. Louis

If you’re dealing with moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles, it may be easier than you think to soften them and restore your skin’s smooth, firm texture. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery in St. Louis, our state-of-the-art medical spa offers Restylane-L. This non-invasive treatment, administered by our expert nurse injectors, is an excellent option for treating nasolabial folds, under-eye hollows, and other signs of aging skin around the midface.

What Is Restylane-L?

Restylane-L is an injectable cosmetic treatment and part of the Restylane Collection of dermal fillers. Restylane-L is made with hyaluronic acid and is specifically formulated to act like your body's own naturally produced hyaluronic acid. It is commonly used to visibly reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

This clear gel filler can also be an excellent option for restoring lost facial volume, especially beneath the eyes. Additionally, Restylane-L can be used to enhance the shape and fullness of the lips.

Primary Ingredients:

  • Hyaluronic Acid: This is a natural substance in your skin that contributes to volume and hydration.
  • Lidocaine: Included to reduce discomfort during and after treatment.

What to Expect During Your Restylane-L Treatment in St. Louis

The first step of your Restylane-L treatment at our medical spa will be scheduling a consultation with one of our skin care aestheticians. They’ll discuss the treatment with you, examine your skin, and evaluate your health and medical history to ensure that you’re a good candidate.

When you arrive for the treatment, your skin will first be cleaned. 

Your provider may also apply a topical anesthetic, but this may not be necessary due to lidocaine being present in the filler. One of our expert nurse injectors will then use a fine needle to carefully inject Restylane-L into your skin. This won’t be painful, although you may feel a slight pinch.

In total, the treatment will only take about 15 to 30 minutes, and you can return home immediately after it’s finished.

Does Restylane-L Treatment Require Any Recovery Time?

Typically, Restylane-L treatment requires minimal downtime, and most patients have no issue resuming their normal routines immediately. Following your treatment, you may notice some common side effects, such as mild swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness. These symptoms generally resolve on their own within a few days.

To facilitate a smooth recovery and optimal results, you should do the following after your treatment:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
  • Keep the treated area clean.
  • Avoid wearing makeup for up to 12 hours.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours.
  • Apply a cold pack periodically to reduce swelling.
