Filler Information:

 

Restoration Lab proudly use Restylane products for Hyaluronic acid fillers. Dermal fillers are facial injection treatments used to help diminish wrinkles while restoring volume and fullness in the face and hands. There are several types of dermal fillers, one being hyaluronic acid. 

 

All Restylane products are transparent hyaluronic acids, which are sugars naturally found in the skin that help provide hydration, fullness and elasticity.

 

Restylane has stabilized hyaluronic acids that are used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds or shape facial contours. Dermal fillers have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the cosmetic treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and soft tissue depressions. While hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in human soft tissues, the FDA-approved filler products Restoration Lab usesuse are hyaluronic acids that have been synthetically produced by a process of bacterial fermentation, and then chemically stabilized and purified. The hyaluronic acid found in these products is biocompatible and not an animal product, so there is little risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions. The filler treatments are customized for each patient depending on their particular need and can be performed in multiple areas of the face.

Pre-Treatment Instruction:

• To minimize bruising avoid the following ~7 days prior to treatment: 
  • baby aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, multivitamins, vitamin E and D, fish oils.
    • These are blood thinners and will cause you to bruise more easily. 
      • Note: DO NOT discontinue baby aspirin or any blood thinners prescribed by a physician before checking with THAT PHYSICIAN.
• Do not drink alcohol at least 24 hours prior to procedure (or 24 hours after injections).
• Do not use dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders. Please inform your clinician if you have any questions about this prior to the procedure.
• Sunburned skin can sometimes be painful when treated. Restoration Lab recommends always using sunscreen to protect your skin, especially in our desert environment.
