Introduction to Restylane Treatment in Vernon Hills
Reinvigorate your skin over your
lunch break.
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid–based facial filler that helps smooth wrinkles and plump your cheeks and lips.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our skin, especially in connective tissue. Restylane has been used cosmetically for over 20 years with phenomenal, natural results. Discover what Restylane treatment in Vernon Hills can do for you.
Treatment overview
Restylane is a biodegradable gel used by dermatologists in injections targeted at smoothing out wrinkled skin.
Restylane is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance occurring within the body. This compound is also the only FDA approved dermal filler on the market for use in treating wrinkles. In addition, not only does the injected volume of Restylane add fullness to the skin, but it also attracts water molecules to the site of injection further enhancing its effectiveness.
What It Treats:
-
Nasolabial folds are the most commonly treated area. These are the lines that form the nose extending down to the tips of your mouth.
-
Vertical lip lines are also commonly treated. These are sometimes referred to as “smoker’s lines” as well.
-
The small lines that form just outside the tips of your mouth, sometimes referred to as oral commissures.
-
Marionette lines form just outside the edge of the lips and continue down to your chin area and are commonly treated.

Any wrinkles on the chin area

Benefits
All Restylane fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance found naturally in the skin that attracts and holds water to help keep skin plump and hydrated. Some other great reasons to receive a Restylane treatment are:
- Quick treatment with instant results, with little to no downtime.
- Hyaluronic Acid fillers like Restylane are temporary, with results typically lasting 6–12 months, depending on the type used and how your body metabolizes the filler. This makes them a good choice for patients who don’t want to commit to a longer-lasting change.
- Restylane fillers are infused with the anesthetic lidocaine to minimize pain during and after treatment.

How it Works
The Consultation
At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different.
Depending on your needs, desired treatments, areas of concern, and simply who you are as a patient, we will schedule you with an actual treatment provider to discuss your goals, budget, and more. During this appointment, we will go through before & after photos, your medical history, and any questions you might have. Only then can we make a recommendation for which procedures or treatments may be right for you and why. We will be sure to educate you on how the treatments work, including what to expect during and afterward.
A typical consultation lasts about 40 minutes and is free of charge for all aesthetic treatments, including Restylane. At the end of your consultation, you will leave our office in Vernon Hills with a thorough, personalized treatment plan. And when you’re ready, we’ll schedule your first treatment session.
The Procedure
During your Restylane appointment in Vernon Hills, we will ensure your total comfort in a clean, comfortable, and private treatment room.
Restylane injections are an in-office procedure that takes around 30 minutes. Your treatment will begin with a RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa experienced provider reviewing your treatment plan and listening to your expectations before treatment. Then treatment will include an ultrafine needle or microcannula (a blunt-tipped needle), that your injector will slowly inject the gel in tiny amounts, gently massaging the area with their fingers. You may be injected a few times to distribute the gel evenly in the discussed areas.
Ice will be provided to help minimize swelling.
The Recovery
Some Restylane patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects should go away on their own in a matter of days.
Also, we generally recommend patients avoid alcohol consumption, aspirin or ibuprofen, strenuous activity, and wearing makeup for at least 24 hours following treatment.
