About Restylane®
Has the aging process brought with it pesky lines, wrinkles, or volume loss that make you look older than you feel? If so, Restylane® dermal fillers may be the solution. These fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and attracts and binds water. This results in a restored, natural-looking volume for a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
At Charlottesville Plastic Surgery, fillers and injectables are administered by a nurse injector at our plastic surgeon-owned and operated medspa. You can feel confident in a safe treatment with exceptional results tailored to your individual cosmetic goals.

Who is a Candidate?
Individuals who are 21 years and older and are seeking to smooth lines and wrinkle or restore volume in their face can often benefit from Restylane® dermal fillers. However, this treatment is not ideal for those who are on blood-thinning medications, have a history of severe allergic reactions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you would like to know if you are a good candidate, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
The Restylane® Treatment
Restylane® treatment usually takes less than one hour to complete. The prepared areas will first be cleansed and then a fine needle will be used to inject the dermal filler. The needle only feels like a small pinch, so patients do not often need numbing cream.
Recovery
After your Restylane® treatment, there is no downtime required, which means you can return to your usual activities right away! We do recommend avoiding strenuous activities and alcohol consumption for 12-24 hours to ensure the best results. Be sure to avoid rubbing the treated area right after injection to ensure that the filler stays in the appropriate areas. Results can last anywhere from 6-18 months, depending on the formula used.
