Restylane®
What Is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a leading brand of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, designed to address various signs of aging and enhance facial features. Its product line includes solutions for smoothing wrinkles, defining contours, and volumizing lips and cheeks. Restylane® fillers are known for their ability to provide natural-looking results, with a focus on maintaining facial expressions and movement. Suitable for different areas of the face, Restylane® offers personalized treatment options for rejuvenating and enhancing one’s appearance safely and effectively.
Our Austin plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Holzman, has extensive experience performing dermal filler injections, and he can help create a custom non-surgical treatment plan that is optimally suited to your aesthetic goals.
What Are the Benefits of Restylane Injections?
Restylane® injections can be a safe and effective way to refresh your appearance without surgery or excessive downtime. One of the main benefits is natural-looking volume that helps smooth wrinkles and folds, enhance facial contours, and restore fullness to areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. Since Restylane® is made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, it can typically integrate seamlessly with your skin for softer, more realistic results.
Another advantage is customization. Different Restylane® formulations allow for tailored treatment plans that can address your specific concerns, whether you want subtle lip enhancement or improved facial definition. Results can be long-lasting yet temporary, giving you flexibility over time. With quick, minimally invasive treatment sessions and little to no downtime required, Restylane® can be a viable option for patients seeking noticeable rejuvenation with minimum interruption to their daily routine.

How Are Restylane® Injections Performed?
Restylane® injections are minimally invasive treatments administered in-office by Dr. Holzman. After mapping out the injection site(s), Dr. Holzman precisely injects the filler into the targeted locations for beautiful enhancement. As needed, a topical anesthetic may be applied prior to the injection. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, yielding immediate results that can last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific Restylane® product used and the individual’s skin type and lifestyle.
How Long Does Restylane Results Last?
Restylane® results usually last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the specific product used, the treatment area, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Areas with less movement, like the cheeks or under the eyes, often maintain results longer, while areas with more motion, such as the lips, may require more frequent touch-ups. Over time, the hyaluronic acid filler is gradually and naturally broken down by the body. Many patients choose periodic maintenance sessions to help preserve their more refreshed appearance and prolong results.
How Much Does Restylane Cost?
The cost of Restylane® treatments can vary, as pricing often depends on several individualized factors rather than a single flat fee. One of the biggest influences is the type of Restylane® product used, since different formulations are designed for specific areas of the face. The amount of filler needed to achieve your desired results can also play an important role, as some patients may require more product than others. In addition, treatment areas, the complexity of the procedure, and injector expertise can affect overall cost.
