Restylane is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs within our bodies. This synthetic version is molecularly similar to the body’s own HA but is chemically cross-linked to delay breakdown by skin enzymes. The result is a long-lasting gel that attracts and binds water molecules to maintain volume and smooth and firm the skin.
Depending on the specific formulation, Restylane fillers may also feature NASHA® or XpresHAn TechnologyTM. These patented technologies create a more pronounced lift and allow for flexible, natural expressions, respectively.

Price estimates for Restylane in Torrance, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, and throughout Los Angeles can give patients a good starting point when planning their treatment. However, the actual cost depends on the amount of product needed, whether you are combining fillers with other treatments, and the skill and experience of your injector. The best way to know the cost of your Restylane procedure is to come in for a personal consultation to receive a detailed quote.
You may be an ideal candidate for Restylane dermal fillers if you want to address facial wrinkles, volume loss, and other signs of aging without surgery. Most patients have moderate to severe wrinkles or volume loss in areas like the cheeks, lips, or under eye area.
Our experienced injectors will evaluate your facial anatomy and concerns before creating a custom treatment plan to suit your needs.
Restylane treatments are typically completed within 30 minutes. The fillers are formulated with lidocaine to ensure your comfort throughout your treatment. You can resume your normal routine straight away, though you’ll need to avoid rubbing the treated areas to prevent the filler from spreading.
You may have some tenderness at the injection site as well as minor redness, swelling, or bruising. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a day or two.
Restylane fillers typically last 6 to 12 months, though you may be able to enjoy your results for longer depending on your individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane naturally break down over time, so most patients receive touch-up treatments to maintain their results. The timing for follow-up treatments partly depends on how much movement you have in your treatment area. For instance, the lips usually need a touch-up sooner than the temples because they move more.
Restyle fillers are approved by the FDA and considered safe; however, side effects are possible. In the rare event of a serious complication, you can reverse Restylane with an injection of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. As hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body, there is no need to get allergy testing before your injections.
The best way to get safe, reliable, and high-quality results is to choose an experienced injector with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and proper technique.
Many of our patients choose to combine fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic injections during a single appointment for the most comprehensive results. BOTOX and Dysport page”]other neuromodulators work differently than fillers, targeting “dynamic” wrinkles, also called expression lines.
These wrinkles develop because the muscles in your face constantly contract and relax throughout the day, repeatedly creasing the overlying skin. When injected by an aesthetic professional, BOTOX temporarily immobilizes these muscles and smooths out the skin. Because combining BOTOX with fillers is so effective for rejuvenating the entire face, it is often called a liquid facelift.
Restylane and JUVÉDERM are both hyaluronic acid fillers, but they differ in their texture and application. Restylane’s particle-based structure can provide a firmer finish in certain areas. It is often used for more precise, detailed treatments like lip enhancement and under eye restoration.
JUVÉDERM, meanwhile, is known for its smoother, more gel-like consistency, making it ideal for areas requiring more volume, such as the cheeks and chin. Both brands offer a range of products tailored to different facial areas and concerns, with varying longevity and results.
Side effects like swelling or bruising are common but temporary after Restylane injections. The risk of an allergic reaction or complications is very low, especially when a trained professional performs the treatment.
Your injector will recommend the best product or combination of products based on your goals and the areas being treated.
