Restylane® in Houston, TX

Restylane is a family of injectable fillers that work to counteract the effects of aging, as well as add volume to the face. This hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is approved by the FDA and administered by Houston double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anthony E. Brissett. Containing HA, the substance is safely and effectively absorbed into the skin since it’s naturally found in the body. It aids in hydration and adding volume to smooth out and plump up various areas of the face. With its unique formula, Restylane spreads out beyond the injection site to treat wrinkles that are close together between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds). It’s also used for lip augmentation.

As you age, the complexion might begin to become dull and lifeless. With Restylane injections at Dr. Anthony E. Brissett in Houston, TX, you could boost the facial shape to find many benefits using a few different treatment options, a few of which are:

• Natural components, such as hyaluronic acid, which the body makes
• Smoother and refreshed skin texture
• Multiple injection areas, such as the decolletage, face, and hands
• Build your self-confidence

The best candidates for Restylane:

• Are over 21
• Have moderate to severe lines, wrinkles, and folds near the mouth and between the mouth and nose
• Have thin lips and desire fuller lips
• Desire long-term results
• Desire natural-looking results

Restylane is administered as an in-office procedure and shouldn’t require additional numbing since a numbing agent is already mixed in. The doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and mark the appropriate injection site(s). Restylane will be administered with a fine needle to fill in the lips or the folds between the nose and mouth. The treatment takes around 30 – 45 minutes to complete. There will be no downtime after an injection.

After a treatment, patients may experience a tingling sensation and redness. Effects are immediate and can be quite long-lasting. For lip augmentation, the results can last for around 6 months. When used to treat lines, wrinkles, and folds, Restylane can last up to 1 year. 

How much does Restylane cost?
Your cost for Restylane treatments will vary based on several things, like which product is selected, where it is used, the amount of filler used, and more. During your Restylane consultation, your injector will listen to your areas of concern before creating a personalized treatment plan. After this, your cost can be estimated, and we can review payment options.

How often do I need to come back for a touch-up?
