Restylane is a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler well known for its ability to restore volume and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Did you know that there are many more uses for Restylane, though?
Here are 5 lesser known ways to use Restylane.
1. Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation with dermal fillers has become a lot more popular in recent years due to celebrities such as Kylie Jenner admitting to the practice. Restylane or Restylane Silk are wonderful for adding natural-looking volume to the lips, as well as for reshaping asymmetrical lips. Restylane is buildable, so you can slowly add more until you achieve your desired look without needing to worry about “duck lips”.
2. Cheek and Chin Enhancement
Did you know that you don’t necessarily need surgery in order to augment your chin? Restylane Lyft is a thick filler designed to be injected deeply to give more defined shape to the targeted area. It can be used to augment the chin and also to create high, defined cheekbones. No need for invasive implants – ask us about Restylane Lyft for high cheekbones or a well defined chin.
3. Non-Surgical Nose Job
While Restylane cannot be used to make the nose smaller, it can be used effectively to help smooth out bumps or create a new shape for the nose. If you have a minor issue with your nose that you’d like corrected, but don’t want surgery for, see if Restylane may be able to help.
4. Under Eye Circle Correction
Restylane Silk is often a great choice for correction of dark under eye circles, due to its smooth, fluid, and delicate nature. The skin under the eyes is very thin and requires a light touch. Dr. Nasrin Mani is very experienced performing eye treatments due to her years as an ophthalmologist, and specializes in correcting dark circles with fillers or lasers.
5. Earlobe Rejuvenation
Women often experience sagging, drooping, stretched-out earlobes as they age, due to wearing heavy earrings. Restylane can actually plump up the earlobes and restore them to a more youthful shape that earrings will look nice against. Maybe switch out those heavy earrings for lighter ones, though!
