What Is Restylane® Silk?
Restylane® Silk is an injectable gel that was just approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2014 for lip augmentation and filling in fine lip lines. Restylane® Silk uses a tiny particle gel formula with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that facilitates cell repair and structure, to stimulate your body’s own healing processes. This refreshes and rejuvenates your skin, adding volume and tone for a soft, natural look. In addition, the included lidocaine minimizes discomfort during the injection.
Benefits of Restylane® Silk
Restylane® Silk will plump up your lips, reduce wrinkles, and soften vertical lines above the lips for up to six months after treatment. This can give you a fuller smile and a more youthful appearance, leading to enhanced self-image and self-confidence.
How Are Restylane® Silk Injections Administered?
First, the treatment area will be cleansed and prepped. The Restylane® Silk gel will be inserted gently through an ultra-fine needle. You will notice a difference immediately. The treatment session takes less than an hour, and you may return to your normal routine afterwards.
Preparing for Your Restylane® Silk Injection
The day of the procedure, do not take aspirin, St John’s wort, or vitamin E supplements. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as Advil or Aleve, should also be avoided. This will help minimize bleeding and bruising at the injection site.
