Restylane As A Medical Spa Patient

By Kylie J. Peterson

Restylane is a clear gel dermal filler which uses non-animal stabilized Hyaluronic acid and is generally available from physicians with cosmetic medical practices. Discount Restylane is available from Canada wholesale.

Resylane was initially approved by the FDA to correct and restore fullness to areas where collagen and elastin have depleted. Unlike Hyaluronic acid from Roosters or bovine derived collagen products, Restylane is free of animal proteins limiting the risk of animal-based disease transmission or the body rejecting the injection causing an allergic reaction.

Patients receiving Restylane injections should expect to go through an extensive medical history consultation process prior to the procedure. This is also the time to discuss expectations of the client and the medical provider. During this consultation patients should divulge allergies as well as any vitamins or medications they are taking. Prior to injections patients should avoid using aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort, or high doses of vitamin E. These may increase the risk of edema or bleeding that the injection site.

During treatment the area will be cleansed removing all makeup. The medical provider may opt to topically anesthetize the injection sites for client comfort but it is not necessary. Restylane will then be injected under the skin with an ultra fine needle for minimal discomfort. You shouldn't notice any real pain during the Restylane injection but it might be slightly uncomfortable.

Results of Restylane injections are immediate and some side effects of the procedure include inflammation and erythema that could last up to seven days. Patients will need to return for additional injections in about six months.

Considerations to take into your decision making before receiving Restylane Injections:

Pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers should not be treated with Restylane.

Patients with an allergic reaction to gram-positive bacterial proteins.

Patients with hypertrophic scarring-characterized by a red bump that does not exceed the boundaries of the damaged tissue and usually fades over time or keloid formation-scars that can continue to grow beyond scar boundaries into benign tumors, should not be treated with Restylane.

Chemical peel patients after treatment with Restylane could experience inflammatory conditions.
