Restylane® Dermal Fillers
Have you ever wondered how it’s possible to maintain a youthful appearance without undergoing plastic surgery? One popular solution is dermal fillers. Restylane dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectable treatments that can provide natural-looking results for lip augmentation, brightening eyes, and smoothing deep wrinkles. In some cases, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers like Restylane can even serve as an alternative to plastic surgery for cosmetic improvements like cheekbone, chin, and jawline contouring. The injection specialists at TLC Med Spa are excited to offer patients in Houston, TX, a full range of Restylane treatments.
What Are Restylane Dermal Fillers?
The Restylane family of fillers are FDA-approved injectables made of HA, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps keep skin plump and hydrated. These fillers are used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and provide natural-looking lip, chin, and jawline augmentation. Restylane fillers are injected into the skin and are minimally invasive, making them a popular alternative to more invasive cosmetic procedures like plastic surgery.
Benefits of Restylane Dermal Fillers
There are several benefits of Restylane fillers, including:
- Natural-looking results: Restylane fillers are designed to provide natural-looking results, which means that the treated area will not appear overdone or "fake."
- Minimally invasive: Restylane fillers are injected into the skin using a small needle, which means that the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require surgery or general anesthesia.
- Quick procedure: The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete, which means that patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the treatment.
- Long-lasting results: Depending on the specific formulation used, Restylane fillers can provide long-lasting results, with some formulations lasting up to 2 years.
- Versatile treatment: Restylane fillers can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume in the face, and lip augmentation.
- Safe and effective: Restylane fillers are FDA-approved and have a long track record of safety and effectiveness,1 with millions of treatments performed worldwide.
What Can Restylane Treat?
Cheeks
Restylane fillers can restore lost volume in the cheeks, providing a more youthful, lifted appearance, and can also contour and enhance the appearance of the cheekbones, providing a more sculpted look.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Restylane fillers can effectively treat different types of wrinkles and lines in the face, such as frown lines, smile lines, and marionette lines for an overall more youthful appearance.
Lips
As we age, the lips can lose volume, become thinner, and develop fine lines and wrinkles. Restylane fillers can be used to correct these issues as well as enhance lip contour and add volume to the lips.
Chin & Jawline
Restylane fillers can also be used for chin and jawline contouring. By injecting the fillers into specific areas, our providers can reshape and contour the chin and jawline, creating a more defined, balanced appearance.
Non-Surgical Facelift
A non-surgical facelift with fillers is a cosmetic procedure in which Restylane fillers are used to lift and rejuvenate the face without the need for surgery. This procedure is done to add volume and lift to areas of the face such as the cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and around the mouth that have lost elasticity due to aging. Non-surgical facelifts with fillers are less invasive and have fewer risks and complications compared to surgical facelifts, making them a popular option for those seeking a more youthful appearance.

How To Prepare For Your Restylane Appointment
Preparing for a filler injection appointment is important to ensure that your procedure goes smoothly and to minimize any potential side effects. It’s important to avoid taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil, for at least a week prior to the appointment. You should also refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for a few days before the procedure. Additionally, it's a good idea to schedule the appointment at a time when you don't have any important events or activities planned immediately afterward, as there may be some mild swelling or bruising after the injection.
Your Restylane Treatment
To begin your Restylane treatment, your provider will clean the area to be treated and apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The Restylane filler is then injected into the targeted area using a fine needle or cannula. Your provider will carefully administer the filler according to your treatment plan, taking care to ensure that the results look natural and balanced. After the injections are complete, your provider will gently massage the treated area to help distribute the filler evenly and to minimize any swelling. The entire procedure typically takes between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Recovery After Restylane Injections
Recovery after Restylane treatment is usually mild and relatively quick. You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site immediately after the treatment, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.2 It’s also normal to experience some tenderness or sensitivity in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days as well.
You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure but should avoid massaging or manipulating the treated area for at least 24 hours. It's also important to avoid using any harsh skincare products or exfoliating treatments on the treated area for at least a few days.
The effects of Restylane fillers are typically visible immediately after the treatment, and patients can enjoy a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance for several months to a year or more, depending on the specific product used and the area treated.

FAQs About Restylane Dermal Fillers
How much do dermal fillers cost?
The cost of dermal fillers can vary widely depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the area of the body being treated, and the amount of filler needed. TLC MedSpa charges $650 per syringe, and more than one syringe may be suggested by our provider during the consultation.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The effects of Restylane fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the specific filler used and the area of the face treated. Over time, the HA in the filler is naturally broken down by the body and absorbed, which means that the effects of the filler will gradually wear off.
Are dermal fillers safe?
When administered by a licensed and experienced healthcare professional, Restylane fillers are generally considered safe and effective. However, like all medical procedures, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Restylane injections. These may include bruising, swelling, redness, and pain at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection or allergic reactions may occur.3
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Good candidates for dermal fillers are typically individuals who are looking to enhance their appearance, improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, or add volume to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or other factors.
What is the best Restylane filler?
Choosing the right Restylane product depends on several factors, including the area of the body being treated, the severity of the condition, and your individual preferences. The best way to determine which Restylane product is right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our injection specialists who can evaluate your unique needs and make personalized recommendations based on your individual goals.
