Do you feel that your face looks as though you are always tired? Do you wish your face had fewer creases and folds or that your cheeks looked fuller? If you said yes to any of those questions, you may be ready for a little aesthetic change. If you are worried that you will need plastic surgery, and you do not find that appealing, dermal fillers such as Restylane® Lyft in Houston can help turn back time and give you a brighter appearance without surgery.
Some people notice skin aging on their hands through wrinkles. As you age, the skin and underlying tissue on the back of your hands will decrease. Certain dermal fillers can be used to plump up the backs of your hands in a natural-looking way to make your hands look younger.
Our physician and staff offer many treatment options. After they discuss your concerns with you, they will guide you to options that best cater to your desired appearance.
The Houston dermal filler Restylane Lyft is part of a family of fillers made by Galderma, a leader in the cosmetic dermatology industry. Lyft is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar found in your body that can help skin retain moisture. As you age, hyaluronic acid levels in your skin and underlying tissues decrease. This causes your skin to lose volume and start to sag. As this happens, you will slowly develop wrinkles and creases in your face.
Filler in your facial tissues not only holds more fluid, but also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that your body slowly makes less of as you age. These proteins fibers will add to the fullness and they help give the filler its lasting power.
Restylane Lyft can improve your appearance in multiple ways. When placed into the base of a moderate to deep facial fold line, it will push the bottom of the fold upwards, causing the fold to soften significantly. This works to decrease smile lines (nasolabial folds) that extend from your nose toward your lips.
Lyft can add to your facial transformation when used to help bring more fullness to your cheeks. This brings better definition to your cheeks and lifts your entire face ever so subtly giving you a more youthful appearance.
Hands were forgotten territory until Restylane brought out the use of Lyft to help fill in tissue and hydration lost with aging on the back of hands, which we utilize at our office in Houston. It can do something that no lotion or cream can because it is bringing hydration to your skin from within with a long-lasting HA filler such as Lyft.
Restylane Lyft tends to last longer when placed on the cheeks than when used to soften wrinkles and folds. When used on the hands, Lyft usually lasts approximately six months. Each person’s result will be different, depending on how your body reacts to the dermal filler.
All injections of dermal fillers such as Lyft are done in our office. If there is a worry about pain, a topical or local anesthetic is used. There is no down time as you are able to return to your usual activities immediately with only a few restrictions for the first 24 hours. You may have a little bruising or swelling in the treated area but this is easily hidden with makeup. A cool pack will help keep swelling and bruising down.
You will start to see results quickly as the dermal filler starts the transformation. Restylane Lyft can be a quick fix when a special event in Houston is coming up soon. Over the following few weeks, you will see continued subtle changes as your body adds collagen and elastin.
