While developing some wrinkles on the skin is a natural part of aging, it can be easy to feel self-conscious about this. Feeling confident about the appearance of your skin, particularly on your face, is a big part of feeling comfortable with your appearance in general. It is not just the normal effects of aging that can affect this either, as smoking can cause extra lines around the mouth, for example. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common for people to receive cosmetic treatments to help with these issues, and Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa offers a helpful treatment in the shape of Restylane.

What can Restylane help with?

Restylane is helpful in restoring more volume to the skin or lips, without the need for any invasive surgery. A large number of age-related appearance issues can be treated with Restylane, including smoker’s lines around the mouth and lips, so-called ‘crow’s feet’ around the eyes, facial scars, wrinkles and creases on the forehead and frown lines between the eyes. Restylane can also be used to fill out and ‘plump up’ thin lips into a fuller shape.

What is Restylane and what does treatment involve?

Restylane, along with other such fillers, is made from a special gel constructed from a form of degradable acid, which is perfectly safe for the skin and body. The degradable nature of the gel means that the effects are not permanent, and it will be necessary to revisit the Liverpool practice to continue seeing the effects – but after just one treatment with Restylane, the visible effects can last as long as a year. The treatment works by the filler gel being injected with a very fine needle to ensure minimal pain, and a treatment can take as little as thirty minutes.
