An Introduction to Dermal Fillers

At Carolina Vein Care & Aesthetics, we believe subtle enhancements can make a significant difference in how you feel about your appearance. One of the most popular non-surgical options we offer for facial rejuvenation is Restylane, a family of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers.

Restylane fillers can help restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance your natural features—all with minimal downtime and immediate, subtle results designed to meet your individual needs. It’s a convenient option for those looking for visible improvements without disrupting their daily routine.

What Is Restylane and How Does It Work?

Restylane is an injectable dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA)—a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. As we age, HA levels decline, leading to fine lines, volume loss, and skin laxity. Restylane works by replenishing this moisture beneath the skin using a safe, minimally invasive approach.

Here’s how the process works:

  1. Hydration Loss Is Identified
    With age, the skin loses hyaluronic acid, causing a breakdown in firmness and elasticity. This often shows up as wrinkles, hollow areas, or sagging in the face.
  2. Restylane Is Strategically Injected
    Using an ultra-fine needle, Restylane’s gel-based HA formula is gently injected into targeted areas of the face—such as the lips, cheeks, or around the mouth—based on your specific aesthetic goals.
  3. Hyaluronic Acid Attracts Moisture
    Once injected, the hyaluronic acid binds with water molecules beneath the skin, naturally plumping the treated area and restoring lost volume.
  4. Skin Appears Smoother and Fuller
    Fine lines are softened, facial contours are enhanced, and the skin takes on a more youthful, refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
  5. Results Settle In Smoothly
    The Restylane formula is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing tissues, offering subtle yet visible improvements that maintain your natural facial expressions.

Choosing the Right Restylane Dermal Filler for Your Goals

During your consultation, our team will help you determine which Restylane product is best suited for your needs. Each formula is designed with a specific goal in mind, and all offer immediate results with lasting impact.

Restylane Kysse – Lip Enhancement

This soft, flexible filler enhances lip volume and definition while smoothing vertical lip lines. Results are visible immediately and typically last up to 10 months, depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle. Patients appreciate the subtle, hydrated appearance and minimal swelling associated with Restylane Kysse, making it a favorite for natural-looking lip enhancement.

Restylane Refyne – Fine Lines & Smile Lines

Refyne targets mild to moderate wrinkles, especially nasolabial folds (smile lines). It’s formulated for flexibility, allowing for natural facial expressions while reducing the appearance of etched lines around the mouth. Results appear quickly—often the same day—and may last up to 12 months with proper care, making Restylane Refyne an excellent option for softening smile lines without losing expression.

Restylane Lyft – Cheek Volume & Midface Rejuvenation

Volume loss in the cheeks is a common cause of facial aging. Restylane Lyft is designed to restore structure and lift to the midface, softening deep smile lines and creating a more youthful contour. The effects are immediate and typically last around 12 months, offering long-lasting support for midface volume with the structure and lift provided by Restylane Lyft.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After Restylane Treatment

Before your treatment, we’ll conduct a personalized consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and select the right Restylane product. On the day of your appointment, the treatment area will be cleansed and, if needed, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort.

The Restylane injections typically take just a few minutes, and most patients describe them as a mild pinch or pressure. Afterward, you may notice slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days.

You’ll also receive specific aftercare tips—such as avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours—to help minimize swelling and ensure the best outcome. Results are visible immediately, with full effects settling in within a few days.

Depending on the product and your metabolism, results typically last between 6 to 12 months.
