Restylane Before & After
How the Restylane® Process Works
Your Restylane treatment in Canton begins with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll discuss your aesthetic concerns and desired results while carefully evaluating the areas you’d like to treat. If Restylane is an appropriate option for your needs, your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan.
During treatment, a skilled Dream Spa Medical injector precisely administers Restylane into the targeted areas. Restylane products use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. Depending on the product selected and treatment area, Restylane can help restore volume, soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in your body. It provides hydration, fullness, and elasticity to your skin. However, as you age, the production of HA decreases. This leads to a loss of volume in your skin and can exacerbate the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
Restylane dermal fillers utilize a clear gel formulation of HA, created with XpresHAn Technology™. It provides a soft gel texture with high flexibility to support your faces natural expression.
Restylane in Canton was the first non-animal stabilized HA dermal filler approved by the US FDA, and has been used in over 55 million treatments worldwide.
The length of a treatment with Restylane in Canton is typically 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the specific treatment area. The product is carefully injected in a customized pattern to achieve your desired results. Most patients find the process tolerable, often aided by the use of a topical numbing cream. The procedure is both efficient and effective.
Following the procedure, temporary tenderness in the treated area may occur, but it usually subsides within a day. The results can typically last up to one year, after which a maintenance schedule can be arranged. Eventually, your body will naturally metabolize the filler, and we will be prepared to touch up or restore your results as needed.
Restylane serves to fill lost volume by replenishing diminished hyaluronic acid in your skin and encouraging moisture retention. This helps smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and deeper folds, as well as correct sagging and drooping by restoring lost volume.
In addition, Restylane in Canton can redefine facial contours, enhancing the appearance of the chin, creating higher or more prominent cheeks, and filling in hollow areas under the eyes or in the cheeks.

- Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks’ time in between any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- If you have had dental work (including a cleaning) within the past 2 weeks, or are planning to within 2 weeks post your dermal filler treatment, we advise you to defer your treatment until the 2-week mark after your dental treatment.
- If you are actively on any prescription antibiotics or steroids, we ask that you wait 2 weeks to be treated upon completion of the medication course.
- If you are feeling under the weather or are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, it is best to wait until you have fully recovered to be treated.

Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause one to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area will most likely feel sensitive, swollen, and tender to the touch; this may last for up to 2 weeks. If you are experiencing excessive pain, discomfort, throbbing, or excessive swelling in the treated area, please contact Dream Spa Medical immediately so that we can assess if you should be seen by our team.
- Due to the lidocaine anesthetic in the gel, you may feel numbness or tingling immediately after the procedure, which will resolve within an hour.
- If you are being treated in multiple areas or if your provider is making a heavy correction involving a lot of product, you should expect your soreness, swelling, and tenderness to be more elevated. You and your provider can discuss what will fall into the “normal” range, and you will be contacted via phone within 48 hours by your provider to check in and see how your treatment is settling.
- We advise that you take Tylenol for any discomfort for 2 weeks post-treatment. It is best to avoid any type of ibuprofen, as it may increase your risk of bruising.

Your provider will set up a 2 week post-procedure appointment to address any concerns or physical developments, such as bumps in the treated area. Please call Dream Spa Medical if you are unsure about any of these instructions or have any questions.
- Ice or clean, cool compresses may be used in any area of treatment immediately after, up to 48 hours post-procedure. This will help any swelling and discomfort.
- Do not apply makeup over injection points until the day after the procedure. If you need to apply something for hydration to your lips, then please use Aquaphor/Vaseline with a clean cotton tip.

- We advise that you should not fly on an airplane or any type of aircraft for at least 1 week post-treatment. The changes in air pressure and altitude can exacerbate or produce swelling.
