Thanks to Restylane dermal fillers, you can age with all of the grace and confidence you possess. Rather than let fine lines and wrinkles take center stage on your face, this quick treatment can smooth and correct the appearance of facial aging so you can focus on what is most important to you. Patients in Minneapolis-St. Paul can receive Restylane treatments at Rocheford Plastic Surgery.

What is Restylane^®?

Restylane is a wrinkle filler treatment in Minneapolis-St. Paul. It is used to fill in wrinkles and furrows in the lower face. It is especially good for those lines around your mouth. This filler can also be used to give lips a fuller, more defined appearance. Restylane uses hyaluronic acid, one of the major components of our own skin while adding instant volume.

“Not only is her skill impeccable, she is knowledgeable, personable, and realistic. Her facility and staff is outstanding. I would recommend her without reservation.”

“Dr. Rocheford and her staff made me feel valued, comfortable and confident in my decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck, arm lift and breast lift. I could not be happier with the results. I am now about a year post-op and loving having a shape again! I had lost about 70 pounds and had so much extra skin. Everything is back where it belongs.
On the two days I had surgery, the staff made it feel more like a spa day than major surgery. The instructions for care after the procedure were clear and I had access to a nurse if I had any questions. I highly recommend you look at her before and after gallery if you are considering plastic surgery.”

Who is a Good Candidate for Restylane^®?

Restylane is approved to use in those 21 years and older to smooth facial lines and wrinkles. Signs of facial aging can become visible as early as the thirties. If you experience signs of aging in the lower face such as parentheses lines around the mouth or vertical lip lines, you could benefit from Restylane fillers. Fillers can smooth out the lines that Botox and other injectables can’t treat. You can also benefit if you experience volume loss in the cheeks or thinning lips due to age.

Restylane^® Recovery

Common side effects of Restylane include swelling, redness, and itching at the injection site. However, these are usually mild and will quickly resolve. You can resume most daily activities right away but might want to avoid over-strenuous activity that can make swelling worsen in the first few days.
