Can I Get Botox and Fillers at the Same Time?
Both Botox® and dermal fillers are popular treatments for anyone who wants to diminish wrinkles and restore volume lost due to aging. But can you have both treatments at the same time? Here’s the answer.
Destroy Laugh Lines With Restylane Refyne
The fullness that we may take for granted in our teens and early 20’s gradually starts to diminish as we get older.
As a result, many men and women begin to note the development of facial lines, creases, and folds when they look in the mirror or take a photo.
While these signs of aging may be concerning, dermal fillers can offer a safe, non-surgical option to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and rejuvenate skin for a fuller and more youthful appearance.
In fact, Restylane Refyne is one of the newest member of Galderma’s family of dermal fillers and is FDA-approved to target deep creases around the mouth.
Here’s what you need to know about Refyne, and its ability to improve laugh lines with immediate results and no downtime.
WHAT IS RESTYLANE REFYNE?
Restylane Refyne is a hyaluronic acid filler that uses an innovative XpresHAn technology to correct mild to moderate laugh and smile lines.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that’s naturally produced by the body and is considered to be hydrophilic, meaning water loving.
When injected into facial areas, hyaluronic acid pulls in water and provides plumping and volume enhancement.
With Refyne, patients experience an instant improvement to their smile lines, while maintaining facial flexibility and expression.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TREATMENT?
This treatment should only be performed by a skilled and experienced injector with in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and experience with this specific dermal filler.
In the right hands, Restylane Refyne is a very safe, effective, and quick procedure.
The treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes, during which time, the laugh lines may be marked and then the product is injected with an ultrafine needle.
Patients may experience a slight pinch or prick, but most find the process very tolerable.
Post-procedure, some minor swelling, bruising, and redness may present on or around the injection site. However, these symptoms resolve on their own within 1-2 days.
WHEN CAN PATIENTS NOTE RESULTS FROM RESTYLANE REFYNE AND HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
One of the main advantages of Refyne is that one treatment can provide immediate correction of laugh lines and creases.
Although it’s considered a temporary dermal filler, patients often note improvement for up to 12 months.
