Restylane Refyne Injections in Williamsport, PA)

Restylane Refyne Injections in Williamsport, PAYour facial expressions tell a lot about who you are, including your age. The wrinkles and folds on the side of your nose and mouth are known as laugh lines; as you get older, your skin changes, and these wrinkles become more noticeable. Although a natural part of the aging process, these lines can make you look older than you really are.

Thankfully, there is a way to change that without resorting to expensive surgery. Restylane Refyne is a gel that can be injected under the facial skin to remove or reduce these laugh lines, restoring your face to a more natural, softer and smoother appearance.

What Is Restylane Refyne?

Restylane Refyne is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar naturally found in the body that gives the skin its elasticity, moisture and volume. Restylane Refyne infuses the hyaluronic acid with a small amount of lidocaine, which numbs the skin and makes the injections comfortable.

Restylane Refyne and Defyne Difference

Refyne and Defyne are both made by Restylane, and are dermal filler gels that use hyaluronic acid to treat facial wrinkles. Both treatments have also been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use on facial skin for individuals 22 years or older. The difference between the two gels is that Refyne is a less firm gel than Defyne is, meaning that while Refyne is used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, Defyne is used to treat signs of aging that are deeper in the skin. Talk with your healthcare provider about which gel is better for your treatment.

Restylane Refyne Procedure

A Restylane Refyne procedure usually takes about 15-30 minutes. Before your injections, you will talk with your healthcare provider about your desired results. Your skin will then be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to numb the injection site. Your healthcare provider will then begin the injections, pausing after the first injection to allow the lidocaine in the Refyne to further numb your skin. The injections will continue until your desired results have been reached. Your healthcare provider will then massage the treated area to evenly distribute the dermal filler gel and achieve a natural look.

Restylane Refyne Results

The Restylane Refyne filler will remove or reduce your laugh lines, restoring your face to a more natural, softer, and smoother appearance. These results can last for up to 12 months, though some report that it may last as long as 2 years.

Within 24 hours of receiving the injections, you should avoid strenuous exercise and minimize your exposure to sunlight or heat. You will also likely experience the following side effects in the injection area:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Lumps or bumps
  • Pain or tenderness
  • Itching
  • Redness

These side effects are usually mild, and will disappear within 1-2 weeks, sometimes as soon as 3 days. More serious – but very rare – side effects may include blindness, scabs or scarring, unusual pain, white skin near the injection site, or a stroke. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of these side effects, or if you experience mild side effects for longer than 2 weeks.
