4 Locations Restylane Can Be Used

Restylane - what is it and where can on the body can it be used? Restylane is a clear gel formula of hyaluronic acid, formulated to act like your body’s naturally produced hyaluronic acid. It’s designed to instantly help reduce visibly moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, or to add desired fullness to your lips.

Here are 4 locations this treatment can be used:

Lips. You have three choices here - Restylane, Restylane-L, and Restylane Silk. Either formula can enhance both the upper and lower lips, but you must be 21 years or older!

Marionette Lines. Another location Restylane can be used. Treat the area that extends downwards from the corners of the mouth to the jawline.

Laugh Lines. Reveal a younger-looking you in the area that extends from the nose, down to the corners of your mouth.

Lipstick Lines. Want to treat area just below the nose and above the upper lip? Restylane can fix that too!

Free Yourself from Hair in Time for Summer

Summer is coming, which means it’s time to dig those shorts, tank tops, and swimsuits out of storage!  While you can finally put away the winter jacket, you may be dreading the constant upkeep of hair removal in your summer routine - DON’T PANIC. Permanent hair removal is a perfect solution to get your legs ready for summer.

Here’s why:

Save Time. Tired from the upkeep of shaving or waiting for your next waxing appointment? With permanent hair removal - a few appointments are all you need to save you hours in the long run, so you can say goodbye to long showers and regular appointments.

 
Save Money. Think about what you’ll be saving! The expense of razors, shaving cream, waxing kits, creams, and salon services add up quickly. Since you won’t need to be shaving or waxing after permanent hair removal treatment, you can put your money into something that will last longer than a few weeks or a month.

Eliminate Pain. Razor bumps, burns, and cuts are common to shaving and are extremely irritating.  Waxing is especially painful and often leaves ingrown hairs that can become infected.  Permanent hair removal is relatively painless and will leave you feeling smooth all over. Need we say more?

Enjoy Lasting Results. Let’s emphasize the word “permanent”. It’s true - results last a lifetime.  Hair appears after shaving in days, waxing in weeks.  Picture yourself hairless in the spots that you desire without having to worry about keeping it that way. With just a few appointments, you can be hair-free!

At Radiance, we use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) - slightly different from a laser.  Our system uses a much larger treatment window than most lasers and spreads light over a wider area of skin to stop hair cells from growing, allowing faster coverage of skin and quicker treatments.

Wrinkle Fillers FAQ’s

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but who says you have to live with them? There’s a number of fillers and other products out there to give your skin the smooth appearance you desire. In a recent article, plastic surgery, wound care, and healing specialist Dr. David Zachary Martin answers some FAQ’s regarding wrinkle fillers. Here’s his expert advice:

Who is a good candidate for wrinkle filling?
Patients interested in softening facial creases, enhancing shallow contours, plumping lips, and improving the look of scars should highly consider the benefits. You should be in good health and speak with your doctor about any serious medical conditions you may have. 

How do fillers work?
First, we need to understand why wrinkles are so noticeable. Wrinkles can be visible when their depressions cast a shadow on the face.  Fillers work to replace lost tissue volume and collagen in the skin, so that the skin is fuller - reducing the shadow.

How long do wrinkle fillers last?
A wrinkle filler can last anywhere from 3-12 months.  Some injectables have longer-lasting results than others.

What are the side effects?
Mild swelling, bruising, numbness, and redness are common side effects experienced after the procedure.  They can take anywhere from hours to a few days to go away.  Results can be seen almost immediately.
