Treatments for fine lines and wrinkles without major cosmetic surgery often involve the use of injectable fillers (Restylane) or Botox. The purpose of fillers (Restylane) is to fill in the wrinkles and creases as well as plumping lips.

Now part of the treatment regimen for cosmetic surgeons, fillers (Restylane) are used alone or with other procedures to bring the youthful appearance back to patients' faces.

Fillers (Restylane) are made from a natural sugar compound termed as non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Sold under the brand Restylane, these fillers are used in numerous applications on the face and neck.

The use of fillers (Restylane) is common practice in cosmetic surgery offices. For patients to insure that their treatment with fillers (Restylane) will have the best outcome, using a board certified and trained cosmetic surgeon is an imperative.

Most of the time, quality fillers (Restylane) are injected in a minimal amount of time in the cosmetic surgeon's office. Depending on the location and amount of injections, swelling may take anywhere from 2 to 3 days to subside. There is no downtime with injections of fillers (Restylane) so resumption of normal activities is immediate.

Because the process of using fillers (Restylane) requires training, it is important to find a physician that has training specific to the use of Restylane. The use of fillers (Restylane) involves knowing the correct amount of product to inject for optimal results. For this reason, finding a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is the best choice.
