Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine 1x1ML

Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine is a dermal filler used to add volume and contour to the face. It is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. The addition of lidocaine in Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine helps to reduce pain and discomfort during the injection process.

Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine is designed to treat areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or weight loss, such as the cheeks, temples, and chin. It can also be used to enhance facial features, such as the jawline, and to fill in deep lines and wrinkles.

The effects of Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine typically last between 12-18 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. Side effects are usually mild and can include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. As with any medical procedure, it is important to have Restylane® Volyme Lidocaine injections performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional.

Benefits of Restylane Volyme

Here are some of the benefits of Restylane Volyme:

1. Immediate Results: Unlike some treatments that require time to see results, the effects of Restylane Volyme are noticeable immediately after the injection.
2. Natural-Looking Volume: Restylane Volyme is specially formulated to restore lost facial volume in a way that looks and feels natural.
3. Non-Surgical: The procedure is non-surgical, offering an alternative to more invasive procedures like facelifts or implants.
4. Biocompatible: Restylane Volyme is based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. This makes it biocompatible and reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
5. Dissolvable: If there are any issues with the results or if a patient changes their mind, the effects of hyaluronic acid fillers can be partially or entirely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
6. Long-Lasting: While individual results can vary, the effects of Restylane Volyme can last for several months, and sometimes up to a year or more.
7. Safe Profile: When administered by a trained professional, Restylane products, including Volyme, have a well-established safety profile.
8. Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their usual activities soon after the procedure. There may be some initial redness, swelling, or bruising, but these side effects typically resolve quickly.
9. Hydrating Effect: Hyaluronic acid has the capability to retain water, providing hydration and plumpness to the treated areas.
