FAQ About Restylane in Orange County

Restylane is a hugely popular non-surgical treatment in Orange County. The plastic surgery team has provided answers to some of the most common questions they are asked about the treatment.

How does it work?

Before treatment, your skin will be cleansed at the treatment site. As Restylane contains lidocaine for your comfort, an additional anesthetic is not necessary. Using a special technique like crosshatching or threading, your plastic surgeon will inject a specific amount of Restylane beneath the surface of your skin at the treatment site. This will create an immediate correction of the skin. In order to properly place and smooth the product, your plastic surgeon may then gently massage the area with his hand.

What happens after treatment?

When you leave UC Irvine following Restylane treatment, it is not uncommon for the skin at the treatment site to feel overly full—this will dissipate soon. The beautiful effects of your Restylane treatment can last up to a year, as the solution is naturally broken down by your body. As this occurs, you may wish to complete touch-up treatments.
