What is Restylane Contour?
It is a hyaluronic acid filler in the Restylane family. FDA approved it in 2021 and released it in the market the same year to enhance cheeks, correct midfacial volume deficiency, and other contours of the face for more than six months in adults aged over 21 years. Its remarkable results speak volumes, although they vary from one person to another. However, over 98 percent of patients who have used it say the results last up to a year. You require little treatment with this dermal filler to achieve your desired look. Providers use Restylane contour to help patients restore a natural mid-face shape; it harmonizes and a flexible when smiling. It falls in a family of Restylane XpresHan dermal fillers, including Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, and Restylane Kysse. This new dermal filler made Restylane the only company currently in the united states with the most extensive portfolio of dermal fillers. Other continents use the Restylane contour under different names. It is known as Emervel Volyme, or Restylane Volyme in Europe has been in use for more than a year. Over 1.5 million injections of this dermal filler have been performed globally. It has three main functions: enhancing the cheek, contouring, and support. The product is flexible but very supportive.
How Does Restylane Contour Work?
Restylane Contour starts working immediately after the treatment. Its goal is to restore lost facial volume and retain its youthful look. It is different from other dermal fillers, which can take a few weeks to start working. Once the dermal filler is injected into the skin, it fills the lost volume, giving the sub-dermal layers of the skin the bulk needed to fill it and make it look younger. The body absorbs the gel but will not lose the volume fast. Other dermal fillers fade as the body metabolizes the filler gel. However, Restylane Contour has an active ingredient that stimulates the production of skin-supporting proteins in the sub-dermal layers of the skin, making the results blend seamlessly with your final desired look.
What are the Risks of Restylane Contour?
Any procedure has side effects, and Restylane contour is no different. Restylane contour side effects include tenderness, bruising, headache, itching or pain at the injection sites, and swelling. The risks resolve within a week to two weeks, depending on the injection areas. Do not use this dermal filler if you are using blood thinners. Inform your provider if you are allergic to any medications or drugs to know if you are a good candidate for Restylane Contour.
What Should You expect after Restylane Contour Treatment?
The healing period varies from person to person and depends on the number of injections and areas that receive the treatment. Limit hot shower time or strenuous workouts to prevent extra bruising or swelling. Call your provider immediately if you start experiencing severe side effects. After the treatment, there is nothing to alter because you completely heal and can do anything. You can resume your normal activities after the treatment. However, if you receive several injections, rest for a day or two to recover. Restylane contour is not a permanent filler. Therefore, you will need future injections to maintain the results.
Can Restylane Contour be used with other Treatments?
Your provider can use Restylane contour with other products, such as skin tightening and resurfacing treatments and other fillers, for enhanced results. Your provider can use it with other dermal fillers to restore lost volume and balance the face through the liquid facelift process. In most cases, providers use other fillers such as Dysport or Botox to rest reactive facial muscles and provide a lip flip.
Does Restylane Contour Have Benefits
Restylane contour has many benefits. Compared to other dermal fillers, Restylane contour yields better cheek enhancement and a natural appearance for all clients. A study was conducted in Canada to compare the Restylane Lyft with Restylane contour. Results showed that Restylane contour enhances cheeks and makes them look natural at rest and with maximal smiles. Patients with good cheekbone support but with more volume or fat loss in their mid-face received Restylane contour treatment, while those with poor bone support in their midface and who can benefit from filler placement received Lyft injections.
How Long do Restylane Contour Results Last?
The clinical trial conducted by the FDA showed that 63 percent of patients who received this dermal filler injection could have noticeable cheek shape improvements one year after the injections and follow-ups. More than 95% of patients were still satisfied with their appearance after a year. The providers used at least four syringes to achieve the desired results. Your cheek enhancement can last 6 to 8 months after the treatment, but occasional follow-ups are vital for maintaining results. The final results display 4-6 weeks after the treatment because they produced collagen will have started restoring facial volume, and Restylane Contour takes around two weeks to settle in skin hollows.
What are the Ingredients in Restylane Contour?
Hyaluronic acid is the primary ingredient of Restylane contour that acts as a moisturizing substance in the cosmetic industry. It is a natural acid in the sub-dermal layers of the skin. The acid retains itself for a long time in the water, allowing it to sustain moisture balance inside and outside the skin. Hyaluronic acid is essential as it helps collagen production by acting as a catalyst. Collagen production helps in reducing fine lines, folds, and wrinkles and tightening the skin.
