As you age, your skin gets thinner and loses its elasticity. Even at a younger age, you can expose the skin to elements that would make it lose its elasticity. Do you want to restore your youthful skin without undergoing plastic surgery? Restylane Lyft dermal filler may be the right choice for you.
Restylane Lyft Filler in Tampa: What It Is
It is a dermal filler used to treat wrinkles and restore lost volume. It was initially known as Perlane, and it is made with Galderma’s NASHA® gel technology.
What are the Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Contained In Restylane Lyft?
Hyaluronic acid has many benefits for your skin. It is a humectant that holds water molecules on your skin’s surface to ensure it is hydrated. Hydrated skin means skin with a lot of water content. Hyaluronic acid prevents water from evaporating from your skin’s surface. Its benefits include anti-aging, moisturizing the skin, anti-wrinkle, and increasing skin elasticity.
How Restylane Lyft Works
The gel is premixed with a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, and injected into the target area. The lidocaine helps make treatment more comfortable. It takes time, depending on the number of injections you receive.
FDA-Approved Uses of Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is FDA-approved for adults over 21 to:
- Correct moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Augment the cheeks and correct age-related midface contour deficiencies
- Correct volume loss in the back of the hands
For lines caused by muscle movement, such as crow’s feet or frown lines, Botox is usually the better fit.
How does Restylane Lyft Combat Aging Signs?
As you get older, your body reduces the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, the natural products that hydrate your skin and restore lost volumes in various body parts. Reduced production of these products makes your skin thinner, loses elasticity, becomes less hydrated, and more susceptible to wrinkles and folds. Restylane Lyft replaces some of that lost hyaluronic acid to restore volume where it has thinned.
