How to Prepare for Restylane Injections

It is a fact that some men and women really find it difficult to accept the physical effects of aging. They fear wrinkles, and do whatever they can to either ignore them or prevent them. For example, men will start behaving much as they did back when they were in their twenties – they will start driving around in small cars with their balding heads whipping in the wind. Women will start using lots of anti-aging creams or pile on the makeup.

Actually, all of this behavior is unnecessary, because there are various procedures, such as Restylane injections, that are used to fill in the lines an assorted other wrinkles on a person's face. When a person is first considering having Restylane injections done, the first thing that he or she should do is find out that these kinds of injections contain.

Specifically, Restylane injections are made up of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. When injected into the upper epidermal layers, this acid bonds with the natural water molecules that are in the face, and the lines and wrinkles fill out. In order to properly prepare for the Resylane injections, the patient will need to first find a reputable dermatologist.

Once an excellent dermatologist has been found to do the procedure (which has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration), the next step is to schedule a consultation to discuss the procedure. On the day of the procedure, the patient's face will be numbed by a local anesthetic, and the injections will be administered. These injections will then last for six months.
