Restylane in Charlotte, NC

Restoring Your Youth

You have the routine down. You drink water, you wear SPF, and you invest in quality skincare. Yet, there comes a point where even the best creams simply aren't enough. That's because the changes you're noticing (the deepening shadows under the eyes, the softening of the jawline, or the lines framing the mouth) aren't actually skin problems. They're structural ones.

Aging is often misunderstood as just sagging, when in reality, it's largely caused by volume loss. As we age, the fat pads that give our faces their soft, upright contour begin to shrink and shift. The result isn't just wrinkles, but a change in how light interacts with your face, creating shadows that make you look fatigued even when you are fully rested.

At Premier Plastic Surgery Center, we're not in the business of freezing your features or erasing your history. We believe in rebuilding the foundation of your youth. That's why we offer Restylane, a brand that Charlotte patients love. A sophisticated family of dermal fillers designed to replace lost structure, it's the perfect choice for correcting sunken cheeks, smooth nasolabial folds, or simply looking like the most refreshed version of yourself. Restylane provides the architectural support your face needs to reflect how you actually feel.

What Is Restylane?


Restylane isn't a single product. It’s a portfolio of injectable fillers built on the science of hyaluronic acid (HA).

To understand why Restylane fillers work so well, you have to look at the biology of your own skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in your body. Its primary job is to hold water. It acts like a sponge, keeping your tissues lubricated, hydrated, and plump. In fact, a single molecule of HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

The Restylane formula utilizes a crystal-clear gel form of non-animal, stabilized hyaluronic acid. When injected beneath the surface, it mimics your body’s own HA. It instantly integrates into the tissue to add volume, smooth out lines and wrinkles, and improve elasticity. Because it’s biocompatible, it feels natural to the touch and moves seamlessly with your expressions.

Benefits of Restylane Treatments


Choosing Restylane treatments means choosing a product with a decades-long safety record. Because it’s based on a substance your body already produces, the risk of reaction is incredibly low.

  • Versatility: From firm gels for lifting to flexible gels for movement, the Restylane product line can be customized for every area of the face.
  • Reversibility: Unlike permanent implants, HA fillers can be dissolved if the aesthetic vision changes or needs adjustment.
  • Hydration: Beyond just volume, the HA pulls moisture into the dermis, improving overall skin quality.
  • Immediate Gratification: You’ll see improvements before you even leave the chair.

Candidates for Dermal Fillers


There’s no right age to start getting aesthetic treatments. Most patients come to us when they notice that their skincare routine just isn't cutting it anymore. You might be a good candidate if you want to:

  • Correct volume loss in the mid-face or temples.
  • Smooth nasolabial folds (the "parentheses" lines around the mouth).
  • Add definition or fullness to thin lips.
  • Soften fine lines around the mouth.
  • Achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery.
  • Facial balancing

What The Restylane Portfolio Can Address


Not all fillers are created equal. The skin on your chin is very different from the skin on your lips, so you need a specific tool for each job. We select the specific Restylane filler based on the facial areas we are treating.

Restylane Lyft: For Structure and Lift

Restylane Lyft is like the foundation. It has a higher G-Prime (firmness), making it ideal for deep structural support. We use it to restore volume to sunken cheeks, define the chin, and smooth deep folds. It provides a lift that pulls the lower face up, reducing the appearance of jowls.

Restylane Refyne & Defyne: For Expression Lines

These fillers are the flexible workers of the family. Restylane Refyne and Defyne are used to treat lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth (like marionette lines). Because they are flexible, they don't look stiff when you smile. They simply fill the void while allowing your face to remain expressive.

Restylane Silk: For Fine Details

Restylane Silk was the first FDA-approved product specifically for lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth. It utilizes smaller particles to treat superficial fine lines (often called smoker's lines) with extreme precision, offering a silky, smooth finish.

Prep and Consultation


Your results depend heavily on the planning phase. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history and your specific aesthetic goals. It’s important to tell us if you’re taking any blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements), as these can increase bruising.

We’ll analyze your facial anatomy to determine the correct Restylane product and volume needed to achieve your desired outcome. This is a partnership, so we want to make sure our aesthetic vision aligns with yours.

The Procedure Experience


A Restylane treatment is a quick and manageable process. We start by cleaning the injection sites. Most Restylane fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, mixed right into the gel. We also use a topical numbing cream prior to injection. This means the area numbs itself temporarily as we inject.

Using a fine needle or a cannula, Dr. Ferrari or our expert injectors will place the gel at precise depths. You might feel a pinch or a pressure sensation, but it’s rarely painful. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 to 45 minutes, making it a true lunch break treatment. You’ll be handed a mirror to see your immediate results.

Recovery and Aftercare


One of the biggest advantages of injectable fillers is the minimal downtime. You can return to your daily life right away, though we recommend skipping the gym for 24 hours.

You may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. This is a normal reaction to the needle, not the product. We’ll provide ice packs to help minimize inflammation. To ensure the product settles perfectly, avoid touching and rubbing the treated area or lying face down for the first night. Any initial fullness usually settles within two weeks, revealing your final, natural-looking results.

Results


While Restylane results are temporary, they are long-lasting. Depending on the specific Restylane product used and your body’s metabolism, you can expect the benefits to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

The hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down and is naturally absorbed by the body. To maintain your look, most patients schedule additional treatments once or twice a year. Interestingly, clinically-proven studies suggest that regular treatments can stimulate your own collagen production over time, meaning you might need less product in the future.

Cost of Restylane


The Restylane cost varies based on how many syringes are required to achieve your goals. Treating fine lines might require one syringe, while a full cheek and chin augmentation might require several. We view Restylane treatments as a customized investment in your confidence. We’ll provide a clear, upfront quote before we open a single box.

It’s easy to find someone who offers fillers. It’s harder to find an artist who understands anatomy. Restylane dermal fillers are medical products and the skill of the injector determines the safety and beauty of the result.

Dr. Ferrari brings deep surgical knowledge to non-surgical treatments. He understands where the nerves and vessels are, and more importantly, he understands balance. We don't overfill. Our goal is to create natural-looking improvements that make people wonder why you look so good, not ask who did your lips. When you receive Restylane injections at our center, you can rest assured that you’re in expert hands.

Restylane FAQs


Most patients tolerate the procedure very well. The local anesthetic in the syringe, combined with our gentle technique, keeps discomfort to a minimum. We can also apply a topical numbing cream beforehand if you’re nervous.

Not if it’s done right. The frozen or overfilled look usually comes from using too much product or placing it incorrectly. We only use enough filler to restore what was lost, not to change your fundamental features. We prioritize natural-looking results.

Swelling is usually mild and peaks the morning after treatment. It typically resolves within two to three days. Lips tend to swell more than cheeks, so plan your social calendar accordingly.

Absolutely. In fact, they work better together. While Restylane addresses volume loss, neuromodulators address the muscle movement that causes wrinkles. Using both can provide a comprehensive, refreshed appearance.

Yes. Restylane is FDA-approved and has been used in millions of treatments worldwide. Because it’s made of hyaluronic acid, a substance natural to your body, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low.

If you choose not to maintain your fillers, your face will simply gradually return to its original appearance. You won't look saggier or older than you would have otherwise, the filler actually supports the skin while it’s there.
