Restylane Filler In the San Francisco Bay Area
Are you noticing signs of aging on your face, such as wrinkles and creases? These result from the loss of subcutaneous fat in our facial tissues, which causes a loss of volume and firmness. If you are looking for a natural and fully biodegradable option to add volume to your cheeks, plump your lips, or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, Essential Aesthetics can help. Our Restylane filler injection treatments in Danville and the San Francisco Bay Area provide a non-invasive solution that can add volume, soften wrinkles, or fill contours. Schedule a consultation with our Advanced Aesthetic Injector to learn how we can recreate that youthful volume in your face and achieve a younger, refreshed look.
What is Restylane?
Restylane fillers are a type of synthetic dermal filler made of smooth gel-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in our skin that helps keep it hydrated and youthful-looking. However, as we age, our skin produces less HA, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. By injecting Restylane fillers, we can add volume to the skin, lift it up, and smooth out lines and wrinkles. All Restylane fillers are made using XpresHAn technology, which helps regulate the degree of crosslinking among HA molecules. This crosslinking helps extend the life of the filler by slowing down the natural breakdown of hyaluronic acid over time.
What areas can be treated with Restylane?
Cheeks/Midface
As we age, our cheeks can appear sunken due to loss of collagen, thinning of underlying fat, and decreasing bone volume. Restylane can be used to enhance and add volume to larger areas, such as the cheeks.
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Over time, the skin of our cheeks may sag and cause nasolabial folds, which can make the face look tired with wrinkles between the nose and mouth. Restylane is a treatment that can help lift the corners of the mouth or reduce the appearance of deep lines on the sides of the mouth.
Chin/Jawline
Enhance your jawline and create a stunning, well-defined profile with Restylane chin contouring.
Under-Eye
Restylane is an effective treatment for bags or dark circles under the eyes.
Lips
As we get older, our lips may start to lose their shape and develop small vertical lines around the mouth area, while the corners may begin to sag. Restylane can be used to improve the volume and definition of your lips, as well as to remove wrinkles and vertical lines around the lip area.
Hands
With age, the hands lose volume, making the veins, tendons, and bones more visible. Restylane can add volume to reduce the signs of aging hands.

How Long Does Restylane Last?
The length of time you can expect your Restylane results to last varies, depending on the area you have treated and the type of filler used. For instance, nasolabial fold or marionette line treatments may last 12–18 months, whereas treatment for the back of the hands may last about 6 months. Restylane Kysse has been clinically proven to last up to a year.
