How does Restylane restore the volume and appearance of skin?

Youthful skin retains its volume, strength, elasticity, and texture because of a skin nutrient called hyaluronic acid. It is a sticky substance that is naturally found in the skin, connective tissue, and eyes. This substance can hold water up to 3,000 times its own weight. Daily external injury caused by excessive ultraviolet rays or pollutants, along with the process of aging, depletes the skin of hyaluronic acid, leading to folds, wrinkles, and fine lines. Restylane is an FDA-approved family of dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid as the active component. The biodegradable and non-animal derived ingredient is in the form of a crystal clear, smooth gel that disperses once injected beneath the skin. By retaining moisture, hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin’s volume and maintains its elasticity, resilience, and strength. It is recommended scheduling any injectables at least two weeks or more prior to any big event or occasion.

What's the procedure look like?

These are the steps followed for Restylane treatment: Dr. Gordon precisely selects the injection sites in all areas to be treated An antiseptic product is then applied to the area to mitigate the risk of infection Dr. Gordon determines the exact amount of Restylane required to achieve the expected aesthetic results Dr. Gordon injects Restylane beneath the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane enters the deeper skin layers and hydrates the surface of the skin to restore volume.

What are the results and recovery?

Our patients notice an improvement in skin volume immediately after the dermal filler in Southlake. However, the full extent of the improvement can be noticed over the next couple of weeks as hyaluronic acid boosts volume and texture. The intense focus at our top-rated medical spa is on minimizing discomfort, pain, or other side effects. Any minor redness or tenderness usually disappears after 2-3 days. You will be able to return to work following the procedure. All cosmetic treatments, including Restylane, are performed or directly overseen by Dr. Gordon. We use the most advanced technology and techniques while combining synergistic therapies like microneedling, laser treatments, and other cosmetic procedures to optimize results. At Renew MD Facial Aesthetics, you can be sure of receiving the most unbiased, professional, and evidence-based guidance at all times. As a board-certified physician and surgeon, Dr. Gordon personally performs all cosmetic treatments. She prescribes a personalized treatment with Restylane injections based on her assessment as well as your beauty goals and expectations.

Restylane hyaluronic acid gel

The process of aging brings unwanted side effects such as fine lines, wrinkles, folds, jowls, and creases. Excess exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, smoking, or pollutants can accelerate the process, leading to the premature appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Dr. Alexis Gordon, our staff’s medical director and physician, is passionate and committed to achieving high-quality aesthetic results with minimally invasive procedures. One of her key specialties lies in the use of Restylane, a family of dermal fillers, to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, folds, and creases. We arguably provide the best treatments of dermal fillers in Southlake.

What to expect

When you visit our sophisticated medical spa in Southlake, Texas, Dr. Gordon evaluates your medical, allergy, and medication history thoroughly. She examines your skin and the extent of aesthetic modifications needed while determining your candidacy for dermal fillers, in particular, Restylane.

Went and saw Dr. Gordon to get Botox for my excessive armpit sweating. One visit, completely numb, and I have not sweat a single drop from my armpits since. I can finally wear whatever shirts I want without fear of sweating completely through a shirt!! Dr. Gordon has the best bedside manner and I would recommend Renew MD for any injectable/non-invasive/minimally invasive procedure!

I can’t say enough good things about Renew MD, Dr. Gordon, and her team. Starting my skin journey there was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Gordon and everyone there makes you feel right at home and makes the whole experience from start to finish enjoyable. I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin than since I started the Aerolase laser and microneedling here. I finally leave the house without makeup and I do it proudly now! The best part is that the laser facial has absolutely zero down time and works better than anything I’ve ever tried in the past (including the awful CO2 laser) Their injectors are phenomenal too. Dr. Gordon herself and Isabel, her Nurse Practitioner, are the best most highly trained injectors. I’m so thankful for Dr. Gordon and her team for helping me along the way and making my skin glow, along with my confidence! Can’t recommend this med spa enough!

This review is long overdue. Although my time spent with Renew was relatively short (coming in between pregnancies and before a cross county move) it was the best experience I've ever had when it comes to the health and beauty industry. I sometimes find when you go somewhere with a lot of money floating around people can be rude and stuck up. This couldn't be further from the truth at Renew. My experience with Dr. Gordon and Briley was so refreshing. They seemed to genuinely care about me reaching my aesthetic goals and Dr. Gordon was even honest when I was about to get filler and she didn't think I should do it. Today, a year later, I am still seeing the benefits of the subcision she did on my chin. I am so sad that I moved away from Texas because my experience at other med spas here in Georgia have not been nearly as enjoyable (or had even close to as good of results) as Renew. I miss this place and can't recommend enough.

I have been a customer of Renew MD for 6+ years and they are terrific. I have done facial filler numerous times as well as Xeomin (similar to Botox) treatments. Dr Gordon and her team have kept me looking younger with very natural effects, which was my goal. The team at Renew are friendly, well trained and all my experiences have been extremely positive. It was also important to me to use a facility that has a MD doctor supervising everything. Prior to discovering Dr Gordon, I had used a couple of spas that did not have a medical doctor and I was not pleased. Dr Gordon is continually pursuing and educating her team with the latest and greatest treatments, which I think is very important. My husband has also done some hydrafacial treatments and they definitely made a difference. I highly recommend Renew MD to anyone wanting to look their best!

The Restylane family

Dr. Gordon is trained and well-versed in administering the Restylane family of dermal fillers at our high-end medical spa. This ensures our patients experience minimal downtime with dermal filler in Southlake.

Each product in the Restylane family is designed to treat a specific area:

Restylane and Restylane-L

These dermal fillers address moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in the facial tissue. Restylane and Restylane-L injections can also be used to achieve lip augmentation.

Restylane Refyne

Restylane Refyne helps correct moderate to severe folds such as nasolabial folds, wrinkles, and deep smile lines. Restylane Refyne offers a lifting effect and contains a local anesthetic that minimizes pain and discomfort.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft features larger particles of hyaluronic acid gel that facilitate the filler to hold shape and provide a deep lift to nasolabial folds, laugh lines, and hollow cheeks. The denser formulation of Restylane Lyft makes it perfect for restoring mid-face volume. With fewer injections, the dermal filler in Southlake replenishes lost hydration and volume and provides a natural, youthful contour to cheeks and face.

Restylane Defyne

Restylane Defyne is used skillfully at our practice to plump up deep-set lines and replace lost volume effectively minimize the appearance of nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and deep wrinkles. Defyne features lidocaine, a local anesthetic, for enhanced comfort.

Restylane Silk and Kysse

With a combination of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine, Restylane Silk adds fullness to lips and erases lines around the lips and mouth. Restylane Kysse is also approved for lip augmentation and for addressing upper perioral wrinkles.
