Have you recently given up smoking only to be reminded of your past bad habits by your smoker lines and other wrinkles around your mouth and lips? Restylane® can help to fill those lines and wrinkles and give you back a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Smoking is a dangerous habit and it is also one that can cause a lot of premature wrinkling and lines around the mouth, especially in the upper lip area. The team at ZO Skin Centre is here to help you leave this bad habit behind and erase the reminders of your smoking days. Don’t delay in scheduling a Restylane® treatment with our team in St. Petersburg, you will be glad you did!

No one wants a reminder of a bad habit you’ve given up

If you used to be a smoker, you likely have deeper concerns about your health and how this bad habit has affected your body as well as your face. With a Restylane® injection you can remove the cosmetic reminders of this old habit and move forward with a much cleaner and healthier lifestyle. Smoking is terrible for your health, and once you have quit, or have made the decision to leave this habit behind you, the last thing you want is a constant reminder of your previous actions. Restylane® is an effective and non-allergenic dermal filler that can plump up mild to moderate lines and wrinkles and smooth out the area around your mouth.

How long does it take to notice the results from a Restylane® treatment?

One of the best things about Restylane® is that it provides nearly immediate results. Your treatment session will last around 20 minutes and you will notice a plumper appearance right away in the treated areas. The fine lines above the upper lip are often the target of many former smokers’ dismay, and luckily they will be gone before you know it! The treatment lasts about 18 months depending on the depth of your lines and wrinkles, and the type of appearance you want to obtain. If necessary, you can also receive “top up” injections between your appointments in order to maintain the look you want.

Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid filler that is effective in diminishing facial wrinkles, melomental (lines from the corner of the mouth to the lateral chin) and nasolabial (lines from the nose to the mouth) folds. The injectable achieves this by working on the facial volume and contours. Our well-established clinic can provide you with the best Restylane® treatment to regain your youth.

How Restylane® Treatment Works

During the treatment, our injector inserts the Restylane® gel under the skin. Once injected, the gel stimulates the creation of new collagen, the protein that keeps the skin firm and supple, therefore contributing to the reduction of wrinkles and folds. One feels the effect immediately after the procedure. You shall be able to see the final result of the treatment in the days and weeks following the treatment.

Who Needs Restylane® Treatment?

Ideal patients are persons above 21 years of age. However, since other medical conditions like pregnancy and breastfeeding may interfere with this treatment, it is crucial that you seek a consultation first. Booking an appointment at our office and discussing the right formulation and dosage for your skin can quickly put to rest any existing or arising concerns.

Is Restylane® Safe?

Restylane® has the trial, testing and approval of the FDA as a natural cosmetic dermal filler. Its ingredients are bio-degradable and are not sourced from an animal. Therefore, you are safe from any allergic reactions associated with animal-based products. The treatment is very adjustable, meaning more or less of the treatment can be applied to get the desired look. Before the treatment, talk to our expert and raise all your concerns about the procedure. Let our team know what medication you are currently taking as well.
