Restylane, Restylane Lyft & Restylane Silk Fillers in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
Restylane products are clear, non-animal-derived hyaluronic acid gel fillers, similar to the hyaluronic acid naturally found in your skin. Injected in tiny amounts through a very fine needle, they restore volume, smooth wrinkles and folds, and enhance the lips with instant results that can last about a year or longer. At Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc., Restylane treatments are performed by our dermatology providers for refined, natural-looking results.
The Restylane Family of Fillers
- Restylane – corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and can contour the lips
- Restylane Lyft – a firmer gel that restores volume to the cheeks and midface, smooths deeper folds, and can rejuvenate the backs of the hands
- Restylane Silk – a smooth, fine gel designed for subtle lip enhancement and fine lines around the mouth
Where Can Restylane Be Used?
Restylane products are FDA-approved for mid- to deep-dermal injection to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines, furrows, and marionette lines. They can also be used to enhance cheekbones, fill under-eye hollows, define the jawline, and refill and contour the lips. Restylane Lyft can also restore volume to aging hands as part of hand rejuvenation.
How Is Restylane Different From Dysport?
Restylane is a filler that adds volume to fill wrinkles and furrows and enhance the lips. Dysport, in contrast, is a neuromodulator that relaxes the underlying muscles that cause frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, lip lines, chin dimpling, and neck bands. Many patients are pleased with the results of using both together.
Are Restylane Products Safe?
Yes. Restylane has been used safely by dermatologists worldwide since 1996. Because it is a non-animal-based, fully biocompatible product, allergy testing is not required. The most commonly reported side effects are temporary redness and swelling at the injection site that typically resolve within two to three days. We’ll review any other less common side effects with you before treatment.
Preparing for Treatment
No pretesting is required, but you should avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of vitamin E before treatment, as these can increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
Do the Injections Hurt?
Restylane products are pre-mixed with a small amount of lidocaine and injected in tiny amounts with a fine needle, so discomfort is minimal. A topical anesthetic can also be applied for added comfort. The procedure is simple and convenient, and results are practically instantaneous.

Restylane Silk for Lips and Fine Lines
Restylane Silk is formulated with smaller, smoother particles that make it ideal for adding subtle volume and definition to the lips and softening fine vertical lines around the mouth. The result is natural-looking enhancement that feels soft and moves naturally with your expressions.
