Restylane®
Lyft™
Natural-looking volume and definition for your cheeks.
Restylane Lyft is approved by the FDA for cheek augmentation and the correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies. This is in addition to treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).
What is Restylane Lyft?
Over time, the natural fat that surrounds the cheeks begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles and a reduction of volume. Restylane Lyft, formerly known as Perlane-L®, is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face. Through nonsurgical injections, Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to add fullness to the cheeks and midface area, which can result in a more natural-looking, youthful appearance.
How Does It Work?
Lift sagging cheeks with ease.
Restylane Lyft is designed for more pronounced facial folds and cheek and mid face volume restoration. The gel is injected into the deep dermis to add volume to help restore surface contour to approximate a younger-aged appearance.
Restylane Lyft corrections maintain volume augmentation for about six to nine months before natural product degradation begins to lessen the effect.
Restylane fillers have been available since 2003 and have proven to be reliable, predictable and affordable. The addition of Lidocaine in the filler makes its treatment easily tolerated for deep dermal filling that is needed to lift sagging cheeks, jowls and mid-face areas. As well obtaining FDA-approval for the cheek areas, the ease of injecting Restylane and its predictability, make it a great option for facial volumizing.

Are Botox injections safe?BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved and injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced injector. It has proven to be a successful and valuable therapeutic protein when dosage, frequency of treatment & variety of treated clinical conditions are considered. The best way to ensure you receive the results you are looking for is to only receive injections from a highly experienced provider, such as the medical and nursing professionals at Ideal Image.

When will I see results from my Botox injections?You shouldn’t expect immediate results from Botox injections. It usually takes between 2-14 days for the injection to take effect. Some people claim to see an immediate change but this is very unlikely and may be just wishful thinking. Your facial muscle may be particularly strong in the area treated and it may take longer to see and feel the effect. If you have very deep lines where Botox is injected then the injection is unlikely to cause the deeper lines to flatten out completely to start with – especially if you are older when you start Botox.

How long does Botox last?For most of our patients, the effects of the treatment can last anywhere from 3-6 months. Many factors can influence how long the effects last. As the product wears off, muscle action returns gradually, and the previously treated lines & wrinkles may begin to reappear, and need to be treated again. With repeated treatment, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe than before, as the muscles are being trained to relax. Some of these factors that may shorten or lengthen the effects include: - Your age - The condition of your skin and level of sun damage - Your facial structure and expressions - Your diet - Past experience with Botox of other wrinkle relaxers - And more...
