Dr. Amanda Lloyd explains the results of Restylane Silk at Skin & Vein Institute

How long do the results last?

Six to nine months, maybe longer depending on the patient. However, the Restylane Silk stimulates the body to make its own collagen so the lines are improved over the long-term.

How safe and effective is Restylane Silk?

Restylane Silk is extremely safe and very effective. It’s safe due to:

• Being a very thin filler.
• Being placed high in the skin and not near any blood vessels or nerves.
• It has an eraser.

It’s made of hyaluronic acid and like all products containing this acid, it has hyaluronidase which can dissolve it, if you don’t like how it looks.

Can Restylane Silk be used in areas other than the lips?

Restylane Silk is great for vertical lip lines, but it’s effective in other areas too like the etched lines on the cheeks, sleep lines, horizontal neck lines, and vertical chest lines. It’s your treatment of choice if there are any superficial lines on your skin that are bothering you that are due to volume loss.
