What Is Restylane Silk?
Restylane Silk is the first and only FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment specifically designed to plump the lips and fill fine lines around the mouth. Silk is made from a unique gel formulation of hyaluronic acid (the same naturally occurring sugar that helps create full and supple skin), which allows for a smooth and subtle result.
How Does Restylane Silk Work?
A trained physician will inject Restylane Silk into the lips and in the lines around the mouth using an ultrafine needle. The amount used per treatment should be limited to 1.5mL per lip for augmentation, and 1.0mL for correcting fine lines around the mouth. Using more than this could increase the risk of negative reactions at the injection site, such as swelling and bruising.
What Results Can I Expect From Restylane Silk?
In a clinical trial, 98% of participants reported a visible increase in fullness two weeks after treatment. Because of the gel’s small, smooth particles, as well as the ultrafine needle designed for precision, results should appear more subtle than with other forms of lip augmentation like implants. You should expect natural looking results, with refined volume and definition. In general, those who use Restylane Silk can expect their results last roughly six months.
