Restylane Silkin New York City

Restylane Silk is an injectable filler that is ideal for treating wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Restylane is a hyaluronic facial filler that has a composition made up of small smooth particles which when injected around the lips create a soft natural result.
It is part of the normal aging process that our skin elasticity weakens resulting in thinner lips and deep wrinkles around the mouth but with Restylane Silk we can reverse part of the facial aging. Restylane and Restylane Silk both come from the same family of dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that can be naturally found in your body that functions to provide moisture and structure to your skin. When you are injected with either of their filler products, Dr. Kopelman is able to add volume to your face in areas where you might have lost definition.Restylane is great for acting as a lip filler, while Restylane Silk is ideal for addressing fine lines and softening wrinkles around your mouth.

Restylane Injections in NYC with Dr. Joel Kopelman

Dr. Kopelman has been injecting Restylane for over twenty years. If you search around it seems like anyone can perform these procedures with little training however Dr. Kopelman believes it requires years of experience to develop an aesthetic “eye” and the judgment to determine which products to use based upon each person’s unique features, how much product to inject,and where to inject. He does not delegate these decisions to anyone else. Before injecting a dermal filler, Dr. Kopelman makes an assessment of the overall structures of the entire face and neck including the skin, underlying soft tissue and bone structure. Dr. Kopelman customizes his treatment protocol by combining several different types of dermal fillers and Botox to achieve ideal results. At the conclusion of the treatment, you will not have an exaggerated appearance but instead you will look younger and more sensuous with natural appearing facial expression and movements. Dr. Kopelman’s outstanding reviews speak for themselves.

The unique viscosity, elasticity and the ability to attract water molecules make Restylane the ideal filler to add volume to your eyelids and lips.

Restylane Injection Procedure

Restylane injection results are usually immediate. You will be able to see volume improvements in your face after Dr. Kopelman completes the procedure with further enhancement over the next couple of days. During the session, Dr. Kopelman will make sure all make-up is removed and the skin will be sterilized with alcohol. Next topical lidocaine cream is applied to numb the area so that the procedure remains painless.
After fifteen minutes a small needle penetrates the skin followed by the passage of a blunt needle called a cannula. Little or no discomfort will you experience.These procedures can be performed in 30 minutes during a lunch break with no downtime. Dr. Kopelman utilizes special techniques to minimize bruising and swelling. Swelling is expected especially if cheek and lip augmentation is performed as the water particles of the particles of the filler are replaced by the natural collagen of your face. In most cases the swelling usually resolves within 48 hours but can last up to one week. You should expect that you will continue to see results from your Restylane NYC injections typically for the next 4 to 6 months.
