What is Restylane?
Dr. Adam Bodian offers a wide range of dermal filler products to help correct aging in the face, addressing wrinkles, lines, and lost volume. Restylane is a popular brand of injectable dermal fillers because it treats many issues with specialized formulas for results that last. It is made with a synthetic version of the body's natural hyaluronic acid (HA), giving the skin a natural, softer appearance that is more supple and full. A personal dermal filler plan can correct mild, moderate, or severe facial lines and wrinkles, and also add volume to the lips and mid-face. Bodian Dermatology carries several Restylane injectables, including:
- Restylane: Fills in facial wrinkles and folds
- Restylane Defyne: Corrects deep smile and laugh wrinkles
- Restylane Lyft: Creates volume and lift in the mid-face
- Restylane Refyne: Corrects light to moderate smile and laugh wrinkles
- Restylane Silk: Adds fullness in the lips and corrects vertical lines on the lips
We invite you to schedule an appointment for Restylane injections at our Great Neck, NY facility.

How Does Restylane Work?
Restylane dermal injections are performed in the treatment room at Bodian Dermatology. A numbing cream can be applied for increased comfort if requested. The product is injected into your skin through a fine-gauge needle and gently massaged so it fills the needed areas. Multiple injections will be needed, followed by a cold, gentle compress to reduce swelling. Each Restylane product is injected the same way but on different areas of the face targeted according to your unique concerns and cosmetic goals.
What to Expect After Restylane
Once your Restylane procedure is done, you may resume your day. Your recovery period will depend on what you are having treated so talk to your injector about what to expect. The treated areas may be slightly swollen and red, but this typically fades away within a day. Bruising may appear, but this can usually be concealed with cosmetics. It is recommended that you avoid exercise for a day, and you should sleep upright for the first night. Many patients will experience some improvements right after treatment, but it usually takes 1 – 2 weeks before the final results appear. Restylane injection treatments generally last up to one year based on the formula used.
