Of the many injectable fillers offered at The Maas ClinicTM, Restylane® Lyft is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial folds of patients across the world.
It is also popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.
Restylane® Lyft is manufactured by Medicis the same company that manufacturers Restylane. Restylane® Lyft is primarily the same product as Restylane ® but Restylane® Lyft filler contains a larger concentration of hyaluronic acid. Because of this higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, Restylane® Lyft is usually used for larger folds, while Restylane® is better suited for smaller wrinkles or to maintain the results of a previous Restylane® Lyft injection.
Restylane® Lyft is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Restylane® Lyft contains no animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Restylane® Lyft filler.
The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® Lyft injections supplements the body’s natural supply, which becomes depleted with age. Restylane® Lyft is biodegradable so its effects are not permanent.
The results of a Restylane® Lyft filler treatment tend to last six months to a year. This is much longer than the typical results of collagen injections, which may only last three to six months.
The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® Lyft can be used to improve the contour of facial skin and to reduce wrinkles, folds, face scars, and other facial skin depressions.
