Restylane® Silk FAQs
How much does Restylane® Silk cost in El Segundo?
The cost of your Restylane® Silk lip filler treatment will depend on the amount of product needed to achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Semel will create a personalized treatment plan for you during your consultation, and our team will provide exact pricing details at that time.
Who is a candidate for Restylane® Silk?
You may be a candidate for Restylane® Silk if you are over the age of 21 and want to enhance your lips without undergoing surgery. Candidates include patients seeking lip augmentation, reduction of fine lines around the mouth, and improvements in lip shape and proportions.
During your consultation, Dr. Semel will review your medical history, medications, allergies, and cosmetic goals to ensure this treatment is right for you. Treatment may need to be postponed if you have an active infection or inflammation near the injection sites.
Can Restylane® Silk treat vertical lip lines?
Yes. Restylane® Silk is FDA-approved to treat perioral rhytids, commonly called vertical lip lines, smoker’s lines, or lipstick lines. These fine lines become more noticeable over time as the skin ages.
What is the difference between Restylane® Silk and Restylane®?
Restylane® is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers with formulations intended for different treatment areas and concerns. Restylane® Silk is specifically FDA-approved for lip augmentation and minimizing perioral wrinkles. Dr. Semel can determine which filler is appropriate based on the area you want to treat and the type of correction needed.
Can Restylane® Silk improve my lip border without significantly enlarging my lips?
Yes, it can be used to refine the lip border rather than simply increasing the size of the lips. Whether this approach will accomplish what you want depends on your anatomy and the changes you are seeking.
What are the possible side effects of Restylane® Silk?
Patients may experience mild, temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. Dr. Semel will review all potential side effects with you and answer any questions you may have during your consultation.
When will I see my Restylane® Silk results?
You will notice improvements right away, though it may take a week or two for the product to fully settle.
