What Is Restylane® Silk?

Restylane® Silk is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler specifically designed for lip enhancement. It is FDA-approved for lip augmentation and reducing perioral rhytids (fine lines around the mouth) in patients over the age of 21. Its smooth gel consistency allows for controlled, precise placement in this delicate area.

What Can Restylane® Silk Treat?

Dr. Semel may use Restylane® Silk to:

\Add volume to thin or aging lips
\Improve definition along the lip border
\Refine lip shape
\Address lip asymmetry
\Smooth vertical lines above and around the lips

Why Choose Dr. Semel for Restylane® Silk in El Segundo?

Dr. Jane Semel is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist with advanced training and experience in aesthetic injectable treatments. Her understanding of facial anatomy guides her thoughtful, conservative approach to treating the lips.

Dr. Semel focuses on facial balance and aesthetic proportions rather than creating a predetermined lip shape. She adjusts the placement and amount of filler based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

What Happens During Treatment?

Dr. Semel performs Restylane® Silk lip filler treatments in our El Segundo office. After she determines the best injection sites for your needs, she will administer the injections with a fine needle or cannula. Restylane® Silk contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to help reduce discomfort.

Restylane® Silk Recovery and Results

Little to no downtime is needed after Restylane® Silk injections, though you’ll want to refrain from vigorous exercise, exposure to heat, and puckering your lips for 24-48 hours. Dr. Semel will give you personalized aftercare instructions before you leave the office.
Restylane® Silk results are temporary, typically lasting about six months. Factors that may affect the longevity of your results include the area treated and how your body metabolizes the filler. Dr. Semel can advise you on a retreatment schedule for maintaining your preferred look.

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.

  I was experiencing serious eye infection & I was able to get in to see Dr. SEMEL very quickly.  She diagnosed & prescribed meds, which are very quickly healing my eye.  The location has plenty of easy parking & the offices are very clean & well designed.  Pleasant staff also.

I had another appointment, different date with Dr. Julia Larson, OD, to check in on my MGD condition, and all was well, & the recommendations from the doctor had helped improve my situation.  She takes her time & is very through with the exam, while explaining in detail what condition I have.

She is very upbeat and a pleasure to have as my eye doctor.

  I usually receive compliments from people after I get Juvederm injections from Dr. Semel. The injections give my face a radiant and youthful look. Dr Semel has years of experience and education in applying Botox, Juvederm, and Voluma and her work always looks natural. I trust the quality of Dr. Semel’s work and always have confidence in what to expect from her.

I recently tried a new product from Dr. Jane Semel called SkinPen. One thing I really like about
Dr. Semel is that she always stays on top of new facial and neck products for women. SkinPen is the latest in technology to help the neck and face. It’s not an injection. Before the treatment, my face was gently cleansed. Then Dr. Semel used what looks like a pen and runs it over my neck and every area of my face which feels like a slight stinging that does not hurt. This treatment lasts about 30 minutes. It promotes a healing process of collagen and elastin that continues for months afterwards. My neck and face already look more youthful, softer and natural.

  Dr. Semel was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The staff was friendly, and I felt listened to throughout my visits for bilateral cataract eye surgeries. I would highly recommend this practice, if you want excellent medical care.
