Subtle Volume, Real Confidence

Fine lines. Hollowed eyes. Thinning lips. These are all part of how our faces change over time, but they don’t have to define how you look or feel. At StarkMD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center in Philadelphia, Restylane offers a precise, natural-looking way to restore volume, smooth vertical lip lines and deep laugh lines, and bring soft structure back to the face. Performed by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ran Stark, Restylane injections deliver noticeable improvements without surgery, downtime, or a change to your natural facial expressions.

What Is Restylane?

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used to treat volume loss, facial wrinkles, and folds. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces that helps retain moisture and elasticity in the skin. The Restylane line includes multiple FDA-approved injectable fillers tailored for specific areas, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. At StarkMD, we offer the full range of Restylane injectable gel products, including:

  • Restylane-L for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
  • Restylane Silk for smoothing vertical lip lines and subtle lip volume
  • Restylane Lyft to restore lost cheek volume and enhance the hands
  • Restylane Refyne for moderate laugh lines and folds requiring flexibility
  • Restylane Defyne for deeper lines and more dynamic movement areas
  • Restylane Contour for natural-looking cheek augmentation
  • Restylane Kysse for enhancing natural lip volume and definition
  • Restylane Eyelight to address tired, shadowed under-eyes

Each product is injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften lines, and preserve natural expressions.

What Are the Benefits of Restylane?

These fillers are formulated to move with your face, so you keep your natural expressions while gaining structure and balance. Benefits include:

  • Smooths nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Adds volume to lips, cheeks, and under the eyes
  • Refines jawline and contours the midface
  • Fills vertical lip lines without stiffness
  • Restores lost facial volume from weight loss or aging
  • Improves symmetry and definition
  • Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
  • Safe, reversible, and FDA-approved

Am I a
Good Candidate?

Restylane is suited for a wide range of adults looking to treat wrinkles, folds, or volume loss without plastic surgery. Ideal candidates often experience:

  • Moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
  • Volume loss in cheeks, lips, or tear troughs
  • Smile lines or deep facial creases
  • Hollowed under-eyes or thinning lips
  • A desire for natural-looking results with little downtime

You should be in overall good health, not pregnant or nursing, and have realistic expectations about what filler can do.

The Procedure: What to Expect

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your goals. Once we’ve mapped out a treatment plan, your appointment includes:

  1. Skin prep: Cleansing and disinfecting the treatment area
  2. Numbing: Topical cream or built-in lidocaine in the filler
  3. Injection: Strategic placement using a needle or cannula
  4. Sculpting: Gentle massage to distribute the filler evenly
  5. Aftercare instructions: Specific guidance to support optimal healing

The process usually takes 30–45 minutes. Most patients experience little discomfort and no downtime.

Restylane Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery is straightforward. Mild swelling, tenderness, and bruising are common but temporary. Tips for a smoother healing process:

  • Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
  • Skip alcohol and NSAIDs around the time of injection
  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
  • Avoid facials and dental procedures for two weeks

Results develop over the next few days and continue to settle naturally.
