Frequently Asked Questions

Am I Suitable for Restylane Vital Treatment?

The practitioner will take a detailed medical history to ensure you have no conditions that might increase risk of unwanted side effects. Consultation is also important to discuss your expectations and whether or not this treatment is able to meet them.

How does Restylane Vital Treatment work?

Restylane Vital and Vital Light are injectable products, designed to treat a broad range of treatment areas including the face, neck, décolletage (the area between the neck and breasts) and hands; designed to replenish the hyaluronic acid lost through ageing, hence hydrating the skin and improving its elasticity, radiance and tone.

How long do Restylane Vital Treatment results last?

Results can last 6 months.

Is Restylane Vital Treatment safe?

Treatment with hyaluronic acid is safe, but not risk free, the clinician will discuss all the risks and benefits with you at consultation and again prior to treatment.

Does Restylane Vital Treatment hurt?

Anaesthetic cannot be used and is not necessary for this treatment.  The injections sting briefly, but patients generally report only a mild discomfort. After the treatment, you may experience some tenderness for the first 24-72 hours.

When should I schedule Restylane Vital Treatment?

Allow up to 60 minutes for your appointment.  This includes time for the anaesthetic cream to work, prior to the procedure. The treatment itself involves multiple tiny injections and runs a high risk of developing small bruises.

Improvement  can be seen from 4-8 weeks but you will gain on this initial result for a further 8-12 weeks.

Do not schedule any important events in the first 72 hours and be prepared for bruising which can take up to 14 days to resolve.

The treatment should be repeated 3 times, 4 weeks apart.

What is the Restylane Vital Treatment aftercare?

Most people can continue with normal activities. Most will have some redness, pin prick marks. Bruising is possible. You are unlikely to feel confident to undertake public facing duties or social events until the next day, when make-up can be used to mask any marks or bruising.

Any bruising may take a few days to appear, arnica can be helpful in clearing bruising.  It is advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol for 12-48 hours after treatment.

It may be possible to feel the product where it has been injected under the skin.  It will settle, there is no need to massage.

Make-up should not be worn for 12 hours.

You are advised to avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise for 48 hours.

Avoid sun bathing, and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days post treatment.

Tenderness should settle as swelling and bruising goes down.

How do I prepare for Restylane Vital Treatment?

All make up will need to be removed prior to treatment, so please come ‘fresh faced’ if possible.

Alcohol, aspirin, Ibuprofen and a range of dietary supplements including St. John’s Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins C and E may all contribute to bruising and are best avoided 24 hours before treatment.

Treatment cannot be administered if there is an active skin infection, including acne or cold sores or if you are unwell, including colds, coughs, sore throats etc. Do contact the clinic to discuss any illness or new medicines prior to attending.

You may have lots of questions, so why not book a consultation and get answers to your specific needs.
