Are Filler Injections Painful?
With good injection technique coupled with application of skin cooling with icepacks, the discomfort is minimal and feels like small ant bites.
Furthermore, all Restylane Fillers contain a numbing ingredient (lidocaine) which further reduces pain during the treatment.
How Long Do Restylane Fillers Last For?
On average, Restylane Fillers can last between 12 to 18 months, sometimes even longer, depending on the area and volume of filler injected.
For example, areas with high mobility such as lips may have lower longevity than areas with lesser movement such as the cheeks or jawline.
