With age comes changes, some of which can be unwanted, including lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume in your cheeks and hands. Facial volume loss occurs for a number of reasons and at various levels, including the fascia (which is attended to by plastic surgery).
Moderate volume loss in the mid-face can be replenished by the judicious use of Restylane fillers. Each has its own profile of sorts and Restylane Lyft is appreciated for its density, making it an option for cheeks and other “not so mobile” areas.
Restylane®Lyft is one of the many fillers made by Galderma, a leading cosmetic dermatology company. Lyft is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural sugar found in the body that helps skin retain moisture. Aging decreases hyaluronic acid levels, which in turn causes the skin on your face and hands to wrinkle and lose volume.
When dermal fillers are injected into your tissues, more fluid will accumulate to help make instant improvements. The filler will also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two important proteins that help keep skin at its best. Collagen and elastin deposition will lead to longer-lasting fullness where the filler was placed.
Restylane Lyft is the first dermal filler available for use on the backs of your hands. If you notice loss of volume, this filler can restore hydration and increase the amount of collagen to help fill in what has been lost. No cream or lotion can do this, and Lyft lasts much longer than any hand cream.
Another way Restylane Lyft can help transform your face is by bringing fullness to your cheeks. Some women want more pronounced cheeks early in life, while others look to restore what is lost with aging. Lyft can work in either situation.
During manufacturer studies, participants who received Restylane® Lyft were asked how they felt the product performed. One of the most basic points was whether they felt their appearance improved; 96% felt they looked better after the treatment. An astonishing 100% agreed that the results looked natural, and 89% of the study subjects felt that they appeared less tired.
Patients report that the effects of Restylane Lyft last from six months to as long as twelve months. Plumped cheeks tend to last longer than decreased facial creases and wrinkles. When used on hands, Lyft will last approximately six months. Every patient’s result will be different, depending on how your body reacts to the dermal filler and whether it was placed in an area with a lot of movement or one that does not move as often.

Downtime is minimal as you can return to your usual activities immediately with only a few restrictions for the first 24 hours.
