Restylane®
What You Need To Know About Restylane®
Restylane® is an injectable filler made of Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the body that attracts and binds water molecules, creating volume beneath the dermis. When Restylane® is injected into the body, the results add content and restore the skin, in turn smoothing out any contour lines and creating a more youthful appearance.
Restylane® is available at all four LightTouch Med Spa locations: in Markham, Mississauga, Oakville, Waterloo, and Milton. Our clients have been receiving Restylane® treatments from our Nurse Practitioners for many years, and they have full confidence knowing that our Practitioners have years of experience and training and participate in ongoing education.

Before Treatment
During a complimentary consultation, our Nurse will review your chart with you and confirm your skincare and beauty goals. Then, she will discuss the risks associated with this type of treatment, as stated on your consent forms, and you then have the opportunity to discuss any further concerns you may have. Our Nurse will help you determine whether this is an appropriate treatment for you according to your health background and skincare goals.
During Treatment
Our Nurse will cleanse the injection site and offer you a numbing agent to reduce any discomfort you may otherwise experience. Mild discomfort may be experienced, but overall it is not a painful process. (The sensation is comparable to receiving the flu shot). The required number of Restylane® units for your individual treatment will be administered through a cannula needle into the injection site. Our Nurse will then smooth out the Restylane® once it has been injected below the dermis, to ensure that it has been properly placed into the correct areas.
After Treatment
After the treatment is concluded, you may experience slight tenderness, temporary redness, swelling, and in 10 percent of cases, slight bruising. These symptoms are usually mild, and ice packs help to relieve swelling and discomfort. Our Nurse offers complimentary follow-up appointments so that you can discuss your results to ensure your satisfaction.

Our Nurse Injectors use Cannula needles to administer Restylane® in order to minimize bruising and swelling after treatment. Cannula needles are preferred over sharp tipped needles, as often, sharp tipped needles result in more discomfort during treatments and bruising after treatment.
Can I receive dermal fillers if I am having other treatments done?
Some treatments are contraindications to dermal filler treatments. Depending on the nature of other treatments you are receiving, we may not recommend Restylane® or other dermal fillers at this time.
