Restylane® in Scarsdale, NY
Jump To
Facial lines and volume loss can become more noticeable with age, changing the way your features look at rest. At Westchester Center for Dermatology, a practice led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. David Kriegel, our experienced cosmetic team offers Restylane® treatment in Scarsdale, NY, to restore facial volume, soften wrinkles, and create natural-looking results without surgery.
What Is Restylane?
Restylane is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers used to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your skin that attracts moisture, helping maintain hydration and fullness while supporting soft, natural-looking results.
Unlike many cosmetic injectables, Restylane is available in different formulations designed for specific treatment areas. During your consultation, our provider will recommend the option that best matches your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and the areas you would like to improve.

What can Restylane treat?
Restylane is commonly used for facial volume restoration and improving age-related changes that develop over time. Depending on your concerns, treatment may help soften smile lines, improve facial contours, restore volume in areas that appear hollow, or enhance the lips while maintaining natural facial balance.
Because every face ages differently, treatment is personalized rather than based on a standard amount of filler. Our provider will recommend an approach that complements your existing features instead of changing them.
Ideal Candidate for Restylane Fillers
An ideal candidate for Restylane fillers wants smoother skin or fuller facial contours without surgery. Many patients choose Restylane fillers for smile lines because hyaluronic acid supports hydration and natural volume. You can also view treatment results in our before-and-after gallery.
Healthy adults with mild to moderate folds or volume loss usually respond well to Restylane. We will review your goals before recommending treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and evaluate the areas you would like to improve. Our provider will assess your facial anatomy, facial movement, and skin quality before recommending a personalized Restylane treatment plan.
Before the injections, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort. Many Restylane formulations also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps reduce discomfort during treatment. Depending on the treatment area, our provider may use a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula to place the filler beneath the skin with precision while helping minimize unnecessary tissue trauma.
Restylane is carefully injected in small amounts and gradually shaped to restore volume, soften facial folds, or enhance natural contours. Throughout the procedure, your provider may gently massage the treated areas and evaluate your facial symmetry from multiple angles to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. Additional filler is only used when needed to reach your goals.
Most appointments take less than an hour. You will notice an improvement immediately after treatment, although mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites is common and typically resolves within several days. Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly afterward, though you’ll be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling.
Results and Maintenance
Results are visible immediately after treatment, although the final appearance becomes easier to appreciate once any temporary swelling has improved. Because Restylane attracts and holds moisture within the skin, treated areas often appear smoother and fuller while preserving natural facial movement.
Most patients enjoy their results for 6-12 months, although longevity varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of filler used, and how quickly your body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid. Maintenance treatments can help preserve your results and continue the benefits of this non-surgical facial rejuvenation option over time.

Restylane can address several signs of facial aging while maintaining natural-looking results. Benefits may include:

- Softens moderate facial folds and wrinkles
- Enhances facial contours while maintaining natural-looking movement
