On the day of your treatment, your injector will cleanse the area before the treatment begins. Most Restylane products include lidocaine, a numbing agent that makes the injection more comfortable for you. Based on your aesthetic goals, your injector will determine how much Restylane is needed before using a very small needle to inject the product into the treatment areas. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and you’ll be able to return to work as soon as your session is over, making this an impressively convenient "lunch break" treatment. You can expect some minor swelling or bruising, which may be visible for up to a week, but this will be the extent of any recovery period, and you’ll otherwise be able to get back to your daily routine without missing a beat.
