How Long do Results Last?
Restylane Silk filler usually lasts from 6-9 months. The subdermal layers of your mouth and lips will begin to go back to their pre-injected volume after around this period. When small fine lines re-appear, it’s a good time to top off your treatment again for a refreshed look. The length of time it takes for your effects to fade completely is determined by a number of factors, including your food intake and lifestyle. Exposure to warm settings, high levels of activity, and higher amounts of talking or moving the lips around can expedite the breakdown of fillers.

Is Restylane Silk Reversible?
Restylane Silk, as one of the most popular lip fillers is also made of hyaluronic acids. These molecules are completely and instantly reversible by injecting a reversal agent called hyaluronidase (name brands Hylenex and Vitrase).
Hyaluronic acid filler molecules are held together by cross-linking. Some fillers have more molecules which makes them last longer, and others have fewer. Fewer molecules in the filler result in faster dissolving. Regardless of the amount of crosslinking, hyaluronidase can be injected to break them down instantly for the body to discard them.
Some fillers only need one session of reversal agent, while other products may need two or three sessions to dissolve completely. If you have experienced migration of your fillers or are unhappy with your filler results and are looking for help, The Cosmetic Injectables Center might the the perfect choice for you. Our experienced providers at Cosmetic Injectables Center in Sherman Oaks, California are experts at the removal and reshaping of misplaced fillers.
