Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Restylane - Lyft.

Restylane - Lyft is a firm hyaluronic acid gel injected into deeper tissues to replace lost volume, lift cheeks, and fill folds. It attracts water and provides structural support, immediately improving contour with results developing over days and lasting up to 12–24 months.

Yes. Restylane - Lyft is FDA-approved for cheeks, nasolabial folds, and hands. Performed by our licensed injector, treatments follow strict safety protocols and screening to minimize risks such as bruising or swelling. Rare complications are managed promptly.

Most patients experience improvement for 12 to 24 months, depending on treatment area, injection technique, and individual metabolism. Cheeks and deeper areas often last longer; hands may require maintenance earlier. We recommend follow-up assessments to determine optimal touch-up timing.

During a session you'll receive a consultation, marking, and targeted injections with topical or local anesthesia for comfort. Treatments take 30–60 minutes depending on areas treated. Mild swelling or bruising may occur; we provide aftercare instructions and follow-up scheduling.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites, usually resolving within days to two weeks. Most patients resume normal activities immediately; avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat for 24–48 hours to reduce complications and swelling.

Individuals with active skin infections, certain autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or known allergy to hyaluronic acid or filler components should avoid treatment. A thorough consultation and medical history at Lotus Skin Care Center determine candidacy and safe alternatives when appropriate.
