Frequently Asked Questions
How Should I Prepare For a Restylane Lyft Appointment?
Before treatment, tell your provider about your medications, supplements, allergies, medical conditions, and previous injectables. Certain medications and supplements that affect bleeding, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners, can potentially increase bruising or bleeding. Do not stop prescription medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician. You may also be advised to avoid alcohol before your appointment.
What Happens During a Restylane Lyft Treatment?
Your injector will first evaluate your facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals to determine where to place Restylane Lyft. The treatment area is cleansed, and small amounts of filler are injected into the planned locations to add volume or improve contours. Restylane Lyft contains lidocaine, which helps make the process more comfortable.
How Long Does a Restylane Lyft Treatment Take?
The length of your appointment depends on the areas being addressed and the amount of filler needed. Restylane treatments themselves typically take less than an hour, although the entire appointment may be longer to allow time for evaluation, planning, and preparation. Your injector develops the plan based on your anatomy and cosmetic goals.
Does Restylane Lyft Hurt?
You may feel brief pinching, pressure, or tenderness during the injections, but Restylane Lyft contains lidocaine to help reduce discomfort during treatment. Providers might also use additional comfort measures, such as topical numbing medication or cold compresses, when appropriate. Your experience can vary depending on the area addressed, number of injections, and individual sensitivity.

Common side effects of Restylane Lyft include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, pain, bruising, itching, headache, and small lumps or bumps at the injection site.
