Restylane® Lyft is a safe, effective, and dis-solvable Hyaluronic Acid filler specifically designed to create structure in the cheek area or add fullness in the backs of the hands by replenishing lost volume for a more youthful-looking appearance. These fillers products may also be injected, using an ultra-fine needle under the skin to address volume deficiency in the back of the hand.

• When studied in a clinical setting, the average volume used for cheek augmentation was 3 mL total (3 syringes) at initial treatment, or roughly 1.5 mL per cheek. The average amount used in a study using Restylane® Contour to restore mid-face volume loss was 3.8 mL, or 1.9 syringes per side.

Contraindications:

1. Restylane® Lyft is contraindicated for patients with:

   • severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies.
   • trace amounts of gram positive bacterial proteins, and is contraindicated for patients with a history of allergies to such material.
   • bleeding disorders.

After-care:

Consider the following after treatment:

• Cold compresses (a cloth dipped in cold water, wrung out, and applied to the injected area) may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling.
• Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours following treatment so you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. After that, the area can be gently washed with soap and water.
• Avoid exposure of the treated area to intense heat (sun lamp or sun bathing) until there is no redness or swelling.
• If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another occurrence. Speak to your physician about medicine to prevent this from happening again.
• Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of vitamin E supplements for 1 week after treatment. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the gel injection site.
• After receiving treatment in the hands, avoid strenuous use of your hands as it may increase the risk for delayed onset adverse events.
