Connecticut Restylane and Captique Injection

Restylane and Captique Injection Overview

Deep lines, like nasolabial folds and marionette lines don't have to be your signature facial feature anymore. When lines and wrinkles are so pronounced that they command attention of their own, it's time to consider cosmetic facial rejuvenation treatments like Restylane® or Captique™ at Imperial Plastic Surgery in Westport, Connecticut.

Restylane® is composed of NASHA gel, Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. Captique™ is Hyaluronic Acid derived from materials of bacterial origin and is FDA approved for cosmetic use. In our Westport offices, Connecticut plastic surgeon, Dr. Singer, injects Restylane® or Captique™ deep beneath the skin to fill in moderate to severe wrinkles, lines and folds.

Restylane® and Captique™ aren't just for women. Many men who want to reduce deep lines have found Restylane® and Captique™ treatments very effective. Because Restylane® and Captique™ provide a natual result,, men have been able to enhance their appearance without looking fake or "done."

Restylane® and Captique™ treatments take less than one hour, and with our office conveniently located between the 15 and 95 freeways in Westport, we can fit an appointment into any busy schedule.

Results from Restylane® and Captique™ can be seen immediately, and treatments generally last from 6 months to 1 year. Follow up treatments can be administered as necessary, but usually patients choose to return every 6 months.

Dr. Singer uses ultra-fine needles to inject the gel. More than one injection may be required for each line, fold or wrinkle. Restylane® and Captique™ injections are not painful, and a topical anesthetic cream can be used pre-treatment to numb the injection site. Swelling and redness can occur, but only in rare cases.

If you're planning on having Restylane® or Captique™ injections before a big event, such as a wedding, reunion, or office party, Dr. Singer suggests scheduling treatment a week to 10 days before the event for optimal results.

Restylane® and Captique™ are also compatible with [link] Botox® so you can combine treatments in our Westport offices. Dr. Singer recommends Restylane® and Captique™ for the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other wrinkles beneath the cheek line, and [link] Botox® injections for brow lines and laugh lines around the eyes for a complete facial rejuvenation.

Restylane® and Captique™ are completely biocompatible with human tissue. Since both are hypoallergenic they do not require pre-treatments or allergy tests. Captique™ is derived from bacterial sources, and it is important during your consultation to inform Dr. Singer if you have any allergies to bacteria.

Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally in the human body so there is no risk of the body rejecting Restylane® and Captique™ gel injections. In fact, Hyaluranic Acid is found naturally in our skin and gives our skin its elasticity. Water molecules bind with Hyaluranic Acid, and give skin a full, plump look. As we age, our skin loses Hyaluranic Acid and with it, the skin loses its firmness creating lines and wrinkles. Restylane® and Captique™ treatments can be thought of as replenishers of the body's natural skin volume.
