The effect is very natural, leaving your skin feeling firmer but soft to touch. Restylane SubQ is suitable for a wide range of patients seeking to improve their facial shape and definition with cheek enhancement without resorting to surgery or having permanent implants.

Restylane SubQ also has the advantages of having long lasting results, in excess of a year, and being a non-permanent treatment. The gel in Restylane SubQ biodegrades naturally and safely over time. As with all injectable treatments, some localised bruising and swelling can occur after treatment with Restylane SubQ. These side effects are temporary and usually disappear after 48 hours.
