Restylane Dermal Filler in Harrison, NY
You catch your reflection and notice the volume is gone — lips thinner than they were five years ago, cheeks slightly flatter, lines around your mouth deepening with every smile.
These are the quiet signs that hyaluronic acid levels in your skin have declined.
Dr. Marc L. Epstein offers Restylane dermal filler injections at his Harrison, New York practice to restore that lost volume with subtle, natural-looking results.
Every injection is physician-performed, guided by three decades of medical precision and an artistic eye for facial proportion.
About the Treatment
What Is Restylane?
Hyaluronic Acid Filler Definition
Restylane is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that restores facial volume by injecting a clear, biocompatible gel beneath the skin surface.
The stabilized hyaluronic acid molecules attract water to the injection site, creating smooth, natural-looking volume that typically lasts six months to one year or longer.
How Restylane Works
The human body naturally produces hyaluronic acid — a sugar molecule that binds water and keeps skin plump. By age 35, that natural production slows.
Restylane supplements what the body no longer makes on its own.
Dr. Epstein injects Restylane gel into targeted facial areas using fine needles. The gel integrates with existing tissue and draws moisture to the injection site, restoring volume gradually rather than creating an overfilled appearance.
Why Patients Choose Restylane
Restylane earned FDA approval in 2003 — the first hyaluronic acid filler approved in the United States. That two-decade track record gives patients and physicians confidence in its safety profile.
Because Restylane uses non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, no allergy pre-testing is required before treatment.
Dr. Marc L. Epstein MD Aesthetic Medicine & Cosmetic Injections can often perform your first Restylane treatment on the same day as your consultation.
Treatment Areas
Restylane Treatment Areas
Lip Enhancement
Restylane's firmer gel consistency makes it particularly effective for lip augmentation. Dr. Epstein uses precise placement to add volume and define lip borders without the overfilled look that concerns many patients.
Nasolabial Folds
The lines running from nose to mouth deepen as midface volume declines. Restylane fills these nasolabial folds directly, softening the crease while maintaining natural facial movement.
Cheek and Chin Contouring
Volume loss in the cheeks creates a hollow, tired appearance. Dr. Epstein places Restylane along the cheekbone and chin to restore facial contour and lift sagging tissue above.
Chin augmentation with Restylane strengthens the jawline profile without surgery. The filler adds subtle projection that balances facial proportions.
Forehead Lines and Earlobes
Restylane smooths horizontal forehead lines that Botox alone cannot fully address. The filler works alongside neurotoxins — Botox relaxes the muscle, Restylane fills the remaining crease.
Earlobes thin and elongate with age, especially after years of wearing heavy earrings. Dr. Marc L. Epstein MD Aesthetic Medicine & Cosmetic Injections uses Restylane to restore earlobe volume so jewelry sits properly again.
Your Visit
What to Expect During Restylane Treatment
Before Your Session
Dr. Epstein begins with a comprehensive consultation. He evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and identifies which areas will benefit most from Restylane filler placement.
During the Procedure
Restylane injection sessions take a few minutes to 30 minutes depending on how many areas are treated. Dr. Epstein uses a gentle, precise technique to minimize discomfort during placement.
Results appear immediately after injection. You will see restored volume and smoother contours before leaving the Harrison office.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience mild redness or tenderness at the injection points. Bruising may occur but typically resolves within one to two days.
No downtime is required. Patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment, though Dr. Epstein recommends avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
How Long Restylane Lasts
Restylane results typically last six months to one year or longer, depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism. Lip treatments may require touch-ups sooner than cheek or nasolabial fold corrections.

Benefits of Restylane Dermal Filler
Natural Hyaluronic Acid Supplementation
Even if previous cosmetic treatments left you looking overdone, Restylane works differently. The hyaluronic acid gel mimics what your body already produces, creating volume that moves and feels natural beneath the skin.
Versatile Facial Correction
Dr. Epstein uses Restylane across more treatment zones than most fillers can address. From lips to earlobes, cheeks to chin, one product family handles multiple concerns in a single office visit.
Proven Safety Record
Restylane has maintained FDA approval since 2003 with an excellent safety profile across millions of treatments worldwide. Non-animal-based formulation eliminates allergy pre-testing, making treatment faster and more accessible.
High Patient Satisfaction
Patients choose Dr. Marc L. Epstein MD Aesthetic Medicine & Cosmetic Injections for Restylane because they want visible results without an obvious "work done" appearance.
The combination of a proven product and physician-performed placement produces consistent, subtle improvement.

Why Dr. Epstein for Restylane Injections
Physician-Administered Precision
Dr. Epstein personally performs every Restylane injection. He does not delegate to staff.
That means the same physician who evaluated your facial structure is placing every milliliter of filler with the precision developed over 30 years of medical practice.
The Artistic Difference
Without a trained eye for proportion, even the best filler can look unnatural.
Dr. Epstein's background as a Broadway producer and actor gives him an instinct for visual balance that most physicians do not develop in medical training alone.
He evaluates your face as a composition — considering how volume in one area affects the appearance of another.
That holistic perspective prevents the segmented, "pillow face" look that results from treating each area in isolation.
