The ultimate guide to Restylane in Bangkok

Last fact-checked: 30 November 2020

Restylane® is a trusted brand of facial filler available around the world. The injectable serum is hyaluronic acid-based, a natural substance already found in your skin. This effective treatment helps to rejuvenate skin, enhances facial contours, smoothes wrinkles and creates fuller lips.

Medical Departures has partnered with hundreds of clinics around the world that offer age-defying fillers for wrinkles, including Restylane. Discover more about this treatment and how you can make substantial savings when booking through our site. 

How Does Restylane Work?

Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and sun damage, contribute to the aging of our skin, and significantly, our skin’s collagen production, elasticity and hyaluronic acid levels diminish as we age. The combination of these elements leads to the formation of wrinkles. 

Restylane products improve skin elasticity, restoring structure and balance, as well as filling out folds and wrinkles.

Injectable treatments with Restylane are long-lasting, but not permanent. The effects generally last between six months to a year; with a top-up session up to 18 months. 

Lip treatments using Restylane generally need to be revisited every six months or so.

What Areas Can Restylane Be Used on?

Restylane can be used to:

• Boost skin elasticity

• Increase skin tone

• Reduce the appearance of veins

• Plump up the skin on hands (Restylane is the first FDA-approved filler for this particular use

• Volumize and enhance the appearance of lips (lip augmentation)

• Define the lip line (vermilion border)

• Reduce smoker’s lines around the mouth (perioral lines)

• Improve deep skin hydration

• Reduce appearance acne scars and sun damage

• Diminish the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, including forehead, nose to mouth, Crow’s feet

• Add volume to the chin and cheek areas

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

Your physician and you will first decide whether Restylane is suitable for your needs. The treatment only takes 15-30 minutes and is carried out by injecting the Restylane through a fine needle into the designated areas.

After the treatment, you may experience redness, discomfort and swelling, which will subside in the following days and weeks.

To reach the optimal result, it may be necessary for a touch-up treatment.

Why Should I Choose Bangkok for Restylane Treatment?

In Bangkok, you can save at least a couple of hundred—and more if you are having more than one area done (or the area needs more than one full syringe).

Together with its exciting capital, Bangkok, Thailand has become a hugely popular destination for both leisure and medical tourists. While affordability is a major draw, people simply wouldn’t come in their millions if Thai services were inadequate.

That said, it is always worth doing your research. We know this isn’t always easy, which is why Medical Departures has done the hard work for you. We work closely with reliable clinics that we trust to deliver high standards and expertise. We carry out our own background checks, which include:

• Confirming qualifications and professional memberships

• Visiting the clinics ourselves (if we don’t like what we see, we don’t list them)

• Collecting and publishing real patient reviews on our site

• Looking into legal and criminal records  

When you book with us, you are assured that the clinic you choose has already had these checks. High-definition clinic photos, virtual tours and patient reviews also help you make an informed decision about where is right for you. 

How Much Can I Save Compared to Australia or New Zealand?

On average, one syringe of Restylane is required for one area, but some may require more. One syringe is around AUD $600 in Bangkok, compared to AUD $750 in Australia.

So, if you are having several areas treated, these savings can quickly add up to several hundred dollars. While this doesn’t merit a special trip just for treatment, it could be worthwhile taking some time out of your next holiday or business trip to Bangkok for this effective anti-wrinkle treatment. Plus, there is no downtime, so you can get on with the rest of your trip straight away.
