What Is RESTYLANE?
Rebuild Natural Volume and Facial Balance
RESTYLANE is a collection of fillers made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration, structure, and volume. During treatment, small amounts of filler are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, soften facial wrinkles, and enhance contours. Dr. Leader uses different RESTYLANE formulations depending on the treatment area and goals. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is performed comfortably in the office, and most patients notice immediate improvements.

Dr. Leader’s Approach
Artistic Vision. Thoughtful Facial Balance.
Dr. Leader approaches facial fillers with the same philosophy she brings to surgery: thoughtful, precise, and centered on the individual sitting in front of her. She takes the time to understand what you see in the mirror and what you hope to restore. Her goal is never to change your features, but to refine them in a way that feels balanced, natural, and unmistakably you.
She brings both Beverly Hills-level surgical training and a distinctly Midwestern approach to patient care. Fellowship-trained under world-renowned plastic surgeons, Dr. Leader leverages her anatomical knowledge with an artist’s eye, an influence she traces back to her grandfather, a professional artist. Each injection is placed with careful intention, restoring soft volume and harmony so you still recognize yourself, while looking more refreshed and confident.

RESTYLANE FAQs
How Long Do RESTYLANE Results Last?
Most patients enjoy results for 6 to 12 months, depending on the treatment area, the specific formulation used, and your individual metabolism. Some areas, such as the cheeks, may maintain results a bit longer. Maintenance treatments help preserve results.
Is There Downtime After RESTYLANE Injections?
Downtime is minimal for most patients. Mild swelling, redness, or occasional bruising may occur, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. Many patients return to normal activities the same day, making the treatment easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Will My Results Look Natural?
That is always the goal. Dr. Leader approaches injectables with a surgeon’s precision and an artist’s eye. She focuses on restoring balance and soft volume rather than overfilling features, so you still look like yourself, just refreshed, rested, and a little more confident.
