Renew Yourself with Restylane

Restylane is arguably the most popular dermal filler in the U.S. This is no surprise, as Restylane represents a line of extraordinary products that deliver results that give you that smooth, youthful, renewed look you’re after.

Get Ready for Restylane: The Benefits

Reduced facial lines, wrinkles, and folds (Restylane, Restylane-L, Lyft, Refyne, Defyne)
Fuller, more contoured lips (Restylane, Restylane-L, Silk, Kysse)
Smoothed out “smoker’s lines” at the mouth (Restylane Silk)
Enhanced lift and volume for the cheeks (Lyft, Restylane-L)
Reduced appearance of smile lines (Refyne, Defyne)
Restored volume for areas of the face that appear sunken or hollow (Lyft)

How the Magic Works

Restylane adds youthful, plump volume by filling areas just beneath the skin. It’s a clear gel made from hyaluronic acid, a molecule that we all have naturally within our skin that helps it appear young, hydrated, and healthy. When injected, Restylane adds volume, softens lines and wrinkles, and helps the skin look toned and firm.

Restylane: Something for Everyone

Restylane is a very customizable treatment, as there are multiple products that can be used to address your specific areas of concern. Restylane products come in different particle sizes and target different cosmetic issues, and we will be able to select just the right Restylane filler to match your problem areas.

Restylane/Restylane-L

The original Restylane formula is a mid-grade filler that can be used either alone or in combination with other fillers. It’s excellent for moderate to severe facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, thin lips, and underneath the eyes. Results last approximately 10 months. Restylane-L is very similar to the original Restylane, but it includes lidocaine to help numb pain during injection. Restylane-L lasts 5 to 7 months.

Restylane Lyft

As one of the most in-demand Restylane products, Restylane Lyft is also made of the thickest formula and has the best lifting ability of them. For sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and sunken or hollow areas of the face, Restylane is a patient favorite. Results last for 18 months.

Restylane Refyne/Defyne

Developed especially for “mobile” areas of the face that move a lot, Restylane Refyne is a very flexible product that addresses moderate laugh lines and “settles” nicely where facial lines are visible. Results last up to 18 months. Restylane Defyne is similar to Refyne, but is made of a thicker gel to correct laugh lines that are even deeper. Like Refyne, Defyne lasts up to 18 months.

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk gets its name from the fact that it’s made of the thinnest gel of any Restylane product. This thin gel makes it ideal for improving areas that have very fine lines, such as under the eyes or around the mouth. Silk is also a favorite for extra-subtle lip augmentation. Results last for 6 to 10 months.

Restylane Kysse

The first Restylane product developed especially for the lips, Kysse not only delivers augmentation; it can also smooth out smoker’s lines and enhance lip color. Kysse is engineered with XpresHAn Technology™, which means that it is incredibly natural-looking, flexible, and designed to be able to move well with the mouth — which is always in motion! Results can last up to 12 months.

Is Restylane Right for You?

Curious if you’re a good candidate for Restylane? You may be. Those who are a good match for Restylane are individuals who:

Are over the age of 21
Are in good health
Do not have a bleeding disorder
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Are not allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacteria
Do not have an active skin infection or any open wounds
Have realistic expectations for what Restylane can do

What to Expect During Treatment

The first step on the day of your Restylane appointment is for us to clean your skin. Once this has been done, you can have a topical anesthetic if you prefer. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable, with just a small pinch during the injection. Restylane injections take approximately 15 minutes, and afterward the area may be massaged to ensure a proper spread of the product.

Downtime and Results

Like nearly all dermal fillers, Restylane requires very minimal downtime, and you should be able to return to your regular day after treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, and sometimes patients describe a “full” feeling within the skin, but this will subside. Please avoid exercising, anything that makes you hot and sweaty, and sun exposure for 1 to 2 days.
