As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity. Becasue of this, the appearance of “smile lines” can become more and more pronounced over time. With Restylane’s filler products, you can see tremendous results at softening these lines. Both of these dermal fillers can help restore a younger, healthier look to your face.
What is Restylane?
Restylane’s original dermal filler, is a dermal filler that treats severe facial wrinkles and folds, and for patients over the age of 21 it can be used to plump lips. Restylane use hyaluronic acid in gel form to create fuller lips and erase lines around the nose and mouth. Nasolabial folds or the folds of skin that run on the insides of the cheeks from your nose to your mouth can be treated with Restylane filler. If you are looking for fuller lips or want to treat severe lines/folds on your face, contact us for a consultation for Restylane fillers.
Restylane Collection of Fillers:
Lyft
Restylane Lyft is a hyaluronic acid filler that is perfect for treating the hands and face? Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring part of our skin that keeps our skin hydrated and smooth. Restylane Lyft is an FDA-approved gel injectable that contains hyaluronic acid and is designed to smooth skin on the face and hands. Lyft can plump the skin in the hands making your hands look fuller and more youthful. Lyft can also treat “marionette” lines and smile lines. If you are looking for a more youthful look, ask us about Restylane Lyft.
Refyne
Refyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that utilizes XpresHAn TechnologyTM to treat the lines that appear at the corners of the mouth and go towards the chin. These lines are sometimes referred to as “marionette lines” because of the similar appearance to the lines on a puppet. Refyne is also engineered to treat the lines that appear on either side of the nose that extend to the corners of the mouth.
Defyne
Restylane Defyne is another hyaluronic acid dermal filler that utilizes the same XpresHAn TechnologyTM as Refyne. It can also be used to treat both marionette lines and the nasolabial folds (lines around the nose). Defyne uses a unique cross-linking gel to help support facial expressions and treats deeper lines around the nose and mouth. Unlike other fillers and injections, Defyne does not limit facial movement. Defyne is proven to help patients maintain expressions and movement in their faces. Both Refyne and Defyne can help decrease the presence of facial lines. Talk to Kathryn Russo to help decide which filler or injectable is best for you.
Kysse
Restylane’s newest filler: Kysse came out in May of 2020. Kysse is a lip filler that utilizes XpresHAn Technology for smooth, natural-looking, and natural-feeling results. Many men and women who have tried Kysse have reported that the filler feels more natural in their lips compared to other lip fillers they have tried. This is because XpresHan Technology changes how the hyaluronic acid binds inside a patient’s lips. Some women report that their lip filler feels a little strange when talking, smiling, or kissing, but Kysse is designed to create a more natural feeling with a filler that moves in perfect sync with your lips.

Whether this is your first time getting aesthetic injections or your first time visiting us, we always start our treatments with a simple consultation.
- The Consultation: Before any treatment, our team will meet with you to discuss your goals. We offer many different fillers as well as other treatments. Our office works hard to ensure that we have plenty of great treatment options for our clients. Because of this we might recommend a different treatment approach that better suits your goals. Regardless, during the consultation we will go over your treatment plan before we begin treatment.
- Filler Injections: Like most fillers, Restylane is a quick procedure. Your provider will identify and mark the injection sites for your treatment. A cleanser is used to make sure your skin is clean before injection. If you are worried about any discomfort you might feel during the procedure we can apply a numbing agent. The entire process lasts just a few minutes.
- Do not touch, put pressure on, or massage the injection sites after your treatment as this can cause discomfort or bruising
- Avoid applying make-up directly after treatment. Most providers recommend waiting more than 4 hours before applying make-up post-treatment.
- Avoid exercise or any strenuous activity for at least one full day after your treatment
- Remain upright for at least 4 hours after your treatment
- Arnica gel or tablets can be used to help with swelling or bruising

Restylane’s collection of fillers can help patients smooth lines all around their face as well as increase volume.
Restylane fillers generally last up to 18 months when treating nasolabial folds. many patients report seeing great results for up to a full year.
Clients who get Restylane injections can expect to start to see a difference within an hour after their treatment. However, their full results might appear over the course of a few days.
Both Restylane and Juvederm use hyaluronic acid for their fillers to plump up skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
