Restylane® — Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Restore, refine, rejuvenate — naturally.
What Is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a family of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and sculpt facial contours with natural-looking results.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the skin, and Restylane uses a stabilized form to provide lasting support and hydration.
Unlike fillers made from non-HA materials, Restylane has the advantage of being reversible with the enzyme hyaluronidase if any adjustments are needed.
The Restylane® Portfolio & Its Uses
One of Restylane’s strengths is its versatility — different formulations are tailored to different zones, tissue depths, and movement needs.
Some of the key variants include:
Product
Best for / Application
Restylane
Moderate to deep folds (e.g. nasolabial lines), lip definition, general volume support.
Restylane Lyft
Midface volumization, cheek lift, broader areas needing structural support.
Restylane Refyne / Defyne
Dynamic areas and expression zones — smoother lines while preserving natural movement.
Restylane Silk / Kysse
Lip enhancement, soft definition, subtle volume with flexibility.
Restylane Contour
Cheek contouring, midface sculpting.
Restylane Eyelight
Under-eye (tear trough) correction.
Restylane Skinboosters
Hydration, improving skin texture, fine lines without adding significant volume.
Because the formulations have different rheological properties (stiffness, elasticity, “spreadability”), our team can mix or layer them in a single treatment to optimize results.
How Restylane Works
- 1. Injection into targeted tissue planes Using fine needles or cannulas, small volumes of HA gel are placed precisely under the skin.
- 2. Volume & support The HA attracts and holds water, gently plumping and supporting adjacent tissues.
- 3. Integration & remodeling Over time, the gel integrates with the surrounding tissue while maintaining shape and flexibility.
- 4. Gradual absorption The body slowly metabolizes the HA over months, so results fade gradually.
Depending on the product and location, effects can last ~12 to 18+ months. In some cases, retreatment at appropriate intervals can extend the duration.
Treatment Areas & Common Uses
Restylane can address many cosmetic concerns, such as:
- Nasolabial folds (“smile lines”)
- Marionette lines (corners of the mouth)
- Lip volume, definition, border refinement
- Cheek augmentation / midface lift
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
- Jawline sculpting & chin projection
- Hands (volume restoration in dorsum)
- General contouring of face & profile
One of the advantages of Restylane is that many of its formulations can be used across multiple facial zones, enabling “full face” planning.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Planning We’ll review your facial anatomy, volume loss, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. From there, we’ll recommend which Restylane products and volumes best suit your face.
- Preparation We cleanse, anesthetize (topical or with numbing agents), and mark injection points. Many Restylane products include lidocaine for increased comfort.
- Injection The procedure takes approximately 35–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas.
Aftercare
Common immediate effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at injection sites, usually resolving in days.
Safety, Risks & Contraindications
Restylane has a well-established safety record when used by qualified professionals, but it comes with potential risks and contraindications:
Common side effects (usually mild and transient):
- Swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, lumps, itching at the injection site
- Minor firmness or contour irregularities, typically manageable with massage or adjustment

FAQs
Does Restylane hurt?
Most describe it as a quick pinch. Many Restylane options include lidocaine, and we can use topical numbing to increase comfort.
When will I see final results?
You’ll notice immediate improvement, but the polished result emerges over 1–2 weeks as swelling resolves.
How long does Restylane last?
Varies by area and formulation — typically between ~12 – 18+ months.
Can Restylane be dissolved?
Yes — HA fillers including Restylane can be reversed with hyaluronidase in appropriate settings.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients combine Restylane with neuromodulators (Botox), lasers, microneedling, or PRP for a multi-layered rejuvenation strategy.
How many syringes will I need?
That depends on volume loss, facial anatomy, and goals. We’ll assess and recommend during your consultation.
