Restylane fillers

Updated: Jul 31, 2022




All of the Restylane® dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a clear gel-like substance that is found naturally in the body, so there's very little chance of allergic reactions. They also all contain an anesthetic, to diminish discomfort during treatments. 


The Restylane family  


▶️Restylane® is the original member of the Restylane family and is most frequently used to lift up depressions under the eyes (also known as "troughs") that cause dark circles, smooth noses that have a bump, and plump up creased or deflated ear lobes (you know your ears have deflated when stud earrings are pointing at the floor). Original Restylane results typically last six to nine months on average, but can last much longer when used to fill depressions under the eyes.

▶️Restylane® Lyft  is a gel with a firmer consistency than the original Restylane, so it's used to provide both a lifting effect as well as volume replacement. It's a good dermal filler choice for cheek, chin or jawline enhancement, or for lifting sagging facial skin. Results from Restylane® Lyft last nine to twelve months, on average.

▶️Restylane® Refyne & Restylane Defyne are the two newest Restylane fillers. What’s unique about them is that they’re flexible & stretch under the skin with facial expressions, so that even if you’re laughing or frowning, they’re not visible under the skin. This makes them especially helpful for areas with muscles that pull the skin in multiple directions, like around the mouth.

The technology associated with Refyne and Defyne helps there be less swelling with their treatments compared to some of the other hyaluronic acid fillers. This makes Refyne an excellent choice in the lips, where swelling is usually noticeable with other filler choices.

Both Defyne & Refyne results last about twelve months so many patients will get a touchRestylane® Refyne is a soft, stretchable filler so it can be used close to the surface of the skin as well as deep. This makes it an excellent choice for lip, forehead, crow's feet, and smoker's lines, as well as in the marionette areas, outside the corners of the mouth & in the lips.

▶️Restylane® Defyne is a medium thickness filler so it’s used to fill deeper lines like marionettes (sad mouth lines) and nasolabial (nose to mouth corner lines) folds. 

▶️Restylane® Kysse is the newest Resylane lip product, providing natural-looking enhancement and Kysse-able softness for up to a year.

The unique cross-linking of the hyaluronic acid gel in Restylane Kysse has been specially developed for the treatment of sensitive lips. Kysse gel softly integrates into the sensitive lip tissue and has been proven to cause little swelling.

▶️Restylane Skinbosters is a filler treatment that stimulates the fibroblasts to increase elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid to plump up the skin from the inside out. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar produced by our own skin cells to maintain moisture—but diminishes with age and exposure to environmental stressors. This treatment restores moisture levels to improve skin tone and texture, soften fine lines, and replace dullness with glow. This is a painless treatment as topical numbing is used prior to treatment.

Restylane Skinboosters is applied all over the skin through a series of micro-injections (dermal filler droplets. It uses a very soft hyaluronic acid filler (Restylane Vital or Vital Light) that works via biochemical properties rather than harder fillers that are used for sculpting purposes. It focuses more on moisture and overall skin quality rather than filling specific areas. Also known as hydrolifting and hydrofilling, Restylane Skinboosters provides instant results for fresh skin that glows.
