What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles while restoring volume and fullness in the face and hands, or to re-shape features to meet aesthetic goals, such as achieving a fuller lip or correcting the appearance of a recessed chin.

There are several types of dermal fillers, one being hyaluronic acid (HA). All Restylane® fillers use HA gel technology made of transparent hyaluronic acids, which are sugars naturally found in the skin that help provide hydration, fullness, and elasticity.

For any and every look.

Most Restylane® appointments last less than an hour, and results can be seen almost immediately as the added volume begins to smooth away wrinkles.

As we age, our skin changes, becoming thinner, losing fat, and no longer looking as plump or smooth as it once did. Facial aging begins in your 20s, when skin firmness starts decreasing as a result of both internal factors (i.e., genetics and natural aging) and external factors (e.g., sun exposure, smoking, stress). Hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen, and elastin diminish as we age, causing skin to lose volume and increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear. Restylane® dermal fillers use a clear gel formulation of HA.R

Customized Aesthetics.

  • “Cupid’s bow” lips: The Cupid’s bow is the double curve of the upper lip, resembling the bow of Cupid, Roman god of love. Traditionally, a well-defined upper lip line is thought to help create a more beautiful lip shape.
  • A symmetrical pout: Typically, achieving better symmetry of the face can help to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look. Sometimes, volume of the lips is naturally asymmetrical, or a scar or injury may have caused volume loss. Filler can be used to address symmetry of the lips and their shape.
  • “Natural-looking” full lips: When it comes to size and volume, a natural-looking result is key. Restylane® Kysse is made with XpresHAn Technology™, for filler that moves with each smile and expression to provide more natural-looking results.
  • Perioral lines: Also called “smoker’s lines,” “vertical lip lines,” or “barcode lines,” they develop with age and can be smoothed using filler.
  • Lip color and texture: Restylane® Kysse is clinically proven to enhance texture and color of the lips while maintaining a full range of expressions.

Everyone’s facial structure is different, and so are everyone’s ideal lip shape and size. Restylane-L®, Restylane Silk® and Restylane Kysse® are designed to provide precise lip shaping and line control, resulting in natural-looking results.

Here are some useful tips for lip filler aftercare:

  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
  • If you have a history of cold sores, talk with your injector before your appointment about medications that may minimize the likelihood of an outbreak. Needle punctures to the lip may increase the likelihood of cold sore reoccurrence.
  • Avoid taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen), St. John’s wort or high doses of vitamin E supplements.These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
  • Minimize strenuous exercise and exposure to excessive heat, sun, or UV lamps for the first 24 hours after treatment. Exposure to any of these may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection site. Until there is no redness or swelling, avoid exposure of the treated area to intense cold or heat such as sun lamps or sunbathing.

Remember to ask about follow-up appointments and for any additional aftercare instructions from your injector.

Results may vary depending on your individual body chemistry (metabolism) and the amount of product used. The Restylane® Family has several lip fillers, including Restylane Kysse®, Restylane Silk®, Restylane®, and Restylane-L®. Restylane Kysse® is clinically proven to last up to 1 year. Talk to your injector about the best treatment.
