What is Restylane?
Restylane is a brand of dermal fillers that are commonly used in cosmetic dermatology to enhance facial features, restore volume, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume.
Restylane fillers are known for their natural-looking results, as the hyaluronic acid in the fillers closely resembles the hyaluronic acid found in the skin. The effects of Restylane treatments are temporary and typically last several months, after which follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired results.
Types of Restylane
At Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Care, we offer a range of Restylane products designed to address various cosmetic concerns and enhance your natural beauty. Each Restylane product is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Raskin, will work closely with you to determine the most suitable Restylane product to achieve your desired results.
Restylane-L
Restylane-L is a versatile dermal filler that can target multiple areas of the face. It’s commonly used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, such as those around the mouth and nose. Additionally, Restylane-L can be used to enhance lip volume and definition, providing you with natural-looking and youthful results.
Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to address volume loss in the cheeks and midface area. As we age, the cheeks may begin to sag or appear hollow. Restylane Lyft can restore volume and lift, resulting in a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance. This product can also be used to enhance the backs of the hands, minimizing the visible signs of aging.
Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne
Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne are advanced dermal fillers that target moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane Defyne is formulated to smooth out deeper lines, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines while maintaining natural facial expressions. Restylane Refyne, on the other hand, is ideal for addressing mild to moderate wrinkles and maintaining flexibility in your facial movements.
Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse is specifically designed to enhance the lips and provide natural-looking volume and definition. Whether you’re looking to achieve fuller lips or restore lost volume, Restylane Kysse can help you achieve your desired lip aesthetics.

- Lips:
Restylane is a popular choice for lip enhancement. Whether you desire fuller, more defined lips or want to address fine lines around the mouth, our lip augmentation treatments can help you achieve a balanced and attractive smile. - Cheeks:
As we age, loss of volume in the cheeks can lead to a tired or sagging appearance. Restylane Lyft, specifically designed for mid-face rejuvenation, can restore volume to your cheeks, creating a youthful and lifted look. - Nasolabial Folds:

Marionette lines, which extend from the corners of the mouth downward, can contribute to an aged or downcast appearance.

Minimal Downtime and Quick Recovery
One of the advantages of Restylane treatments is the minimal downtime associated with the procedure. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment. While some minor side effects are possible, they are generally temporary and manageable.
Potential Side Effects
It’s important to be aware that, like any cosmetic procedure, Restylane treatments may have some potential side effects, although they are usually mild and temporary. These may include:
- Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling at the injection site are common and typically subside within a few days.
- Bruising: Some patients might experience minor bruising, particularly in areas where injections were administered. This can usually be concealed with makeup and fades over time.
- Tenderness: The treated area might be slightly tender to the touch immediately after the procedure, but this discomfort is temporary.
- Asymmetry: In rare cases, there might be slight asymmetry, which can often be adjusted during a follow-up appointment if necessary.
FAQ About Restylane
How long does Restylane last?
The duration of the results of Restylane varies depending on the area treated and the individual’s metabolism. However, on average, Restylane can last 6-18 months.
Can Restylane be reversed?
Yes, Restylane can be reversed with the use of an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler.
What is the difference between Restylane and Botox?
Restylane and Botox are both cosmetic treatments, but they work differently. Restylane adds volume to the skin, while Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles.
