Restylane is a well-known brand of dermal fillers. It has been trusted in the cosmetic industry for more than twenty years. Launched in the mid-1990s, as one of the first face fillers, Restylane was the first non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA) filler approved by the FDA.
Hyaluronic acid, the key ingredient in Restylane, is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration, volume, and elasticity.
Restylane, since its launch, has been utilized in over 65 million procedures globally. This makes it a trusted and favored option for individuals seeking to improve their looks with results that appear natural. Restylane brand offers a wide range of products designed for different treatment areas and goals, making it versatile and suitable for various aesthetic needs.
Restylane stands out due to its long history of safety and efficacy, with multiple FDA-approved formulations for various facial areas. It uses a unique gel technology that allows for a customized treatment based on the patient’s needs, ranging from more flexible, softer gels to firmer gels for more pronounced results.
The Restylane line of products is made using two special technologies called NASHA® and XpresHAn Technology™. XpresHAn Technology™ is designed to move with your facial expressions. It has a soft gel texture that is flexible and mixes well with the skin. This helps support the natural movements of your face, especially in areas that move a lot. There are more than 20 clinical studies happening around the world to test these products.
Restylane offers a variety of products, each FDA-approved for different purposes:
Restylane and Restylane-L: These are approved for mid-to-deep injection to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for lip augmentation.
Restylane Lyft: This is used for cheek augmentation, correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies, and adding volume to the back of the hands.
Restylane Silk: Specifically designed for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral wrinkles (fine lines around the mouth).
Restylane Kysse: An advanced formula for enhancing lip volume and smoothing upper perioral wrinkles, providing a softer and more flexible feel. These unique features make this product an ideal lip filler.
Restylane Refyne and Defyne: These are engineered for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue to smooth out laugh lines while maintaining natural expressions.
Restylane Contour: Ideal for contouring the cheeks, providing a natural, lifted appearance. Contour is one of the favorite choices for cheek filler.
Restylane Eyelight: Specially formulated to treat dark circles under the eyes.
One of the great benefits of Restylane fillers is that results can be seen almost immediately after treatment. The added volume from the hyaluronic acid gel smooths out wrinkles and enhances facial contours right away. However, the best results typically appear within two weeks after the procedure, as the filler settles and any initial swelling resolves.
The longevity of Restylane results depends on the specific product used and the treatment area. Generally, Restylane fillers last between 6 to 18 months. For example, Restylane-L and Restylane Lyft typically last around 6 to 12 months, while products like Restylane Defyne and Refyne can last up to 18 months when used for facial wrinkles.
Over time, the body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid, and treatments may need to be repeated to maintain the desired results.
Restylane fillers are FDA-approved for adults over the age of 21. There isn’t a specific “best” age to start; rather, it depends on individual needs and aesthetic goals. Many people begin using fillers in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventive measure to maintain youthful skin and prevent deep lines from forming. However, older adults also benefit from Restylane to restore lost volume and address more pronounced wrinkles and sagging.
Restylane fillers are a tried-and-true option for those looking to enhance their facial features, reduce signs of aging, and achieve natural-looking results. With over 20 years on the market, Restylane has proven its safety, effectiveness, and versatility. Whether you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles, add volume, or refine facial contours, there’s likely a Restylane product that can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
