Restylane is widely considered one of the most effective hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers because it comes in numerous formulas. Each Restylane formula is specifically curated to address different concerns on different facial regions, such as the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, etc. Joli Beautique further calibrates the dosage and treatment according to your specific skin type and goals to ensure natural results with no obvious signs of cosmetic work.

What is Restylane?
Restylane is a prescription dermal filler made of the primary ingredient hyaluronic acid. When injected under targeted facial tissues, Restylane enhances facial volume and fills in the wrinkles and fine lines. It restores your skin’s depleting hyaluronic acid reserves, thereby reversing the signs of aging.
Restylane® can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years.
How Does Restylane Work?
To understand how Restylane works, you must understand how hyaluronic acid works.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component with the amazing capacity to hold up to 1,000x its own weight in water. This quality allows hyaluronic acid to make your skin look luscious, supple, and dewy. When you’re young, your skin produces hyaluronic acid in abundance, which is why your skin feels soft and luscious.
As you grow older, your skin’s depleting hyaluronic acid reserves lead to wrinkles, fine lines, nasolabial folds, and facial hollows. Restylane injections restore your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves temporarily, thereby reversing the signs of aging. Furthermore, strategically injected Restylane can also enhance your genetically inherited features.
Your Restylane Treatment Options
As mentioned previously, Restylane comes in numerous formulations, each designed to address different treatment areas and cosmetic concerns. Using the wrong formulation can lead to unwanted cosmetic results, such as frozen expressions or overfilled lips. We avoid such problems with highly calibrated injectables meant just for you.
The following are your Restylane treatment options.
- Restylane® Kysse: Restylane Kysse is a lip filler that adds volume, smooths upper lip lines for up to one year, and enhances lip color 1-4. Designed specifically for the movement of lips, Restylane Kysse is made with XpresHAn Technology’s™ innovative cross-linking gel for precise, natural-looking results.
- Restylane® Silk: The lips and the lines around the mouth, like other areas of the face, show signs of aging as you get older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and an increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these particular areas by using smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than those used in other Restylane® products.
- Restylane® Lyft: Help complete your aesthetic look with natural-looking volume in your cheeks and hands for a smoother, fuller appearance. Restylane Lyft is a safe, effective, and dissolvable HA filler. Treatment can be administered to your hands and face at the same appointment — and can result in a more youthful-looking appearance. It’s the first and only hyaluronic acid filler FDA-approved to treat your face and hands.
- Restylane® Refyne: Restylane Refyne is designed with XpresHAn Technology™ to help soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). This can help you restore a more natural look to your face while maintaining your facial expressions. So, you always look like you.
- Restylane® Defyne: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the lines that run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) become more pronounced. Restylane Defyne is crafted with XpresHAn TechnologyTM to correct these deepened lines. The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Defyne is also designed to help support your facial expressions—for natural-looking results that help maintain your natural movement.
- Restylane® Contour: The natural age-related loss of volume from the skin can lead to sunken facial features with deflated cheeks. Contour is specifically designed to be injected into the midface region to enhance your facial contours. This filler reverses age-related loss of facial volume, enhances cheek contours, makes your face look fuller and more youthful, and frees dynamic expressions, allowing you to access the complete range of expressions.

Before & After Restylane
Side Effects of Restylane
Restylane carries the same side effects as most injectable treatments — mild and temporary redness, pain, itching, swelling, tenderness, and bruising on the injection sites. However, the side effects fade away in a few days, and the risk of major complications is negligible.
Restylane FAQs:
What to expect with treatment?
You may feel a little pinch as the injection pierces your skin, but there’s no (or minimal) pain. If you’re anxious, we can provide a numbing gel to ensure optimal comfort.
Which Restylane filler is right for me?
Everyone has different needs and goals. As such, your cosmetic injector will discuss your goals and choose the ideal Restylane filler for your specific cosmetic concerns and treatment areas.
When will I see the results? How long do the results last?
Restylane produces immediate results that last for up to 12 months with optimal treatment, depending on the formulation used, treatment area, and other factors. You can repeat the treatment to maintain the results.
