Restylane is a FDA-approved dermal filler made of a biodegradable, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA). Restylane is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid. When injected, it can be used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, enhance facial contours and add volume to the lips.
The main difference between Juvéderm and Restylane is the texture. Restylane is more granular, while Juvederm is smoother. These variances in texture give both options different strengths. Juvederm tends to be best for addressing finer lines and wrinkles in tight facial areas, whereas Restylane is best for adding significant volume to sunken facial areas.
• Plump the lips
• Add volume to the cheeks
• Fill in hollowed temples
• Reshape the jaw, chin & nose
• Eliminate marionette lines & nasolabial folds
• Reduce the appearance of deep facial scars (usually caused by acne)
Like Juvederm, Restylane features a family of product options for various aesthetic applications, ranging in consistency and the period of time the product lasts.
Restylane-L has larger gel particles designed to lift and add volume to hollow facial areas. It is approved for the correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds, adding volume to lips and smoothing wrinkles around the mouth. The results of Restylane-L typically lasts about 6 months.
Restylane Kysse is a relatively new addition to the Restylane product line. Kysse is FDA-approved for lip enhancement, an ideal treatment option for patients who would like to improve lip volume and contour. In addition, this product can also reduce signs of wrinkles around the mouth to create smoother skin and a more youthful look. One of the aspects of Restylane Kysse that sets it apart from other filler options is its innovative composition: the injectable solution includes a proprietary component called XpresHAn Technology™, which helps the hyaluronic acid particles bind themselves together in the lips. This effect allows them to stretch, then return to where they were previously. For most patients, Restylane Kysse lasts up to one year.
Restylane Lyft is great for adding volume to the mid-facial area. It can be used to reverse sunken cheeks, soften acne scars and can also be used to treat aging hands. The effects of Restylane Lyft typically lasts around 6 months.
Restylane Silk has a smaller and lighter consistency than some other types of Restylane. It is best used for subtle, precise definition by minimizing the signs of aging around the mouth and on the lips. It can also be used to add volume and softness to the lips. Restylane Silk lasts between 6-12 months for most patients.
Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are designed to fill moderate to severe wrinkles, folds, and creases without impacting natural facial movements and expressions. In general, Restylane Refyne is a great choice for smoothing facial lines of modest depths, and Restylane Defyne is ideal for softening deeper folds and creases. Both products can last up to 12 months or longer!
Patient safety and comfort are our utmost priorities at Satin Med Spa. After completing your paperwork, you will meet with one of our Master Injectors to discuss your goals for your Restylane treatment. Next, we will clean and numb the area(s) to be injected and note the injection points to achieve your desired results. Then, we will inject the targeted areas and provide you with post-treatment instructions. The entire treatment process usually takes 45-60 minutes. During your initial consultation, we will create a customized treatment plan to achieve your unique aesthetic goals. Once a treatment plan is in place, we can give you a better idea of how long you can expect treatment to take.

Immediately after treatment you may experience mild swelling or bruising which should subside in a few days to a week. The treated areas can be iced to reduce swelling – ice as much as you can for the first several days. We recommend 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off – up to 5 times a day. Because these injections are likely to cause swelling, please note that it may take up to 2 weeks to see the final result, after the swelling has subsided and the product has settled in.
The cost of this procedure varies greatly depending on the areas being treated, syringes required for optimal results and whether or not you’re combining your filler treatment with neurotoxin, like Botox.
