Hyaluronic Acid Facial Fillers (Priced at consultation)
Hyaluronic acid (HA) facial fillers are widely used injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours with predictable, natural-looking results. Brands in the Restylane family—Restylane Kysse, Restylane, Restylane Contour, and Restylane Lyft—are FDA-approved HA fillers formulated for specific areas and aesthetic goals.
Overview of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Mechanism: HA is a naturally occurring sugar molecule that attracts and retains water, providing hydration and volume. When injected, HA fillers create structure beneath the skin to lift, fill, and smooth.
Benefits: Immediate results, minimal downtime, reversible (with hyaluronidase), and adjustable to achieve subtle or more noticeable enhancement.
Duration: Typically 6–18 months depending on product, injection site, metabolic factors, and treatment specifics.
Safety: Generally well tolerated. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, and lumps. Rare but serious risks include vascular occlusion and infection; injector expertise and appropriate technique reduce these risks.
Restylane Kysse
Intended use: Lip augmentation and correction of perioral lines.
Characteristics: Formulated with XpresHAn Technology for flexibility and movement, providing natural-looking texture and full expression with smooth feel.
Ideal outcomes: Enhanced lip volume, improved definition of the vermilion border, and softer vertical lip lines while preserving lip mobility.
Typical longevity: Up to 6–12 months; individual results vary.
Restylane (also marketed as Restylane-L in some areas)
Intended use: Versatile filler for moderate facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for soft tissue augmentation.
Characteristics: Balanced gel with reliable lifting and smoothing capacity; available in several variations (different cross-linking and particle sizes) tailored to specific depths and indications.
Ideal outcomes: Soft correction of lines and moderate volume loss with natural feel.
Typical longevity: Around 6–12 months depending on location and product variant.
Restylane Contour
Intended use: Midface (cheek) contouring and cheek augmentation to restore youthful volume and shape.
Characteristics: Specifically designed to lift and define the cheeks with a smooth gel that integrates into tissue, enabling natural-looking contour and projection.
Ideal outcomes: Restored cheek fullness, improved midface support, and a subtle lifting effect to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and jowling.
Typical longevity: Up to 12–18 months; longevity tends to be longer in deeper, structural placements.
Restylane Lyft
Intended use: Deeper cheek augmentation and correction of facial folds; also used for hand rejuvenation.
Characteristics: A firmer gel with greater lifting capacity suited for restoring structure and volume in the midface and for deeper fold correction.
Ideal outcomes: Noticeable improvement in cheek projection, correction of moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds, and rejuvenated hand volume.
Typical longevity: Up to 12–18 months when placed in deeper tissues.
Choosing the Right Product and Injector
Product selection: Depends on treatment area, desired degree of lift vs. softness, skin quality, and patient goals. For lips and perioral lines, Kysse is commonly preferred; for midface shaping, Contour or Lyft are chosen based on the degree of lift needed; standard Restylane variants address moderate lines and softer volumization.
Injector expertise: Outcomes rely heavily on the injector’s anatomy knowledge, injection technique, sterile practice, and conservative approach with staged treatments. Board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons and experienced aesthetic providers are recommended.
