What Is Restylane?
Restylane dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a key substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain volume and moisture. These fillers work by holding moisture to restore volume, smooth out lines and wrinkles, and soften folds.
Restylane has several distinct formulations, each intended for specific facial anti-aging and contouring applications. The Restylane family of products includes:
- Restylane-L – Best for lines and folds around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds)
- Restylane Lyft – Best for restoring volume to the cheeks and the backs of the hands
- Restylane Refyne – Best for mild to moderate lines and folds, with flexible, natural movement
- Restylane Defyne – Best for deeper folds while preserving your natural facial expression
- Restylane Kysse – Best for lip filler and definition, for a full, soft look
- Restylane Contour – Best for shaping the cheeks and midface as a contour cheek filler
What Restylane can improve
Restylane can improve the appearance of marionette lines, smile lines, and lip shape. It can also restore volume with a cheek filler.
Restylane vs. other fillers—What’s the difference?
The world of dermal fillers can be complex, but Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, much like Juvederm. HA fillers are known for their ability to add volume and smooth wrinkles. Other options, like Radiesse, are biostimulatory fillers, which work differently by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen. Sculptra® is another type of collagen stimulator.
The best product for you depends on your unique goals, which we will discuss during your consultation. For a complete plan, you can also combine Restylane with other treatments, such as neuromodulators or microneedling.
Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane?
Restylane is an excellent option for many patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and enhancement of facial features, addressing volume loss and fine lines to improve facial definition. However, every patient’s needs and desired results differ, so the best way to determine if you are a candidate for Restylane is to schedule a consultation with Sherisse. She will review your medical history to discuss any safety notes.
What to Expect During a Restylane Treatment
Restylane treatments are performed in-office at our luxurious and relaxing aesthetic dermatology practice. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort. Sherisse draws from her extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to identify the ideal injection sites for achieving your goals. She then gently performs the necessary filler injections.
What to Expect After Restylane Treatment
You can return to your daily routine immediately, as Restylane does not require downtime. Possible post-treatment symptoms include short-lived redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection sites. Avoiding alcohol, vigorous exercise, and excessive heat can help minimize post-treatment symptoms.
What results can you expect with Restylane dermal filler?
You will notice fuller, firmer contours immediately after your Restylane injections. It may take one to two weeks or more to receive your final results.
The body metabolizes Restylane over time, so results are temporary. Depending on the type of Restylane used, the location of the treatment site, and your body’s response to the product, the results typically last six months to one year. Sherisse can recommend the optimal retreatment schedule for maintaining your enhanced look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restylane
Is Restylane safe?
Yes, when given by an experienced provider like Sherisse, Restylane is considered very safe. It is a hyaluronic acid filler, a substance that is found in the body.
Does Restylane hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. Restylane products contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to help you stay comfortable during the procedure.
How soon will I see results?
The results of a Restylane treatment are visible right away. However, it may take approximately a week for any initial swelling to subside and for the final results to become fully apparent.
How should I prepare for my Restylane appointment?
To prepare, it's advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and fish oil, for approximately one week before the procedure. This can help reduce the chance of bruising. Sherisse will give you a list of things to avoid during your consultation.
Can Restylane be dissolved?
Yes, a significant benefit of hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane is that they can be dissolved if a patient is unhappy with the result or in the case of a complication. This is done with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler quickly and safely.
Can I have other treatments with Restylane?
Many people choose to have other procedures done at the same time as their filler appointment. It is common to combine dermal fillers with other treatments, such as neuromodulators, to address wrinkles caused by muscle movement. We can discuss a complete plan during your consultation.
