Why lift with Restylane®?
Our facial bones give shape and structure to our face. As we age, bone resorption increases, leading to loss of definition and contours, especially at the posterior part of the jawline. Another consequence of aging is volume loss in the mid face, which could lead to flat cheeks, saggy skin and jowling. Creating a lift with Restylane® will compensate for these changes. Another reason for lift with Restylane® could be that you have a desire to enhance your facial features and bring out your individuality, no matter your age.
Restylane® Defyne™ and Restylane® Lyft™ can be tailored to any individual look to give you the freedom to be original. Restylane® Lyft™ is our firmest dermal filler and is suited for lifting the cheeks, enhancing the jawline, or reducing the appearance of wrinkles2. If you have a thinner tissue coverage, Restylane® Defyne™ could be preferred as it is slightly softer and more flexible.
Treatment with Restylane® Defyne™ and Restylane® Lyft™ have been shown to have long-lasting results.

Your Restylane® treatment
A treatment with Restylane® takes approximately 15-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Sometimes, you might need a touch-up treatment about two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize your results. Restylane® fillers contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, that removes most discomfort during treatment.
Immediately after your dermal filler treatment, you may experience some post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, pain, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects usually disappear within one week after injection. Though fillers are minimally invasive, they still carry some risks. Before the treatment, discuss all possible risks and benefits with your healthcare practitioner. View Important Safety Information.
Restylane® gives you long-lasting but non-permanent results, meaning you can continuously refine your looks.
How it works
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that has a unique ability to bind water. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our bodies and in all layers of our skin. It keeps our body tissues soft, hydrated, and flexible. However, as we age, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid lessens, leading to dry, thinner skin and loss of youthful volume.
Natural hyaluronic acid in the body degrades quickly, in one to two days. To make the hyaluronic acid in Restylane® Defyne™ and Restylane® Lyft™ last longer, Galderma has used stabilization technologies that delay degradation. Restylane® Defyne™ and Restylane® Lyft™ contain hyaluronic acid gels that provide support to maintain structure and projection.
Upon its launch in 1996, Restylane® was the first ever non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler. Restylane® has become the gold standard of dermal filler treatments.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare before my consultation?
You will always have a consultation before your first treatment. Think through what you want to achieve and the questions you may have. Your healthcare practitioner will inform you how Restylane® dermal filler treatments can be used safely to suit your individual aspirations. You will also be asked about your medical history. When you leave your consultation, you should feel well-informed about Restylane® dermal filler treatments, and you should know what results to expect.
What should I bear in mind when considering a treatment?
You should always contact a qualified healthcare practitioner. One option is to search for licensed aesthetic treatment specialists in national registries. Your treatment should be performed in a spotlessly clean medical environment that affords you privacy.
Who is qualified to administer Restylane® treatments?
Only a medically qualified practitioner should perform Restylane® treatments. Depending on your country’s legislation, this may include plastic surgeons, cosmetic clinicians, dermatologists, cosmetic dentists, or aesthetic nurses. If in doubt, please see our list of certified clinics/practitioners close to you.
What should I expect from my chosen healthcare practitioner?
You should receive comprehensive information and a detailed explanation regarding your Restylane® dermal filler treatment.
• You should be informed of the possibilities and limitations of treatments with hyaluronic acid.
• You should receive information about possible side effects and precautions for treatment.
• You should be informed of the cost of the treatment and possible follow-up treatments.
• Your questions should be answered to your full satisfaction.
What precautions should my healthcare practitioner advise me about?
There are several important precautions to discuss with your healthcare practitioner to ensure satisfactory results and avoid complications:
• If you are taking immunosuppressive medications.
• If you are taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or any other medication that affects bleeding.
• If you have any questions about precautions related to the treatment.
How is Restylane® administered?
First, the healthcare practitioner disinfects the area to be treated. A small amount of the appropriate Restylane® dermal filler treatment is then injected into the skin through a fine needle or blunt micro-cannula to fill wrinkles, add volume, shape your face or fill your lips. After the injection, your practitioner may gently massage the treated area to even out the result.
