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 long does the treatment take?
A treatment with Restylane® does not take long. Depending on the area and indication, it takes approximately 15-45 minutes. A touch-up treatment is sometimes performed approximately two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize the results. Talk to your heathcare professional to learn more about the treatment procedure.
Is the treatment painful?
Some people may experience mild discomfort. Most Restylane® fillers contain an integrated local anesthetic, lidocaine, to provide you with a more comfortable treatment experience. You and your healthcare practitioner may decide whether additional pain relief is needed.
Can everyone have a Restylane® dermal filler treatment?
Ask your healthcare practitioner if you will benefit from treatment with any of the hyaluronic acid products within the Restylane® product portfolio. It is important when discussing your medical history to tell your practitioner everything, including all medicines that you are taking, any present and past allergies and their seriousness, and all current or past medical conditions you have had. Your practitioner will discuss potential side effects from the injection of Restylane® and how serious they may be. You should also inform your practitioner if you have received previous aesthetic treatments, both surgical and non-surgical.
Who should not have a Restylane® filler treatment?
Restylane® filler treatment should not be used in some people. At your initial consultation, it is important to tell your healthcare professional about all of your current and prior medical conditions, allergies and how serious they are, all medications you are taking, and whether you have had or are planning to have another aesthetic procedure. Discuss contraindications, warnings and precautions with your healthcare practitioner before Restylane® filler treatments.
Can I have a Restylane® filler treatment if I am pregnant?
The Restylane® products have not been tested in pregnant or breastfeeding women and is therefore not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What happens after the treatment?
After the treatment you will receive post-treatment guidelines. It is normal to experience some post-treatment discomfort, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects generally disappear within one week after injection.
Other potential side effects can occur with dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner. Following treatment, there is sometimes a need for a touch-up treatment to achieve an optimal result.
