Why Lift?

Why lift with RESTYLANE®?

Our facial bones give shape and structure to our faces. As we age, bone resorption can increase, 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 can happen with age, or after rapid weight loss. This can lead to flat cheeks, sagging skin, and jowls.6,7

 

RESTYLANE® hyaluronic acid injectables can help compensate for these changes by adding volume to your cheeks, sharpening your jawline, and reducing your jowls.4,5 RESTYLANE® can also help if you want to enhance your facial features and can bring out your individuality.

What is Restylane® LYFT™?

Restylane® LYFT™ is a firm injectable gel of hyaluronic acid. This dermal filler is suitable for lifting your cheeks, enhancing your jawline, shaping your chin, and reducing the appearance of jowls and wrinkles. Restylane® LYFT™ provides precise results to the treated area.4 

 

Restylane® LYFT™ for cheeks

Restylane® LYFT™ is a firm injectable, which is ideal as a treatment for providing lift and structure to your cheekbones without volumizing. This can help to give a sharper appearance to your cheeks, providing support and projection where needed, and to rebalance any facial changes following natural aging, or weight loss.2,4,8,9 

 

Restylane® LYFT™ for jaw and chin

Restylane® LYFT™ is well suited for providing projection and structure to your jaw and chin. Your facial muscles are always moving, but as a firm gel, Restylane® LYFT™ has been designed to stay where it has been injected.4,10,11 

 

What is Restylane® DEFYNE™? 

Restylane® DEFYNE™ is a hyaluronic acid injectable gel. It is a softer, more flexible dermal filler than Restylane® LYFT™. Restylane® DEFYNE™ delivers precise results, providing a softer projection or lifting to your jawline, chin, and nasolabial folds.5,9,12–17 

Restylane® DEFYNE™ has been shown to look natural with your facial expression and can be used to provide soft volume, contouring, and definition.5,12,16,17 

 

Restylane® DEFYNE™ for jaw and chin

Restylane® DEFYNE™ is ideal as a jaw and chin filler because it provides flexible support. Studies have shown that improved chin projection lasts well with just one treatment of Restylane® DEFYNE™.18 

 

How long does Restylane® DEFYNE™ hyaluronic acid injectable last? 

Treatments with Restylane® DEFYNE™ can last up to at least 1 year.17

RESTYLANE® treatment

Your RESTYLANE® hyaluronic acid injectable treatment

RESTYLANE® dermal filler treatments take approximately 15-45 minutes, depending on the area that will be treated. Sometimes you might need a touch-up treatment about two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize your results. Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ injectables contain a local anesthetic, lidocaine, that removes most of the discomfort during treatment. 4,5,19 

 

Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ aftercare

Immediately after your dermal filler treatment, you may experience some post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, pain, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects usually disappear up to two weeks after injection.4,5 Though dermal fillers are minimally invasive, they still carry some risks. Before the treatment, discuss all possible risks and benefits with your healthcare practitioner. 

  

RESTYLANE® gives you long-lasting but non-permanent results, which means you can continuously refine your looks.

How RESTYLANE® works

How RESTYLANE® works

Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient of RESTYLANE® dermal fillers. 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.20 

 

Natural hyaluronic acid in the body degrades quickly, in one to two days. To make the hyaluronic acid in Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ injectables last longer, Galderma has used stabilization technologies that delay degradation.21 Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ contain hyaluronic acid gels that provide good support to maintain structure and projection.4,5  

 

RESTYLANE® was the first ever non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) injectable when it was approved in 1996.22 It is the closest to natural HA technology on the market and has been trusted by healthcare practitioners for over 25 years.22,23

Frequently asked questions about Restylane® LYFT™ and Restylane® DEFYNE™

You should always contact a qualified healthcare practitioner to be assured that your dermal filler treatment will be performed correctly, and you should search in national registers of licensed aesthetic treatment specialists. Your treatment should be performed in a medical environment that offers privacy and is spotlessly clean. You may want to request to see your chosen practitioner’s training and insurance certificates to ensure that they are appropriately trained and insured. 

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. 

You should receive comprehensive information and a detailed explanation regarding your RESTYLANE® injectable 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 satisfaction. 

Here are a few questions that we recommend you to ask your healthcare practitioner:  

  • What results can I expect from the treatment? 
  • What happens during the treatment? 
  • Could my medical history or previous treatments affect or prevent treatment? 
  • Are there any side effects and precautions that I should know about? 
  • Is there anything I should do before and after treatment? 

First, the healthcare practitioner disinfects the area to be treated. A small amount of the appropriate RESTYLANE® hyaluronic acid injectable is then injected into the skin through a fine needle or blunt micro-cannula to add volume to your cheeks or help shape your jawline and chin. After the injection, your practitioner may gently massage the treated area to even out the result. 

A treatment with RESTYLANE® does not take long. Depending on the area and indication, it takes approximately 15–45 minutes to administer a dermal filler. A touch-up treatment is sometimes performed approximately two weeks after the initial treatment to optimize the results.
