Why volumize with Restylane?
The natural volume in the cheeks and lips creates the softness and roundness that is associated with a young and healthy appearance. As we grow older, we may lose some of the volume, leading to flatter cheeks and sagging skin. You may also have genetic reasons, or your own personal desires, for wanting to add volume or soften your facial features, such as thin lips or undefined lips.
Restylane Volyme and Restylane Kysse are soft and flexible, so that your face not only looks beautiful at rest but also when you smile and talk.1 Still, they are firm enough to give the right tissue support and buoyancy so that they retain volume and shape over time.
Treatments with Restylane Volyme last up to at least 18 months.2 Treatments with Restylane Kysse last up to at least 1 year.3
Restylane Volyme and Restylane Kysse treatment areas
Restylane Volyme and Restylane Kysse are dermal fillers that create volume and shape for a balanced look that suits your own desires. Areas that can be treated include cheeks and temples with Restylane Volyme and the lips with Restylane Kysse.
“Lips have always been in focus and there have been different ideals though the years. What women want today is definitely a more natural result.”
Julie Horne, aesthetic nurse, Norway
Your Restylane treatment
A treatment with Restylane takes 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. Most Restylane fillers contain a local anesthetic, lidocaine, that takes away most of the 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, you should discuss all possible risks and benefits with your healthcare practitioner.
Restylane gives you long-lasting but non-permanent results, meaning that 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 your body tissues soft, hydrated and flexible. However, as we age, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid lessens, leading to dry and thinner skin.
Natural hyaluronic acid in the body degrades quickly, in one to two days. To make the hyaluronic acid in Restylane Volyme and Restylane Kysse last longer—for up to at least a year for Restylane Kysse4 and up to at least 18 months for Restylane Volyme5 Galderma has used stabilization technologies that delay degradation. Restylane Volyme and Restylane Kysse contain hyaluronic acid gels with a consistency that is soft but yet firm enough to retain volume and shape in for example the cheeks and lips.
Restylane was the first ever non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler, when it was launched in 1996. It has become the gold standard of dermal fillers and is the injectable filler that every other filler brand is compared with.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long do the effects of the treatment last?
As Restylane is a non-permanent injectable hyaluronic acid product, the effect gradually diminishes with time. In order to maintain the aesthetic result, additional treatments, or top-up treatments (see below), are recommended. Results may vary depending on the treatment area.
What is a top-up treatment?
Since Restylane filler treatments are long-lasting but not permanent, it is recommended to have top-up treatment for maintaining the results achieved in the initial treatment. Top-up treatments will most likely require lower volumes of hyaluronic acid, depending on the injection area and the time gaps between the treatments. A clinical study has showed that with just two maintenance (top-up) treatments, Restylane is proven to last up to 36 months.
What should I apply or avoid after the treatment?
• Avoid applying make-up to the skin immediately after treatment.
• Light cover up may be used to conceal any remaining redness after approximately 24 hours.
• A yellow-toned concealer may be used to hide signs of bruising.
• In order to cover up any redness, a concealer with a slight green/yellow tone is recommended.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common side effects include treatment site reactions such as swelling, bruising, redness, pain and tenderness. These side effects generally disappear within one week after injection. Other potential side effects can occur with dermal filler injections. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner.
