About Restylane Kysse

Restylane Kysse is a lip filler in the Restylane dermal filler portfolio that can improve the appearance of your lips and their surrounding skin. Restylane is different from other fillers, as it uses the specialized, crosslinked XpresHAn Technology™. This formulation packs hyaluronic acid and other particles more closely together. When we inject Restylane Kysse into the treatment area, its special formulation allows the gel filler to move more easily and flexibly, resulting in a more natural look. However your lips move, Restylane Kysse will move effortlessly with them.

About Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that is present in the skin, eyes, connective tissue, and more. It is deeply hydrating and attracts and maintains moisture to create volume and improve structural support. (2) Hyaluronic acid has several FDA-approved indications, with Restylane Kysse being among them.

Benefits

Restylane Kysse injections offer several notable benefits. Our patients frequently experience advantages such as:

  • Natural-Looking Results: Restylane Kysse utilizes XpresHAn crosslinking technology, which makes the formula more flexible and resilient. This allows your filler to move more naturally with your facial expressions.
  • Improved Lip Shape: This treatment will enhance the shape and fullness of your lips for a more plump and desirable look.
  • Lasting Results: The results of Restylane Kysse can last up to one year.
  • Minimally Invasive: This treatment allows you to achieve significant improvements without the use of general anesthesia or incisions.
  • Customizable Treatment Options: We design each treatment plan around your unique anatomy, goals, and concerns, ensuring results that match your ideal aesthetic.
  • Elevated Confidence: Many patients report an improvement in their self-esteem after seeing their enhancements, which may lead to a greater sense of overall confidence.

Candidates

Candidates for Restylane Kysse include most healthy adults interested in enhancing the shape or fullness of their lips using minimally invasive or nonsurgical techniques. Patients should be in good general health without any underlying medical conditions that may impact their recovery. It is also important that patients maintain realistic expectations regarding what this treatment may achieve. An injection specialist will determine each patient’s eligibility for Restylane Kysse during their personal consultation.

Personal Consultation

During this consultation, one of our injection specialists will meet with you individually to discuss what Restylane Kysse is and how it works. They will ask you about your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals, and evaluate your lips.

They will use these details to create your treatment plan, recommending the ideal amount of filler for your needs. They may also suggest additional procedures that could enhance your results. This consultation serves as a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Our team is here to support you each step of the way!

Preparation

Preparing for a Restylane Kysse treatment is typically straightforward, but you should follow any instructions we provide for the best outcomes. Guidelines typically include:

  • Discontinue medications and supplements that have blood-thinning properties, as instructed by your provider.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products for several days before your appointment to protect your skin’s natural barrier.
  • Stop using nicotine and consuming alcohol before your appointment to help minimize post-treatment swelling.
  • Arrive on the day of your appointment with a clean face, free of fragrances, makeup, and skincare products.

Procedure

When you arrive for your treatment, your injector will first clean and sanitize your skin in a private treatment room. If necessary, they can administer a mild local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. They will carefully administer the Restylane Kysse formula beneath your skin to enhance the shape and fullness of your lips. Injection points are determined carefully to provide optimal volume distribution.

Recovery and Results

After your treatment, you will be able to return to your daily activities as normal—there is essentially no downtime associated with Restylane Kysse. However, we do recommend that you refrain from engaging in physical activities or strenuous tasks for 24-48 hours after receiving your injections. You should also avoid massaging, touching, or putting pressure on the lips. You may experience swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects will dissipate on their own within the next few days.

Results will be visible immediately after your appointment, as hyaluronic acid immediately improves volume. You will be able to enjoy fuller, more shapely lips that harmonize with your facial features. You will be able to move your lips as normal, maintaining a natural expression. The results of Restylane Kysse are long-lasting, with effects that can last for up to one year in many cases. Individual experiences may vary.

Corresponding Procedures

Restylane Contour

Restylane Contour is another member of the Restylane portfolio, but its formula targets facial definition and volume. This filler can help add fullness to areas that appear hollow or sunken, restoring the natural contours of your face. Restylane Contour also uses XpresHAn Technology™, but instead of augmenting the lips, it can resculpt the midface and cheek area. We can administer this filler within the same appointment as Restylane Kysse, offering cohesive and comprehensive rejuvenation that can leave you looking more youthful.

FAQ

What should I expect from a Restylane Kysse treatment?

Your treatment will be quick and easy. When you arrive for your appointment, we will cleanse your skin and then inject your lips with the Restylane Kysse formula. After this, you are free to resume most normal activities, with some minor restrictions for a short time.

How long will the results of Restylane Kysse last?

The results of Restylane Kysse can last between eight months to a year, but this timing can vary depending on your body’s metabolism and your lifestyle habits. After the effects of the filler wear off, patients are welcome to consider a follow-up appointment.

What is the recovery like for Restylane Kysse?

Restylane Kysse injections do not require significant downtime. You may experience temporary redness or swelling for the first 24-72 hours after your appointment, but these effects will subside on their own. During this time, it may be best to avoid strenuous activities or putting pressure on the lips. Other than that, you may return to most normal activities immediately after your procedure.

Does Restylane Kysse have any side effects?

Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising near the injection sites. Rare complications can occur, but these are uncommon, especially with the expertise of a qualified injector. It is important for your safety that you choose an experienced injector with a track record of proven results.

Can I combine my Restylane Kysse with another cosmetic treatment or procedure?

Yes, many patients choose to combine their Restylane lip injections with another cosmetic treatment for more cohesive results. It can also be added to a surgical treatment plan. For more detailed information on combining treatments, we recommend scheduling a personal consultation online.

Will my lips look natural after Restylane Kysse?

Yes. Restylane Kysse is formulated with XpresHAn Technology™, which allows the filler to move naturally with your lips. This ensures that your lips maintain their expressions and look natural, even when smiling, talking, or eating. The results enhance your lips subtly, rather than creating an overfilled appearance.
