Everything to Know About Restylane Kysse

Smooth, plump lips add allure to your face. They enhance your smile and make you look younger. Dermal filler injections offer an easy, non-surgical way to make your lips fuller and more enticing. And Restylane Kysse is a remarkable new addition to the FDA-approved set of injectable filler options—one with many advantages.

What Is Restylane Kysse?

Restylane Kysse is a new type of injectable filler. Designed specifically for the lips, Kysse builds on the successes of earlier dermal fillers while adding some key benefits. Like other fillers, it adds volume to and smooths your lips and can be applied with customized precision to shape your lips in ways that bring out your special beauty. With its unique formulation, it makes these visual changes while retaining your lips’ natural flexibility and softness.

Restylane Kysse can add volume to the lips for those who want a plumper pout or restore natural fullness to the lips of patients who have begun to experience thinning lips. Additionally, Kysse can smooth lip lines, the vertical lines in the lips that can become more pronounced with age. It can add definition to lips and make them a more striking feature of your face to complement the attractiveness of your eyes.

How Is Restylane Kysse Different from Other Fillers?

Like many other FDA-approved fillers, Restylane Kysse is made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in your body that helps skin retain moisture and volume.

What sets Restylane Kysse apart is the innovative cross-linking properties of the injected gel. Galderma, the maker of the Restylane line of fillers, developed this proprietary XpresHAN Technology specifically for Restylane Kysse. Their objective was to create a filler that enhanced not only the look of the lips, but their softness, flexibility, and natural movement. They have succeeded wonderfully. Patients who’ve been treated with Restylane Kysse, and their partners, are overwhelmingly happy with the results.

So, the primary benefits of Restylane Kysse are its natural-looking and natural-feeling results. After treatment, your lips will not only look more beautiful, but they’ll also feel soft and have the flexibility to move naturally with your facial expressions.

Other advantages of Restylane Kysse include:

  • A more comfortable treatment experience. Restylane Kysse is formatted with lidocaine, a numbing medication that makes the injection more comfortable. The small particles in the formulation allow for injections with a very fine needle, another advantage for sensitive patients.
  • Long-lasting results. In clinical trials, Galderma found that 78 percent of patients were still satisfied with their results a year after treatment. With other lip fillers, top-offs or repeat treatments are usually needed after 3 to 6 months.
  • A smaller amount of filler is required. For the same improvement in lip fullness, Restylane Kysse requires 15 to 20 percent less filler than lip fillers from other makers.
  • Short procedure. A Restylane Kysse treatment only takes 15 to 30 minutes.
