structure, try
Restylane® DEFYNE™
and Restylane® LYFT™
Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ are fillers that give good support, to provide long-lasting shape, structure and definition to areas such as your chin and jawline.1,2 Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT help you sharpen up your look while remaining true to yourself.
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 towards the back of the jaw. 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 an 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 chin, or reducing the appearance of wrinkles.2-4 If you have a thinner tissue coverage, Restylane® DEFYNE™ could be preferred as it is slightly softer and more flexible.
Treatments with Restylane® DEFYNE™ can last up to 1 year.5* Restylane® LYFT™ can last up to 24 months with one retreatment at 12 months.6^

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 optimise your results. 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 injection-related 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 our 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 and loss of youthful volume.
Native hyaluronic acid in the body degrades quickly, in one to two days. To make the hyaluronic acid in Restylane® last longer, Galderma has used stabilisation technologies that delay degradation; where Restylane® DEFYNE™ can last up to a year5, and Restylane® LYFT™ for up to two years with one retreatment2*. Restylane® DEFYNE™ and Restylane® LYFT™ contain hyaluronic acid gels that provide good support to maintain structure and projection.
Restylane® was the first ever non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid filler when it was launched in 1996, a brand that has the longest history on the market compared to other other hyaluronic acid dermal filler brands.

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 optimise the results.
Is the treatment painful?
Some people may experience mild discomfort. 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 treatment with Restylane fillers?
Ask your healthcare practitioner if you will benefit from treatment with any of the hyaluronic acid products within the Restylane range. It is important when discussing your medical history to tell your practitioner everything, including all medicines (which includes all prescription medicines, medicines you may purchase over the counter or at your supermarket as well as any dietary supplements) 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?
Patients with a known allergy to streptococcal proteins, lidocaine, local anaesthetics, and hyaluronic acid based products should not undergo treatment. Patients with bleeding disorders, or active skin disease such as inflammation, infection or tumours in or near the area to be treated, are also not suitable for Restylane treatment. Discuss contraindications, warnings and precautions with your healthcare practitioner before Restylane filler treatments. Restylane is not indicated for use in people under the age of 18 years.
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 aftercare instructions. 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.
