For contour, shape and
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 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.
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 to two weeks after injection. Other potential side effects can occur with dermal filler injections. Serious side effects are uncommon, but may occur. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner.
