Restylane® is a family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers, each formulated to address specific areas of the face and body. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture in the skin, restoring fullness and softening the appearance of lines and folds.
The Restylane® family includes specialized products that allow Dr. Ayala to tailor treatment precisely to each patient’s concerns and anatomy.
Designed for the lips and fine lines around the mouth. Restylane® Silk adds subtle definition and volume to naturally thin or age-related volume-depleted lips. Results last up to six months.
Used to restore volume to the cheeks and rejuvenate the hands. Restylane® Lyft provides lift and fullness in areas prone to significant volume loss. Results last up to 12 months.
Formulated for moderate to severe marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Restylane® Defyne softens deeper lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Results last up to 12 months.
An advanced filler for marionette lines and nasolabial folds, Restylane® Refyne is designed to move naturally with facial expressions for a result that looks and feels authentic. Results last up to 12 months.
Restylane® is administered using a cannula, which allows for more precise, even distribution of the filler gel compared to a standard needle. Dr. Ayala deposits the product carefully along the targeted areas to build natural-looking volume and contour. Appointments are completed in 15 to 30 minutes with no downtime required.
Restylane® requires no recovery time. Results are visible immediately as the filler adds lift and volume to the treated area. Some patients experience minor bruising, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment sites, which typically resolves within a day or two. Longevity varies by product and area, ranging from 6 to 12 months.
Both are hyaluronic acid filler families, but they differ in formulation and texture, which makes each better suited to certain areas and concerns. Dr. Ayala will recommend the right product based on your specific goals during your consultation.
Restylane® is well-tolerated by most patients because hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body. Dr. Ayala will review your history with any prior fillers or cosmetic treatments during your consultation to confirm it is the right fit for you.
Yes. Restylane® Lyft is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and can restore a more youthful appearance to hands that have lost volume and show prominent veins or tendons with age.
