Restylane Collection
Galderma — Lyft · Defyne · Refyne · Kysse · SilkThe Restylane Collection is Galderma's family of hyaluronic acid fillers, each engineered for a specific indication. Lyft for cheek lift, Defyne for deeper laugh lines, Refyne for finer smile lines, Kysse for lip enhancement, and Silk for refined lip and perioral work. Restylane uses NASHA and XpresHAn technologies that flex with facial movement.
Smooth & PreventThe science, plainly.
Crosslinked hyaluronic acid is placed in the dermis or subcutaneous plane. NASHA-stabilised HA (in Lyft, Silk) holds firm structure; XpresHAn-technology HA (in Defyne, Refyne, Kysse) is engineered for dynamic facial expression — stretching and recovering as you smile and speak. HA binds water locally and remains until naturally resorbed over 9 to 18 months.
What to expect in the room.
Topical numbing, then careful microdroplet injection with a fine needle or cannula. Light swelling and possible bruising for 24 to 72 hours. Complimentary two-week settling check.
Avoid heat, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Sleep elevated the first night. Arnica may help with bruising.
The honest timeline.
Individual response varies. What follows is the typical arc we observe in our clinic.
- 01Immediately
Visible result; some early swelling.
- 02Week 2
Filler settles; final result becomes apparent.
- 03Month 9 to 18
Gradual resorption; we plan maintenance ahead of complete loss.
The questions we hear most.
- Restylane or JUVÉDERM — what's the difference?
- Both are excellent HA filler families. Restylane (especially the Refyne, Defyne, Kysse line) is engineered with XpresHAn for movement. JUVÉDERM products vary by Vycross technology and tend to be slightly softer in feel. Your injector selects per area, per anatomy, per result.
- Can Restylane be reversed?
- Yes — all hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. This is a meaningful safety feature.
- Which product is best for lips?
- Kysse is our most common lip product — it is engineered for flex and hold. Silk is for the most refined detail work. Your provider selects based on your starting anatomy and the look you want.
