Restylane Fillers

Which Restylane Filler Formula Is Right for Me?

Dermal fillers have transformed facial rejuvenation, offering non-surgical solutions for volume loss, wrinkles, and contour enhancement that deliver immediate, natural-looking results. And the Restylane family of facial filler formulas is among the most versatile filler families available, with multiple specialized formulations designed for specific facial areas and concerns. At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, our board-certified dermatologists help patients understand the Restylane product line to select the ideal formula for their unique aesthetic goals and facial anatomy.

Understanding the differences between Restylane formulations empowers patients to participate meaningfully in treatment planning conversations. Each product in the Restylane family uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, but with varying particle sizes, cross-linking patterns, and consistencies that make each formula optimal for specific applications. Choosing the right Restylane product for each treatment area ensures the most natural-looking, longest-lasting results.

Restylane Original for Versatile Facial Enhancement

The original Restylane formula remains one of the most versatile fillers available, suitable for multiple facial applications where moderate volume and structure are needed. This foundational product effectively corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles including nasolabial folds and marionette lines while also providing general volume enhancement to the lips. According to the FDA, Restylane has an excellent safety profile established through decades of use worldwide.

Restylane’s balanced consistency makes it adaptable to various treatment areas and injection depths. It provides enough structure to smooth deeper folds while remaining soft enough to feel natural in mobile areas like the lips. This versatility has made original Restylane a staple in dermatological practices for patients seeking reliable improvement in common aging concerns.

Our board-certified Manhattan dermatologists at Goldenberg Dermatology often recommend original Restylane for patients new to dermal fillers or those seeking straightforward correction of nasolabial folds and lip enhancement.

Restylane-L for Comfortable Injection Experience

Restylane-L incorporates lidocaine directly into the filler formulation, providing local anesthesia during injection for a more comfortable treatment experience. This enhanced version can be used throughout the face including cheeks, nasolabial folds, and tear troughs to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours. The integrated lidocaine eliminates the need for separate numbing injections in most cases.

The comfort advantage of Restylane-L makes it particularly appealing for patients who are sensitive to injection discomfort or who are treating larger areas requiring multiple injection sites. The filler properties are identical to original Restylane, meaning patients receive the same proven performance with enhanced comfort during the procedure.

At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, our board-certified dermatologists frequently choose Restylane-L when treating multiple facial areas or for patients who prefer the most comfortable injection experience possible.

Restylane Kysse for Natural Lip Augmentation

Restylane Kysse was specifically engineered for lip augmentation using innovative XpresHAn Technology that creates a softer, more flexible filler ideal for this highly mobile facial area. The specialized formulation improves lip shape, color, and smoothness while allowing completely natural movement and expression. Unlike firmer fillers that can make lips appear stiff or unnatural, Restylane Kysse maintains the lips’ natural feel and function.

The flexibility of Restylane Kysse is particularly important in the lips, where constant movement during speaking, eating, and expressing emotions places unique demands on filler materials. Rigid fillers can create visible lumps or unnatural stiffness, while Kysse’s engineered flexibility integrates seamlessly with lip tissue for results that look and feel authentic.

Our board-certified dermatologists at Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan recommend Restylane Kysse for patients seeking lip enhancement that looks natural at rest and maintains beautiful appearance during full expression and movement.

Restylane Silk for Lips and Perioral Lines

Restylane Silk uses smaller, smoother particles than other Restylane formulations, specifically designed for lip augmentation and smoothing fine lines around the mouth. The refined consistency creates subtle enhancement and natural-looking results in areas where precision matters most. This makes Restylane Silk ideal for patients seeking modest lip enhancement or treatment of the vertical lip lines sometimes called smoker’s lines.

The smaller particle size of Restylane Silk allows for precise placement and smooth integration with the delicate tissue of the lips and perioral area. Results appear natural rather than overdone, with soft enhancement that improves appearance without dramatically changing facial proportions. For patients concerned about looking overfilled or artificial, Silk’s subtle enhancement offers an excellent option.

At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, our board-certified dermatologists often recommend Restylane Silk for patients seeking refined lip enhancement or treatment of fine perioral lines requiring smooth, precise correction.

Restylane Lyft for Cheeks and Hand Rejuvenation

Restylane Lyft features a more robust formulation designed to provide significant lifting capacity in areas requiring substantial volume restoration. This powerful filler effectively augments cheeks, corrects midface volume loss, and is the only FDA-approved filler for adding volume to the backs of the hands. The firmer consistency projects well and maintains shape in areas requiring structural support.

Cheek augmentation with Restylane Lyft restores the youthful midface fullness that diminishes with age, creating a more lifted, refreshed appearance. By replacing volume in the cheeks, Lyft can also indirectly improve the appearance of nasolabial folds and jowls by restoring the facial scaffolding that supports lower face structures.

Hand rejuvenation with Restylane Lyft addresses the visible veins, tendons, and bony appearance that make aging hands appear older than the face. Replacing lost volume in the hands creates smoother, more youthful-looking dorsal surfaces that better match rejuvenated facial appearance.

Our board-certified Manhattan dermatologists at Goldenberg Dermatology use Restylane Lyft for patients requiring significant volume restoration in the cheeks or seeking hand rejuvenation to complement facial treatments.

Restylane Defyne for Deep Lines and Chin Enhancement

Restylane Defyne is formulated to address deep laugh lines while providing structural support for chin augmentation and midface enhancement. The cross-linking technology creates a gel that maintains shape under stress while still allowing natural facial expressions. This balance of structure and flexibility makes Defyne ideal for areas requiring both support and movement.

Chin augmentation with Restylane Defyne can strengthen weak chins, improve profile balance, and enhance overall facial proportions without surgery. The filler provides the firmness necessary to project the chin forward while integrating naturally with surrounding tissue. For patients with deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines, Defyne offers robust correction that lasts.

At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, our board-certified dermatologists recommend Restylane Defyne for patients with deeper facial folds requiring substantial correction or those seeking non-surgical chin enhancement.

Restylane Refyne for Natural Expression Preservation

Restylane Refyne is designed to soften moderate to severe laugh lines while maintaining completely natural facial expressions. Using the same XpresHAn Technology as Kysse, Refyne offers flexibility that prevents the stiff, frozen appearance that can occur with less advanced fillers. This makes it particularly suitable for treating dynamic areas of the face where expression matters.

The balance Refyne achieves between correction and naturalness appeals to patients who want improvement without looking “done” or losing their characteristic expressions. Smile lines and nasolabial folds smooth while the face retains its full range of natural movement and emotion.

Our board-certified dermatologists at Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan often choose Restylane Refyne for patients prioritizing natural expression alongside wrinkle correction.

Restylane Contour for Cheek Definition

Restylane Contour is specifically designed to restore natural-looking volume and shape to the cheeks and midface. The formulation creates smooth, natural contours that enhance facial structure without appearing overfilled or artificial. For patients seeking cheek enhancement that looks like naturally youthful fullness rather than obvious augmentation, Contour offers an excellent option.

The consistency of Restylane Contour allows it to integrate smoothly with cheek tissue while providing the lift and projection needed for meaningful improvement. Results appear as naturally enhanced facial structure rather than added filler, which many patients prefer for subtle, elegant rejuvenation.

At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, our board-certified dermatologists frequently recommend Restylane Contour for patients seeking cheek enhancement that prioritizes natural appearance and smooth integration.

Restylane Eyelight for Undereye Rejuvenation

Restylane Eyelight represents a breakthrough as the first FDA-approved filler specifically designed for the undereye area. This specialized formulation treats hollows, reduces the appearance of dark circles, and smooths fine lines in the delicate tear trough region. The specific FDA approval for undereye use reflects extensive safety and efficacy testing in this sensitive area.

The undereye area requires particular expertise and appropriate products due to thin skin and complex anatomy. Eyelight’s specialized formulation is designed to minimize risks like the Tyndall effect, where filler appears bluish through thin skin. This purpose-designed product provides safer, more predictable results in undereye treatment.

Our board-certified dermatologists at Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan use Restylane Eyelight for patients seeking undereye rejuvenation with a product specifically designed and FDA-approved for this delicate area.
