Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid filler, FDA-approved for lip injections. It is created using Galderma’s proprietary XpresHAn (aka “expression”) technology, which allows it to integrate and mold into your tissue, meaning it is not stiff and feels more natural in the lips. The result is a softer, more beautiful look. Restylane Kysse plumps and hydrates the lips and treats wrinkles around the mouth.
Why Patients Choose Restylane Kysse:
It provides beautiful definition, balanced volume, and a smooth, natural feel to the lips, without making them look or feel stiff. It is also FDA-approved to improve lines above and below the lips (perioral rhytids) in adults over 21.

- Neuromodulators
- SkinVive
- Replenix Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Serum

How is Restylane Kysse different from Juvéderm® Ultra XC?
Both fillers can enhance the lips, but they offer slightly different characteristics. Patients often choose Restylane Kysse for its soft feel, natural movement, and refined definition, while Juvéderm Ultra XC is often selected when more noticeable fullness and volume are desired. During your consultation, Michelle will recommend the filler that best aligns with your goals and facial anatomy.

Many patients enjoy results for 6-12 months, although longevity varies based on the individual and the amount of filler used.
Will my lips still feel natural?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Restylane Kysse is its flexible formulation, which is designed to move naturally with your lips while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
Does Restylane Kysse hurt?
Restylane Kysse contains lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment. Most patients describe the injections as causing only mild discomfort.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or redness may occur and generally improves within several days.
