The lips and the lines around the mouth, like other areas of the face, show signs of aging as you get older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and an increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these particular areas by using smaller, smoother particles than those used in other Restylane® products.
Everyone’s facial structure is different — and so is everyone’s ideal lip shape and size. Silk is designed to provide precise lip shaping and line control, resulting in silkier, smoother lips and natural-looking results. Find your ideal lip shape and talk with Dr. Samuels and her nurse providers about how Restylane® Silk can help you achieve the look you want.
In a clinical study of patients treated with Restylane® Silk or no treatment, clinical investigators reported:
• 77% of patients treated with Restylane® Silk showed at least a one-point improvement in lip fullness (measured on a 5-point scale).
• 59% of patients treated with Restylane® Silk maintained lip fullness six months after treatment.
In the same clinical study, patients treated with Restylane® Silk reported fast-acting, long-lasting results:
• 98 % of patients reported a visible improvement in lip fullness 14 days after injection.
• 76% of patients still had lip improvement six months following injection.
As with any other hyaluronic acid gel injected into the lips, the most common side effects are swelling, redness, pain, bruising or tenderness.

• Natural-looking results and a more youthful-looking appearance.
• Results that are clinically proven to last up to 12 months in the cheeks, and up to 6 months in facial wrinkles and hands.
• Relatively quick procedure with little or no downtime.
• Formulated with lidocaine which numbs the treatment area, and helps reduce pain and discomfort at the injection site.
Restylane Lyft is one of the most versatile products in the Restylane portfolio and is FDA-approved to treat five areas – the midface/cheek area, nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth), oral commissures (lines at the corner of the mouth), marionette lines (vertical lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin), and most recently, the back of the hands.
Formerly known as Perlane-L®, the product has been available worldwide for more than 10 years, with a proven record of safety and efficacy.

Restylane® Kysse is a new hyaluronic acid (HA) lip filler designed to enhance lip volume and minimize the appearance of fine lines above the mouth. It has also been shown to improve texture and lip color.
Restylane Kysse is the first HA lip filler formulated with XpresHAn Technology™ for smooth, natural-looking results, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The XpresHAn Technology™ manufacturing process allows for a gel that integrates into the skin for natural expression in motion.
Clinical results from multiple studies show that treatment with Restylane Kysse can provide added volume in the lips and improve the appearance of lines above the mouth, with results lasting for up to 11 months after the last injection.
Restylane Kysse is injected into the lips and the lines around the upper lip to temporarily add fullness to the lips and help smooth the wrinkles around the upper lip (perioral lines) in patients over the age of 21.
It’s made with XpresHAn Technology™, an innovative crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) gel created for precise, natural-looking results. With the ideal balance of flexibility, support, and a natural feel, you can maintain a full range of expressions.
