Restylane Kysse is the newest addition to the popular Restylane line of dermal fillers. Kysse is a clear injectable gel composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar in the human body that is responsible for hydrating and plumping the skin. It does this by binding with nearby water molecules.
Restylane Kysse is specifically meant for use on the lips. Once injected, Kysse adds fullness to the lips and it helps smooth wrinkles on and above the upper lip (perioral or barcode lines).*
Who is a good candidate for Restylane Kysse?
Restylane Kysse is meant to complement Restylane Silk, which was also developed for the lips. Silk is meant to provide more volume, while Kysse is intended to add soft, subtle volume to the lips, while also smoothing wrinkles around the mouth, and enhancing lip color.*
If you don’t like the barcode lines that have formed on your lips and just above them, Kysse is a great option. Kysse provides subtle volume that isn’t showy but is satisfying for patients.* Research has also shown that less Kysse is required to attain the amount of volume increase that patients seek when compared to other fillers.* It is available for patients over the age of 21.
How does Restylane Kysse work?
The secret of Restylane Kysse is what it is made of. Restylane Kysse is made of hyaluronic acid. Your skin naturally produces HA (hyaluronic acid), which is responsible for helping your skin retain moisture and maintain volume. As HA levels decline over time, skin begins to thin, age and form lines and wrinkles.
When gaining FDA approval for Kysse, Galderma was able to show that Kysse provided volume, definition, and color enhancement for up to one year.* This is a marked improvement over other fillers for the lips, which tend to last between 3 and 6 months. This is due to the extensive movements made throughout the day with our lips. The XpresHAn Technology formulated into Kysse handles that movement without degrading.*
