Restylane® Injections
The Restylane family is one of the most clinically refined and anatomically targeted hyaluronic acid filler systems available in modern cosmetic medicine — and that breadth is its greatest strength. Where most filler brands offer one or two formulations, Restylane comprises a full lineup of products engineered for specific anatomical areas and depths: Restylane original for moderate folds, Lyft for cheek and hand volume, Silk for delicate lip lines, Kysse for lip enhancement with natural texture, Defyne for deep facial folds with movement support, Refyne for natural-looking smile lines, and Contour for sculpted cheek augmentation. Each formulation has distinct particle size, viscosity, and cross-linking density — characteristics that make one product ideal where another would be inappropriate. Selecting the right Restylane product for the right anatomical concern is the technical key to refined, natural-looking results. Dr. John Anastasatos at Los Angeles Plastic Surgery offers Restylane injections at his Beverly Hills office across the full Restylane family.
Dr. Anastasatos brings exceptional credentials to Restylane filler treatment. He has delivered formal academic lectures at the UAB Kirklin Clinic on “Botox and Chemical Peels” — direct teaching credentials in injectable cosmetic treatment. He has been an invited lecturer at the Royal Society of Medicine in London on advanced facial aesthetic surgical techniques, with an invited 2026 return as featured speaker — among the most distinguished international academic platforms in plastic surgery. With over two decades of facial cosmetic expertise in Beverly Hills since 2007, he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.
How Restylane Works
Restylane products are made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid — the same naturally occurring substance the body produces to maintain skin volume, hydration, and elasticity. As skin ages, natural hyaluronic acid declines, contributing to fine lines, deeper folds, and lost contour. Restylane replaces that lost hyaluronic acid through precise injection, immediately restoring volume and refining contour.
Beyond the immediate filler effect, Restylane stimulates the body’s own collagen production at the injection site. This collagen response extends results beyond the duration of the filler itself — and is one reason patients often see progressively better results with maintenance treatments over time.
All Restylane products are reversible with hyaluronidase if correction is needed.
Areas of the Face Each Restylane Product Treats Best
The Restylane family includes specific products for specific applications:
- Restylane (Original): Moderate-to-deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, perioral lines, lip enhancement
- Restylane Lyft: Cheek augmentation and contouring, deep nasolabial folds, hand rejuvenation (FDA-approved for hands), midface volumizing
- Restylane Silk: Fine lip lines, subtle lip refinement, delicate areas requiring smooth texture
- Restylane Kysse: Lip enhancement with refined texture and natural color integration — designed specifically for lips
- Restylane Defyne: Deeper nasolabial folds and marionette lines in expressive areas — engineered to maintain natural movement
- Restylane Refyne: Moderate nasolabial folds and smile lines requiring soft, natural-looking correction
- Restylane Contour: Sculpted cheek augmentation with structural support — comparable to Juvéderm Voluma in indication
- Restylane Eyelight (where available): Tear trough correction for the under-eye hollow
- Restylane Skin Boosters: Skin hydration and quality enhancement rather than directional volumizing
Choosing the right product is what separates a refined Restylane result from a poor one. Dr. Anastasatos selects the appropriate Restylane formulation based on the area being treated, the depth of placement needed, and the desired duration of correction.
What to Expect From a Restylane Treatment
- In-office treatment — typically 15 to 45 minutes depending on areas treated
- Lidocaine pre-mixed — most modern Restylane products contain lidocaine for patient comfort
- Immediate visible volume — final settling occurs over 1 to 2 weeks
- Duration: 6 months to 18 months depending on product and area
- Mild swelling, redness, or pinpoint bruising — typical and resolves within 1 to 3 days
- Reversible with hyaluronidase — if correction is needed
