Restylane Defyne

This service is available in:

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and volume. This can make the lines that run alongside the nose and face (nasolabial folds “laugh lines” and marionette lines) to become more pronounced. Furthermore, it can cause the chin to recede creating a weak chin and an imbalance of facial features. Some experiencing these unfortunate signs of aging are more than happy to seek surgical solutions such a facelift or chin implants. But for those not quite ready to go under the knife, there is an alternative: Restylane Defyne.

Restylane Defyne provides a solution for deep wrinkles and folds caused by lost volume and can improve chin projection by correcting mild-to-moderate chin retrusion. Plus, with XpresHAn Technology, results look even more natural without affecting facial movement or expressions. In a recent study of 63 treated subjects, 95% said they maintained or enhanced their natural facial expressions.

How do hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Restylane Defyne work?

Injectable chin fillers like Restylane Defyne are made from a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Your skin actually depends on HA to maintain its elasticity and flexibility as well as to stay hydrated since HA is excellent at retaining water. As we age, your skin begins to produce less and less HA causing skin to lose its elasticity and create deep folds and wrinkles and hollow pockets. The gel is injected beneath the skin’s surface to smooth out these lines and wrinkles and restore lost volume. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, it’s perfectly safe to use even if you’re nursing or pregnant. So long as you are over the age of 21 and seek to correct deep laugh lines or a receding chin, anyone is a candidate for Restylane Defyne injectable fillers.

It addresses:

  • Deep laugh lines
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Enhances chin projection

Restylane Defyne injections at Artemedica

The entire injection process is quite straightforward and fast. Before your injections, Dr. Lacombe or one of our other trained clinicians will provide local anesthesia to ease discomfort. It will take some time for the anesthetic to kick in, but afterwards you should feel minimal to no pain. Your provider will then ease the dermal filler under your skin to smooth out any targeted wrinkles and folds, instantly increasing volume. Following your injection, Your provider may massage the treated areas to evenly distribute the dermal filler and minimize any bruising or swelling. The whole procedure should take no more than 15-30 minutes depending on the size and scope of the areas to be treated.

If you do feel any discomfort or anxiety before or during your treatment, you can always ask your provider about PRO-NOX.

Recovery after your injection treatment

After your treatment ends, you can return to your daily routine with minimal recovery and very little downtime. Some patients experience swelling, bruising and redness at the injection site(s), but this should dissipate within a few days. If you experience any discomfort, apply an ice pack to the treated areas.

Because Restylane is an injectable filler and not a neurotoxin like BOTOX, results are immediate and long-lasting. Typically, results last up to 12 months with optimal treatment, although results vary from patient to patient.

Roderic Wallace Trusts Dr. Victor Lacombe

“Probably one of Dr. Lacombe’s greatest assets is his intuitive understanding of what it takes to create a very natural yet aesthetically pleasing result. In my case, a brow lift opened up my eyes, a subtle lift to the tip of my drooping nose dealt with the negative effects of gravity, a small chin implant balanced a newly sculpted neck and stronger jaw line… yes, a number of procedures done at one time, but oh so worth it in the long run. I can enthusiastically endorse Victor as one of the finest plastic surgeons around.*”
