What is Restylane Kysse?
Restylane Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler designed specifically for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral wrinkles. Developed using XpresHAn Technology™, it offers a balance between flexibility and structure, ensuring natural movement and expression while enhancing lip volume, texture, and color.
Composition and Mechanism of Action of Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse consists of a cross-linked HA gel with optimal viscosity and elasticity for lip enhancement. The unique XpresHAn Technology™ modifies the gel structure to integrate seamlessly into the lip tissue, allowing for smooth, natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, attracts and retains moisture, contributing to long-lasting hydration and volume.

Restylane Kysse is indicated for:
- Lip augmentation in individuals seeking enhanced volume and definition.
- Correction of moderate to severe perioral lines (smoker’s lines).
- Improvement of lip texture and natural lip color.
