Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler designed specifically for lip plumping and shaping. It contains proprietary cross linking technology that allows for more natural movement of the lips after treatment. The filler tends to last longer than other lip fillers, with improvements extending up to one year.
The board-certified physicians at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York have expertise in all types of injectables. Their experience and knowledge ensure that every treatment is individualized to a patient’s precise needs for the best possible result. Our physicians have also participated in many of the clinical trials for these products. We are leaders in the field of cosmetic dermatology and use more fillers than any other practice in the world.
How does Restylane Kysse Work?
Like other dermal fillers, Kysse is made of hyaluronic acid (HA). Although HA is called an acid, it is actually a type of sugar that our bodies make to retain moisture in our skin and other tissues. Over time, HA levels diminish, leading to skin dryness and laxity.
Galderma developed a proprietary XpresHAn Technology™ that joins the HA strands with a cross-linking substance called BDDE (butanediol diglycidyl ether) to provide both firmness and softness. As a comparison, Restylane Defyne — which is used to fill in deep folds, such as marionette lines — features an 8% cross-link. Restylane Refyne — which is used to fill fine lines, and does not have as much as structure as Defyne — features a 6% cross-link.
The 7% cross-link in Kysse gives it the structure and mobility of Defyne, with the soft and pliable characteristics of Refyne. The result is quite natural-looking and typically more durable than other HA lip fillers.
Benefits of Kysse
Kysse’s unique structure lets you create fuller lips that feel natural and soft. You can also use Kysse to smooth out the fine lines around your lips, known as the perioral lines. Kysse can offer:
- Fuller lips
- More shapely lips
- Improved lip symmetry
- Enhanced lip texture
- Longer-lasting results
Another advantage of Kysse is that you need almost 20% less product to achieve similar results to other fillers, which is a benefit for individuals inquiring about filler prices and the duration of their results. To learn more about dermal fillers, visit ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Do Restylane Kysse Injections Hurt?
Restylane Kysse is injected using a very fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. As with other Restylane products we use in our Manhattan and Southamton offices, Kysse contains the anesthetic lidocaine, to enhance your comfort throughout your procedure. Most patients find the procedure to be quick and relatively comfortable. If you are concerned about discomfort during treatment, talk to your doctor about the application of a topical numbing cream before your procedure begins.

When Will I See Results?
You see the results of your Kysse injections as soon as your treatment is over. You may experience slight swelling after the procedure, but this side effect usually subsides within a day or two. Restylane Kysse has been shown to produce results that last up to one year.
How Long is the Recovery Time After Treatment?
Most patients return to regular activities immediately following their Kysse treatment. Any mild swelling that occurs should not be overly noticeable. Sometimes a bruise occurs because of the needle’s contact with the skin. Our doctors also provide options after your procedure, including laser and topical treatments, to minimize bruising.
