A Guide To Restylane Kysse: The Newest, Longest-Lasting Lip Filler

If you are someone who loves the plush, pillowy look lip fillers give your pout, you’re going to love everything the latest filler on the market has to offer. Restylane Kysse is an incredibly unique filler specifically designed to enhance lip volume and minimize the appearance of fine lines above the mouth. It quickly integrates into the skin, allowing for a more natural expression vs. the firmer, more structured look of many traditional fillers. 

What Is Restylane Kysse?

Restylane Kysse is the first and only FDA-approved lip filler to use XpresHAn (expression)Technology ™ which changes how hyaluronic acid binds inside your lips. Kysse feels and looks more natural because it moves with your lips as you talk, smile or kiss, eliminating the heavy, uncomfortable feeling of a foreign substance in your lips so often felt with other fillers.  

Who Can Receive Restylane Kysse Injections?

Restylane Kysse injections have been FDA cleared for any adult over the age of 21 years. 

Where Can It Be Injected?

This FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler can be successfully injected into the lip area to achieve plump and luscious lips lasting up to a year, all while maintaining your natural look. A significantly lower amount of Restylane Kysse is needed to improve lip fullness compared to traditional fillers as a bonus. You should wait at least two weeks after your initial injection to allow the filler to settle fully and to swell to resolve before determining if more Restylane Kysse is necessary to achieve your desired look.

Are Restylane Kysse Lip Injections Painful?

Like all current hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, a Restylane Kysse syringe includes 1ml of lidocaine used to numb the injection site. While the discomfort experienced during dermal filler injections varies from person to person, most patients describe the entire process as very tolerable with minimal discomfort.  Factors that may impact your comfort level during injections include:  

• Type of numbing agent used
• Your own sensitivity and pain tolerance
• Your injection date relative to your menstrual cycle (women)
• Your provider’s injection technique and experience level 
• Your expectation of discomfort
• Your anxiety level

Are There Any Immediate Side Effects?

Side effects are almost always expected with any injections, and lip augmentation is no exception. Restylane Kysse is the best filler option for plump lips as it causes the least amount of swelling compared to other dermal fillers on the market. Common temporary side effects include bruising, nodules, hypersensitivity, redness, and swelling at the injection site. Potential side effects for any treatment are always thoroughly discussed during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect during and after your treatment. 

Can I get Restylane Kysse Injections If I Already Have Dermal Fillers?

There are no restrictions on mixing different dermal fillers, which allows you to try new products as they become available. However, you may experience different side effects and recovery time with each brand. The staff at Vein & Laser Institute will help you find the ideal filler combination to meet your beauty goals.

What Maintenance Is Involved With Lip Injections?

In general, we recommend returning for lip augmentation maintenance every 4 to 6 months to keep your lips looking as natural and plump as they were after your initial injections. However, some studies show Restalyne Kysse results can last up to one year.  Vein & Laser Institute is here to help you determine whether Restylane Kysse or other dermal fillers are right for you.
