What Is Restylane?

Restylane® has earned its reputation as one of the most established names in hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, with a track record spanning decades of use in facial rejuvenation. At Arc Medical Aesthetics, we use Restylane to help patients regain a fuller, more refreshed appearance—without surgery, without significant downtime, and with results you can see the moment treatment is complete.

From softening deep-set lines to sculpting cheek and jaw contours, Restylane’s range of formulations means your treatment plan can be built entirely around your face and your goals.

Hyaluronic acid is already present in your skin, where it binds water molecules to keep tissue hydrated and full. Collagen and HA production both taper off with age, which is a big part of why cheeks hollow, lines deepen, and skin loses its bounce over time.

Restylane replenishes what’s been lost. Once injected, it integrates into the treatment area, drawing in moisture and rebuilding structure beneath the skin’s surface. Patients typically notice smoother texture, restored volume, and softened lines right away.

Restylane is also biocompatible, meaning the body recognizes and tolerates it well—and if a patient’s needs or preferences change, the results can be reversed using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks the filler down safely.


Because it comes in several distinct formulations, Restylane can be tailored to nearly any area of the face, including:

  • Lips (fuller shape and definition)
  • Smile lines and marionette lines
  • Cheeks (lift and volume)
  • Chin and jawline Under-eye hollows and tear troughs
  • General volume restoration across the mid- and lower face

Your provider will recommend the specific Restylane product—or combination of products—best suited to the area being treated and the look you’re going for.


Not all Restylane formulas are built the same. The collection includes options like Restylane Lyft® for deeper volume and cheek contouring, Restylane Silk® for lip and fine-line treatment, Restylane Refyne® and Restylane Defyne® for flexible, natural movement in smile lines, Restylane Kysse® for lip enhancement, and Restylane Contour® for cheek definition.

This range is what allows Restylane treatments to feel so customized, rather than a one-size-fits-all filler, each formulation is engineered for a specific texture, depth, and area of the face.


  • Results appear immediately
  • Natural look and feel, even with movement and expression
  • Treatments are quick, typically completed in one visit Downtime is minimal to none
  • Effects last several months to over a year, depending on the product and area
  • Fully customizable based on your facial anatomy and goals
  • Reversible, for added peace of mind
