Restylane is the world’s most used, most studied dermal filler, and has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. Restylane® and Perlane® provide structural support and lift to nasolabial folds. The procedure is non-surgical, and its effects are virtually instantaneous.

Restylane in Los Angeles
Restylane® and Restylane Lyft are approved for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Because Restylane Lyft is composed of larger gel particles, it is intended for deeper injection than Restylane to volumize skin for structural support and lift. Dr. Behroozan can best determine which treatment is right for you.
Restylane® and Restylane Lyft are Different from Botox® Cosmetic
Restylane® and Restylane Lyft are cosmetic dermal fillers injected into the skin to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. In contrast, Botox® Cosmetic is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines between your eyebrows.

Restylane® and Restylane Lyft contain no animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions. Restylane and Restylane Lyft do not require an allergy test and can be administered immediately, so there is no waiting for treatments. Restylane and Restylane Lyft contain trace amounts of gram-positive bacterial proteins and are contraindicated for patients with a history of allergies to such material.
Restylane and Restylane Lyft are crystal-clear, non-animal derived gels that are injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is an instant long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe.

In the time it takes you to shower, you can look years younger. Injections are performed in the office and can be done with little or no topical numbing cream. Treatments last between 15-30 minutes, with absolutely no downtime, and your results will last for approximately 6 months.
Restylane and Restylane Lyft can be used to fill minor to moderate lines and wrinkles, and are very effective around the eyes, nose, and mouth. They can also be used to plump up the lips. Results are natural looking and long lasting.
How Restylane Defyne Works
Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid-based gel used to treat so-called “laugh lines” around the mouth and the nose. The filler is manufactured using the XpressHAn Technology, which ensures better flexibility within your skin. This means that the gel will feel completely natural as you smile, frown or cry and won’t feel stiff at all.Hyaluronic acid (HA) is completely safe and naturally produced by the human body and is also used in other Restylane fillers such as:
- Restylane
- Restylane-L
- Restylane Silk
- Restylane Refyne
Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally found material in human skin, these types of fillers give a very “natural” result and are safe and effective for all patients.
