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.
