RESTYLANE® DEFYNE in Baltimore, MD

What is Restylane® Defyne?

Restylane® Defyne is dermal filler used to address aging facial skin, specifically deep wrinkles and volume loss. Because of its robust nature, it is perfect for larger areas that need volumizing such as temples, cheeks, and hands.

Am I a Candidate for Restylane® Defyne?

Restylane Defyne is FDA-approved for anyone 21 and over who have mild-to-moderate wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. If you have nasolabial folds and marionette lines that bother you, and you’re in relatively good health, then you are likely a candidate for treatment.

Patients with severe allergies, a history of anaphylaxis, or who are allergic to ingredients in Restylane Defyne should not receive treatment. Women who are pregnant or nursing should also avoid dermal filler treatments. Certain medications may also prohibit use of Restylane Defyne; this is why it’s important to provide your Aesthetic Injection Specialist with a full medical history. Restylane Defyne is used to:

• Fill in nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth
• Smooth marionette lines, the wrinkles that form between the corners of the mouth and the chin and jawline
• Address mild-to-moderate wrinkles and folds
• Provide facial rejuvenation in the lower face around the mouth

How does Restylane® Defyne Work?

Restylane Defyne is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel that provides smooth results in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Galderma’s XpresHAn technology customizes the hyaluronic acid particles to cross-link with each other, providing a degree of flexibility and smoothness not found in many other fillers.



Before administering any injectable filler treatment, your Aesthetic Injection Specialist will perform a consultation where we will go over your aging concerns, expectations, and medical history. After determining that you are a good candidate for treatment, we will schedule your Restylane Defyne procedure. Topical numbing or ice may be used, but isn’t necessary as the injectable filler contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Your Aesthetic Injection Specialist will perform a series of injections using a fine-gauge needle into the treatment area. They will then mold and shape the filler for best results. After treatment, ice can be applied to help with swelling.

What Can I Expect from Restylane® Defyne Session?

Before your procedure, we will determine which injectable and how much product will provide the best outcome. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes and will involve a series of injections into the desired areas. Because of the infused lidocaine, the procedure is virtually painless. However, we do have a number of pain reducing methods you can choose from to further minimize discomfort.

Does Restylane® Defyne has Side Effects?

After your treatment, you may experience side effects, such as swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache and itching at injection site and tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14-18 days in lips. Patients should be limited to 6.0 mL per treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years.

How long Restylane® Defyne Last?

No two patients are alike, and everyone metabolizes injectables differently. However, during clinical trials, the results of Restylane Defyne lasted up to 12 months in over 65% of patients. Over 70% of patients continued to see results after 6 months.

How Much Does Restylane® Defyne Cost?

The cost of Restylane® Defyne will depend on each patient and their particular needs. All costs will be discussed during your personal consultation.
