Restylane is Galderma's family of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers. Its formulations — Kysse and Silk for lips, Lyft and Contour for cheeks, Defyne and Refyne for folds — restore volume and contour with natural movement. Results are immediate, last 6 months to over a year, and are reversible with hyaluronidase.
Restylane is Galderma's line of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and one of the longest-established filler brands. Its range covers lips and fine lines (Kysse, Silk), cheeks and midface (Lyft, Contour), and dynamic folds (Defyne, Refyne) — the latter built with flexible 'XpresHAn' technology designed to move naturally with expression. Results are immediate and last from 6 months to over a year depending on the product.
For a practice, Restylane gives injectors a full toolkit to match gel firmness to each area and patient, and its natural-movement formulations are a strong selling point for patients worried about looking 'done.' Previewing the projected, expressive result on the patient's own photo and framing it within a staged plan is what converts consults and grows ticket across multiple syringes.

Both are hyaluronic acid filler families. Restylane gels tend to be slightly firmer and are known for natural movement (especially the Defyne/Refyne line), while Juvéderm gels are smoother and softer. Providers choose based on the area and desired feel.
Restylane Kysse is formulated specifically for lips, adding color and natural movement, while Silk is used for subtle lip definition and fine lines around the mouth.
Around 6–12 months for lip products and up to 18 months for structural cheek and jaw fillers like Lyft and Contour.
