What is Restylane Defyne?
If you know anything about cosmetic treatments, you know that dermal fillers are one of the most effective, flexible and affordable treatments you can get.
The new Restylane products of Refyne and Defyne are innovative iterations upon this product, with slight differences in their respective formulations to provide different results.
Why We Volumize Our Face
At the age of 25, our face stops producing the collagen that keeps us looking perpetually young. Even worse, at age 30, we start losing enough volume in collagen that the fissures that have been forming the last years start becoming noticeable wrinkles.
That's where dermal fillers come in.
By simply replacing the volume in the face with substances the body already produces--such as hyaluronic acid--we can bring back the volume in the face that we once had.
In fact, we can even add volume to places that previously were lacking in volume, sometimes due to genetic predispositions.
The fact that hyaluronic acid is a substance that our body loves, because it keeps our skin moist and helps deliver nutrition, makes it an even better deal for our bodies.
Restylane Refyne and Defyne are even better improvements upon this.
Flexibility and Support
Restylane Defyne uses XpresHAN technology to both provide flexibility and support to our faces. Essentially, the hyaluronic acid that is normally used in filler is held together with a cross-linking technology like a semi-taut net.
The end result is that our faces are able to express their full range of emotion, but still having support from the volumizing filler.
Thus, deeper wrinkles are avoided, but there's no loss of expression. Between Restylane Defyne and Refyne, Defyne offers greater support and is of more use to ameliorate deeper wrinkles.
