What is Restylane Refyne?
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.
The Miracle of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid might be a scary name for a substance, but don't be alarmed. There's plenty of it in your body.
And not only is it keeping your skin moist, it's also helping deliver nutrients to that skin to ensure healthy collagen production.
So it's no wonder that we use it as a dermal filler. Many consumers think fillers are just static substances used to volumize the face, but that's not true.
When hyaluronic acid is used as an injectable, it facilitates the processes that keep the skin looking radiant and healthy.
So what does Refyne and it's patented XpresHAN technology add?
XpresHAN? What's that?
While dermal fillers already make the face look more radiant and youthful in a natural looking way, Refyne takes it to the next level. By using cross-linking XpresHAN technology, the filler, made up of hyaluronic acid, is 'held together' like a flexible net.
Thus it provides support to your face, but also stays flexible enough to allow a full and natural range of emotion. Because dermal fillers are oftentimes used by individuals who exacerbate wrinkles due to highly expressive faces, this is especially useful.
Now you can show that thousand watt smile in all its radiance, without the fear of smile lines that usually come with a theatrical face.
Between Refyne and Defyne, Refyne is the more flexible of the two, while Defyne provides more support.

| FAQs | What is Restylane Refyne for? As you age, your facial skin begins to lose its elasticity and volume. As a result, your “laugh lines”, the creases that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth, become more pronounced. Restylane Refyne injectable gel is designed to temporarily help counter this by smoothing out these wrinkles and folds and restoring a natural, soft look to your face. Restylane Refyne has been shown to maintain this effect for up to 12 months. How is Restylane Refyne used? Restylane Refyne is injected into the facial skin through a small needle to smooth facial wrinkles and folds (laugh lines), resulting in a more youthful appearance of the skin. For most patients, the procedure only takes 15 – 30 minutes How was Restylane Refyne Studied? Restylane Refyne was tested to ensure that it worked properly (effective) and was safe to use, in 170 patients before it was approved for use in all patients. These patients included 160 women, 10 men, and were from various ethnic groups with multiple skin tones (pale to dark skin). Each of these patients expressed desire to improve the appearance of their facial wrinkles and folds (laugh lines). What will Restylane Refyne do for me? Restylane Refyne temporarily reduces signs of aging on your face by smoothing the wrinkles and folds that form around your nose and extend down to the corners of your mouth (laugh lines). This natural, smooth look should last for up to 12 months. What side effects were seen in the clinical study? In the study of Restylane Refyne, most patients reported the following side effects at the site where they received the injection:
Most patients said their side effects were mild, short-lived and did not require them to call their doctor. These patients said that their side effects disappeared within 1-2 weeks. |
