What Is Restylane Kysse?

Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler made specifically for the lips. HA is a substance found naturally in the body that helps keep skin smooth and hydrated. As we age, we produce less of it—leading to thinner lips or fine lines around the mouth.
Kysse uses a flexible gel called XpresHAn Technology™, which blends easily with your lip tissue and moves with your expressions.

This creates a smooth, natural feel and appearance—without stiffness or an exaggerated look. Many patients also notice less swelling with Kysse compared to other lip fillers, which can make recovery more comfortable.

  1. Hydration Loss Is Identified
    With age, the skin loses hyaluronic acid, causing a breakdown in firmness and elasticity. This often shows up as wrinkles, hollow areas, or sagging in the face.
  2. Restylane Is Strategically Injected
    Using an ultra-fine needle, Restylane’s gel-based HA formula is gently injected into targeted areas of the face—such as the lips, cheeks, or around the mouth—based on your specific aesthetic goals.
  3. Hyaluronic Acid Attracts Moisture
    Once injected, the hyaluronic acid binds with water molecules beneath the skin, naturally plumping the treated area and restoring lost volume.
  4. Skin Appears Smoother and Fuller
    Fine lines are softened, facial contours are enhanced, and the skin takes on a more youthful, refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
  5. Results Settle In Smoothly
    The Restylane formula is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing tissues, offering subtle yet visible improvements that maintain your natural facial expressions.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After Restylane Kysse Lip Filler Treatment

  1. Personalized consultation focused on facial anatomy and goals: Before treatment, you’ll meet with a licensed aesthetic provider to review your goals and discuss options.
  2. We will evaluate your facial anatomy, lip shape, and skin tone to create a plan that complements your features.
  3. You’ll have time to ask questions and share preferences to ensure your results feel personal and aligned with your goals.
  4. The injection usually takes less than 30 minutes. A numbing cream is applied first, followed by precise filler placement using a small needle or cannula.
  5. After your visit, you may experience mild swelling or tenderness for up to 48 hours.
  6. Kysse’s lower risk of swelling is one reason many patients prefer it for a smoother recovery.

How Long Do Restylane Kysse Lip Filler Results Last?

With Kysse, results are visible right away. You’ll leave the appointment with fuller lips, and those results can last up to 10 months, depending on your individual metabolism. Over time, the filler is naturally broken down by the body.

Kysse integrates well with your natural tissue, offering a soft feel and fewer touch-ups than other fillers.

What are the most popular lip filler “looks”

Many patients come in with inspiration from popular lip filler styles that reflect current aesthetic trends. While every treatment is customized, we’re happy to discuss the different looks that can be achieved—whether you’re aiming for a gentle lift or a more sculpted shape.

Here are a few modern styles we frequently get questions about:

  • Lip Flip: A subtle lift that enhances the upper lip’s shape without adding bulk
  • Cupid’s Bow Kiss: Highlights the natural peaks of the upper lip for definition
  • Cherry Lips or Keyhole Pout: Creates softness and volume in the center of the lips for a youthful, balanced look

 

These trends can be adapted based on your facial features and preferences. 

Part of a Thoughtful Aesthetic Plan

Carolina Vein Care offers physician-led aesthetic treatments, with every recommendation tailored to your goals—whether you want lip filler alone or a more comprehensive plan.

We take a conservative approach, offering subtle enhancements that build confidence without changing what makes you unique.

Common Questions and Concerns Lip Filler

It’s normal to feel hesitant about lip filler, especially if you’re worried about looking overdone. One of the most common concerns we hear is, “Will it look natural?” With Kysse, the goal is always subtle volume and smooth integration with your natural lip structure.

Other common questions include:

  • Is there downtime? Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
  • Will it hurt? A numbing cream is applied beforehand to help minimize discomfort.
  • What if I don’t like it? Kysse can be adjusted or dissolved if needed, though most patients are happy with their results.
