Personalized dermal filler treatments conveniently located to serve Rochester, NY
If you’re looking to smooth fine lines or restore volume, Restylane offers natural-looking results. At Monroe MedSpa in Rochester, NY, our experienced injectors use this hyaluronic acid-based filler to help you look refreshed and feel like yourself again.
What Is Restylane?
Restylane is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin. This injectable treatment adds volume to areas that have lost fullness over time. It works by attracting water to plump the skin and smooth wrinkles.
The Restylane family includes several formulas designed for different treatment areas. Each product is FDA-approved and personalized to address specific concerns, from fine lines to deep folds.
What areas can Restylane treat?
Restylane products can address multiple concerns across your face:
- Restylane Refyne smooths moderate laugh lines and smile lines while maintaining natural movement
- Restylane Kysse enhances lip volume and improves the appearance of lip lines for fuller, softer lips
- Restylane Defyne treats deeper nasolabial folds and marionette lines for more pronounced correction
- Restylane Lyft restores midface volume in the cheeks and corrects age-related volume loss in the back of your hands
- Restylane Contour adds definition to your cheek area and creates balanced facial contours
Restylane vs. Juvederm: What’s the difference?
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers, but they differ in formulation. Restylane uses a granular gel consistency that integrates gradually into your tissue. Juvederm uses a smooth gel that spreads more easily.
Your injector will recommend the best option based on your treatment area and goals. Some patients benefit from using both products in different areas during the same visit.

Who Needs Restylane?
You may be a good candidate if you want to:
- Smooth lines around your nose and mouth
- Add volume to thinning lips
- Restore fullness to your cheeks
- Reduce the appearance of under-eye hollows
- Improve facial symmetry
Ideal candidates are in good health and have realistic expectations. Restylane works best for mild to moderate volume loss and wrinkles. Your injector will assess your skin during consultation to determine if this treatment fits your needs.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your appointment typically takes 15-30 minutes. First, your injector will clean the treatment area and may apply numbing cream to help with comfort. Most Restylane products contain lidocaine, which provides additional numbing during injection.
Your injector will use a fine needle or cannula to place the filler where needed. You may feel slight pressure or pinching, but most patients tolerate the procedure well. After injection, a gentle massage helps evenly distribute the product.
You can see results immediately after treatment. Some swelling is normal, so your final results will appear within a few days as this subsides.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most people return to regular activities right after their appointment. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites for a few days.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours after treatment. Sleep with your head elevated the first night to minimize swelling. Apply ice if needed, but avoid pressing directly on treated areas.
Results typically last 6-18 months, depending on which Restylane product you receive and how your body metabolizes the filler. Touch-up treatments help maintain your results over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Restylane last?
Duration depends on the specific product and treatment area. Restylane Kysse typically lasts six to nine months in the lips. Restylane Lyft can last up to one year in the cheeks. Factors like your metabolism and lifestyle also affect how long results last.
Is Restylane safe?
Yes, Restylane is FDA-approved and has been used safely for many years. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces, so allergic reactions are rare. Temporary side effects, such as swelling or bruising, are normal and resolve quickly.
Can Restylane be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you’re unhappy with the results or experience complications. This enzyme breaks down the filler within 24-48 hours. Having this reversal option provides additional peace of mind.
Will my face look overdone?
When administered by an experienced injector, Restylane creates subtle, natural-looking results. Your injector will work with you to determine the right amount for your goals. You can always add more filler later if you want additional volume.
