Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed for softening deep lines and facial contouring in the chin or jawline. It is formulated with Restylane’s patented XpresHAn Technology for structure and flexibility. This filler integrates well into the skin for subtle, natural-looking results.
What Are the Injections Like to Experience?
Treatment with Restylane Defyne is a minimally invasive procedure that takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas. The procedure is performed in the following steps, typically with minimal discomfort:
- Cleansing: The treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed in preparation for the injections.
- Numbing: Although Defyne contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, a topical numbing cream may be applied to your skin before treatment to ensure maximum comfort.
- Injections: Dr. Cohen uses a fine needle or cannula to inject Defyne precisely into the targeted areas. Depending on the severity of facial lines or folds and the desired outcome, it may be injected at different depths.
- Massage: After the injections, Dr. Cohen may gently massage the treated areas, molding the filler to ensure it is evenly distributed for a smooth, natural look.
