Aging has its perks, but it also comes with deeper laugh lines and folds that don’t quite smooth out like they used to. If you’ve started to notice pronounced nasolabial folds (those lines extending from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth) or marionette lines (the creases from the corners of your mouth to your chin), you may have started exploring your injectable filler options. Restylane® Defyne is a filler designed specifically to treat moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds while preserving your natural, unique appearance.

What Is Restylane® Defyne?
Restylane® Defyne is a hyaluronic acid-based facial filler formulated with XpresHAn Technology™. This innovative formula provides the filler gel with both flexibility and support, enabling it to integrate seamlessly with your facial movements and allow for dynamic expressions while still smoothing out deeper lines and folds. Unlike some fillers that can create a stiff or “overdone” appearance, Restylane® Defyne is tailored for areas of the face that move often—so your results look authentic and natural.
What Are the Benefits of Restylane® Defyne?
Restylane® Defyne offers a unique combination of structure and movability. Benefits include:
- Natural-looking results that move with your face
- Smoothing of deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Enhanced chin projection without surgery
- Long-lasting effects
- Quick treatment with minimal downtime
- Customizable results that can be adjusted to cater to your aesthetic goals
The formulation of Restylane® Defyne is especially suitable for patients who want to see noticeable improvements in deeper lines while still looking like themselves—just more refreshed.
Am I a Good Candidate for Restylane® Defyne?
You may be a good candidate for Restylane® Defyne if you want a non-surgical solution for moderate to deep facial folds and lines, particularly around your mouth and nose. It’s ideal for adults over 21 who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results Restylane® Defyne can achieve.
In addition to treating deep folds, Restylane® Defyne is also FDA-approved for enhancing chin projection in patients with mild to moderate retrusion (also called a “weak” chin), making it a versatile option to create a more balanced facial profile. If you’re looking for a way to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance without looking overly “done,” Restylane® Defyne may be right for you.
How Is Restylane® Defyne Performed?
Your Restylane® Defyne treatment is performed right in our office and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Your trained and experienced provider will use a fine needle to carefully and strategically inject Restylane® Defyne into targeted areas of your face. A topical numbing cream may be applied before your treatment to minimize discomfort, and the filler itself contains lidocaine for added comfort. Most patients find the treatment tolerable, with only minor stinging or pressure during the injections.
The number of Restylane® Defyne injections you need will depend on the severity of the lines or volume loss being treated.
What Is Recovery Like After Restylane® Defyne?
Recovery after Restylane® Defyne is generally minimal, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment. Some of the expected side effects may include:
- Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites
- Bruising, which can be safely and easily covered with makeup
- Temporary firmness or lumps, which usually smooth out within a week
To minimize swelling and bruising after your Restylane® Defyne treatment, you should avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours.
What Can I Expect From My Restylane® Defyne Results?
Your Restylane® Defyne results will be visible immediately after your treatment, and will continue to improve as any swelling dissipates over the next few days. Your results are subtle yet noticeable, as lines and wrinkles will appear softer, facial contours are more defined, and your overall appearance looks more youthful yet natural.
Restylane® Defyne results can last up to 12 months, although this may vary depending on your individual metabolism, the areas treated, and the amount of product used. Follow-up treatments will help maintain your refreshed look over time.
