RESTYLANE KYSSE IN BUCKHEAD AND ALPHARETTA

Restylane Kysse’s unique structure lets you create fuller lips that feel natural and soft. We can also use Kysse to smooth out the fine lines around your lips, known as the perioral lines. What’s more, Restylane Kysse can provide:

• Fuller lips,
• More shapely lips,
• Improved lip symmetry,
• Enhanced lip texture, and
• Longer-lasting results.

Another advantage of Kysse is that you need almost 20% less product than other fillers to achieve comparable results, which allows our Buckhead and Alpharetta clients to save money.

What’s more, while other lip fillers last six to nine months, Restylane Kysse lasts 12 months and more because the hyaluronic acid in the filler is crosslinked with an ingredient called BDDE. Together, these two ingredients work to provide a gel filler that lasts longer, which has been validated by clinical research; various Restylane Kysse studies have reported that:

• 77% of subjects had at least a one-point improvement in lip fullness six months after treatment.
• 60% of subjects had at least a one-point improvement in lip fullness 12 months after treatment.
• 88% of subjects said they had an improvement in the appearance of their lips six months after treatment.
• 78% of subjects said they had an improvement in the appearance of their lips 12 months after treatment.

When will I see results?

You see the results of your Restylane Kysse injections as soon as your treatment at our Buckhead or Alpharetta office is over.

How long is the recovery time?

Most of our Buckhead and Alpharetta clients return to regular activities immediately following their Restylane Kysse treatments. Any mild swelling that occurs should not be overly noticeable. Sometimes a bruise occurs because of the needle’s contact with the skin. Our staff provides options after your procedure, including topical treatments, to minimize bruising.

Preparing for your Restylane Kysse treatment at our Buckhead or Alpharetta office

• If this is your first Restylane Kysse treatment at our Buckhead or Alpharetta office, then be prepared to discuss your medical history, including questions about prior procedures, surgeries, illnesses, and medications you have taken.
• Think about your desired results for your procedure and be prepared to share those with your injector.
• Take photos of the area of your face that will be treated.

What to expect during your Restylane Kysse treatment

During your Restylane Kysse procedure at our Buckhead or Alpharetta office:

• Your skin will be cleansed prior to treatment.
• A cream or ointment called a topical anesthetic will be used to numb the area where your injection will be received your injection.
• Your injector will begin the procedure by giving you the first injection, then pausing to allow the anesthetic that is part of Restylane Kysse to continue to numb the area around your injection. The anesthetic part of Restylane Kysse has been shown to significantly reduce the pain and discomfort that may occur with a dermal filler gel injection.
• Your injector will continue the injection of Restylane Kysse until the area being treated shows the desired results.
• After the injection is completed, your injector may gently massage the area that was treated to ensure the dermal filler gel is distributed evenly and looks natural.

Aftercare and possible side effects

• A clean cloth dipped in cold water (cold compresses) may be applied to the injected area immediately after treatment to reduce swelling.
• Avoid touching the treated area within six hours following treatment so you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. After that, the area can be gently washed with soap and water.
• Avoid taking aspirin, NSAID, St. John’s Wort, blood thinners, and high doses of Vitamin E supplements for one week after treatment. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
• Minimize strenuous exercise and exposure to excessive heat, sun, or UV lamps for the first 24 hours after treatment. Exposure to any of these may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection site. Until there is no redness or swelling, avoid exposure of the treated area to intense cold or heat such as sun lamps or sunbathing.

Whenever a dermal filler – including Restylane Kysse – is injected into the skin, there could be side effects, including the risk of infection. This infection could appear as small, swollen, or red bumps – called inflammatory papules. These infections are rare. However, if you see any of these signs or symptoms, talk to your doctor.
