Two New Restylane Fillers Will Get Rid of Your Worse Wrinkles

Every so often, the FDA sends the cosmetic industry into a tizzy of excitement by approving new products for public use. Just this past December, two new Restylane dermal fillers were approved for use on deep smile lines and wrinkles. Since dermal fillers fill the face with lost volume in order to smooth out wrinkles, this is an exciting step of progress for men and women alike seeking a simple yet effective way to look and feel younger.

About Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are the wrinkles or folds of skin that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the lips, and they are nicknamed “smile lines” because that is when they are most prevalent. As your skin ages and loses its elasticity, the smile lines become deeper and deeper wrinkles that stick around permanently over time.

How Do These New Facial Fillers Help?

Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are similar in nature, but with distinct differences that address the problem of unwanted nasolabial folds and wrinkles.

To begin, Defyne and Refyne are both “next-generation” dermal fillers since they use XpresHAn Technology to customize “the degree of HA crosslinking in each product,” according to the maker Galderma. As a result, the gel in Defyne and Refyne both offer an incredible range of flexibility that can customize results for patients of all different needs. In other words, whether your smile lines are just beginning or have been set in for 20 years, one of these new Restylane products can help.

If your smile lines fall into the category of being deeply etched into your face, then Restylane Defyne is the best choice for you. Defyne is not as flexible, which means it offers more support to the skin in order to effectively fill those deep skin marks. Restylane Refyne, on the other hand, is designed with HA crosslinks that are flexible and provide subtle support for moderate nasolabial folds. Both injections have been shown to remain effective for laugh lines for up to 12 months, which means one year straight with a smile you’re not afraid to flaunt.
