What is Restylane Kysse?
Restylane Kysse is a Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid Filler developed for the lips.
It uses OBT™ or Optimal Balance Technology, known as XpresHAn Technology™ in the United States.
This technology creates a flexible gel that moves with lip tissue, suiting constantly moving areas such as the lips.
The soft, flexible gel moves well with lips during talking, smiling, and expressions, suiting volume enhancement, lip reshaping, and refinement around the lips.
What is OBT™ Technology?
OBT stands for Optimal Balance Technology.
Restylane's technology gives HA an appropriate balance of flexibility and shape retention.
Kysse moves well with the lips, rather than emphasizing firmness or structural support like facial contouring fillers.
It can therefore blend naturally with lip movement during talking, smiling, or moving the mouth.
What can Restylane Kysse help with?
Adding lip volume
For relatively thin lips or those wanting fullness without a stiff look.
Reshaping the lips
It can adjust upper-to-lower lip proportions and refine details for a more balanced shape.
Defining the lip border
Adds Definition to the lip border, making the shape as defined as desired.
Adjusting lip asymmetry
Different amounts can be placed on either side if lip volume or shape differs.
Filling perioral wrinkles
Kysse also has usage information for lines above the lips, or Perioral Lines.
Who may be suited to Restylane Kysse?
It may suit people who:
- Thin lips needing volume
- Reshaping lips while retaining naturalness
- Fuller lips without stiffness
- Defining the lip border
- Imbalanced upper and lower lips
- Age-related lip volume loss
- Small perioral wrinkles
- Wanting a lip-specific filler
What is Restylane Kysse's texture like?
Kysse emphasizes softness and flexibility.
It suits areas like the lips that move all day.
Its strength is volume and shape with preserved lip movement, rather than maximum stiffness or projection.
How long does Restylane Kysse last?
Not everyone has exactly 1 year of results.
The lips move relatively often, so actual duration depends on:
- Amount injected
- Original lip shape
- Lip movement
- Individual metabolism
- Previous filler treatment
Some notice volume loss before 12 months, while others retain visible shape for longer.
How many cc are in 1 box of Restylane Kysse?
Restylane Kysse contains 1 ml, or approximately 1 cc, per syringe.
Actual amount depends on original and desired lip shape.
Not everyone needs the full 1 cc or the same amount every time.
Which lip styles suit Restylane Kysse?
Kysse can be used for several styles, such as:
Natural Lips
Slight volume enhancement for fuller lips that retain their original shape.
Defined Lips
Refine borders and details for clearer definition.
Plump Lips
Increase volume for fuller lips.
Cupid's Bow
Refine the upper lip's Cupid's bow.
Balanced Lips
Adjust upper and lower lip proportions for balance.
Suitable shape also considers face, chin, nose, and original lip proportions.
How does Restylane Kysse differ from Restylane Classic?
Restylane Kysse
Lip-specific, soft and flexible OBT gel for highly mobile areas.
Restylane Classic
NASHA technology gives a relatively firm gel focused on shape retention, for folds and volume in many areas.
Kysse is therefore the variant developed specifically for lip treatment.
How does Restylane Kysse differ from general lip fillers?
Kysse's distinctive feature is its design for lip movement.
The mouth does not stay still like chin or anterior cheeks; it constantly moves during talking, smiling, and eating.
Flexible filler helps volume and shape look more like part of the lips.
Does Restylane Kysse contain Lidocaine?
Yes.
Kysse contains 3 mg/ml or 0.3% Lidocaine to reduce injection pain.
If you have a history of allergy to Lidocaine or anesthetics, inform the doctor before treatment.
Do the lips swell after Kysse injection?
The lips swell easily after filler injection.
Early on, there may be:
- Swelling
- Tightness
- Needle marks
- Bruising
- Mild pain
- Temporary asymmetry from swelling
The first day's shape is therefore not the final result.
How long does it take to settle after injection?
Generally, wait approximately 1–2 weeks.
Initial swelling may exceed the true shape; as it subsides, volume and shape become clearer.
Wait for the lips to settle before assessing additional filling.
Can Restylane Kysse be dissolved?
Yes.
Kysse is a Hyaluronic Acid filler, so Hyaluronidase can help dissolve it if necessary.
Before dissolution, the doctor should always check filler location and amount.
How can you identify genuine Restylane Kysse?
Before injection, you can inspect the actual product being used.
Items you should check include:
- Restylane® Kysse™ name
- Intact box and syringe
- Lot number
- Expiry date
- Matching product information
- Thai-market label and leaflet
- Verify the authorized importer
Restylane properly imported by Galderma Thailand can be verified through Data Matrix / eZTracker on the box.
