Restylane Kysse is an injectable gel used to add fullness to the lips and help smooth the wrinkles around the upper lip. The injection contains hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. However, the HA contained in Restylane Kysse has been formulated to last longer in the body than the naturally occurring HA. Restylane Kysse also contains 0.3% lidocaine to help reduce pain during the procedure.
A study of 270 participants found that 88% rated an improvement in their appearance six months after treatment and 78% rated an improvement in their appearance 12 months after treatment.
