Restylane® Defyne
Soften Deep Lines Without Freezing Your Face
Flexible filler designed for smile lines and marionette lines in Winter Park
Your smile lines and the creases that run from the corners of your mouth down to your chin get deeper as your skin loses collagen and elasticity. If you live in Winter Park and want to soften these lines without losing the ability to smile and talk naturally, Restylane® Defyne uses a flexible hyaluronic acid formula designed specifically for dynamic areas of the face.
This filler is placed into the nasolabial folds and marionette lines to fill in the creases and improve the overall contour of the lower face. It supports natural facial expressions while reducing the depth of the lines, so you look refreshed without appearing stiff or immobile. The treatment is customized for facial balance and is ideal for people who want refined correction rather than dramatic change.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center offers consultations to evaluate the depth of your lines and discuss the level of correction that fits your goals.
Why Flexibility Matters in These Areas
You receive injections placed directly into the folds or lines you want to soften, using a fine needle or cannula to control depth and volume. In Winter Park, your provider evaluates your facial movement before treatment and adjusts the placement to avoid interfering with your expressions.
After treatment, the lines appear less pronounced, and the skin around your mouth looks smoother. The filler moves with your face when you smile or talk, so you do not look frozen or unnatural. The product is designed to integrate into tissue that experiences constant motion, and it maintains its shape without breaking down too quickly.
Results typically last nine to twelve months, though this varies based on your metabolism and how much movement occurs in the treated area. The filler does not migrate when placed correctly, and your provider adjusts the amount during the session based on how your tissue responds. This treatment is not suitable for fine surface lines or areas that need deep structural support, as it is formulated specifically for mid-depth correction in mobile areas.
Answers to Your Questions About This Treatment
Most people want to know how the filler will affect their expressions, how long it lasts, and whether it will hurt. These are the questions that come up most often before treatment.
What does the treatment feel like during the injections?
You may feel a sharp pinch as the needle enters the skin, followed by pressure as the filler is placed into the fold. Most providers use a topical numbing cream beforehand, and the filler contains lidocaine to reduce discomfort during the injections.
How long do the results from Restylane® Defyne typically last?
Results generally last nine to twelve months, depending on how much movement occurs in the treated area and how your body metabolizes hyaluronic acid. You can schedule follow-up treatments to maintain the correction over time.
When will I see the final results after my appointment?
You will notice smoother lines immediately, but swelling can make the area look fuller than the final result. Most swelling resolves within two to three days, and the final appearance settles within one week.
Why is this filler recommended for smile and marionette lines?
The product is formulated to remain flexible and move with your facial expressions, which is important for areas around the mouth that are constantly in motion. Firmer fillers designed for deeper support can feel stiff or restrict movement in these dynamic areas.
What happens if the results don't look the way I expected?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the product within one to two days. Your provider in Winter Park can reverse or adjust the treatment if the correction does not meet your expectations.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center evaluates the depth of your lines and your facial movement before any injections are performed, and discusses the level of correction that aligns with your goals. If you want to soften deep smile lines or marionette lines without losing your natural expressions, you can reach out to schedule a consultation and review your options.
