Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours with natural-looking results. At Skinology in Clearwater, FL, we use Restylane products like Restylane Lyft and Restylane Defyne to target specific areas such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline. These fillers integrate seamlessly into the skin to provide subtle lift, improved definition, and long-lasting rejuvenation.
What is Restylane?
Restylane helps with the following:
- Volume loss in the cheeks
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Chin projection
- Jawline definition
- Lip enhancement
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Age-related facial hollows
How does Restylane work?
Restylane works by using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps retain moisture. When injected, it binds to water molecules beneath the surface, instantly adding fullness and smoothing lines. At Skinology, our providers use advanced injection techniques to precisely place the filler where it’s needed, restoring youthful contours, lifting sagging areas, and enhancing facial harmony with results that appear natural and refined.

- Smoothing deep lines and folds
- Restoring natural-looking facial volume
- Enhancing facial contours and symmetry
- Immediate, visible results
- Long-lasting yet temporary effects
- Uses a substance naturally found in the body
- Little to no downtime needed
Your Restylane experience at Skinology
During your Restylane treatment at Skinology in Clearwater, your provider will begin by assessing your facial structure and discussing your goals. After cleansing the area, a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, the chosen filler (Restylane Lyft or Restylane Defyne) is then carefully injected into targeted areas. The entire session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with results visible immediately.
Restylane FAQs
What’s the difference between Restylane Lyft and Defyne?
Restylane Lyft is formulated for deeper injections to lift and contour areas like the cheeks and midface. It adds structure and volume where age-related sagging is most noticeable. Restylane Defyne, on the other hand, is a flexible filler ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles and deeper lines around the nose and mouth while maintaining natural facial movement.
How long does Restylane last?
The longevity of Restylane depends on the specific product used and the area treated. Most patients enjoy results for 6 to 12 months, while thicker formulas like Restylane Lyft or Defyne may last up to 18 months in certain areas, such as the cheeks or jawline. Maintenance treatments can help extend your results over time.
Is there any downtime after Restylane injections?
Restylane treatments require little to no downtime. You might experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness around the injection sites, which resolve within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the experience as tolerable with minimal discomfort. Restylane products are formulated with lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent, and your provider may also apply a topical anesthetic beforehand to enhance comfort during the procedure.
