Restylane® Kysse in Dallas & Irving

Introduction to Restylane® Kysse

What Is Restylane® Kysse?

Restylane® Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler from Galderma, offered at the Dermatology Office of Dr. Ellen Turner in Dallas and Irving. It was the first HA lip filler made with XpresHAn Technology™, designed specifically to add natural-looking fullness to the lips and to soften the fine wrinkles above the mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin makes naturally to stay hydrated and full, and as those levels decline with age the lips can begin to thin and lose definition while fine lines form along the upper lip.

Restylane® Kysse adds volume and shape to the lips and smooths the lines above the mouth, all without surgery. What sets it apart is XpresHAn Technology™, a flexible gel that integrates into the tissue and moves naturally with your expressions, so your lips still look and feel like you when you smile and talk. It also contains lidocaine for a more comfortable treatment.

Because the lips are one of the most expressive features of the face, our providers use Restylane® Kysse to enhance shape, balance, and fullness while keeping your results soft and natural rather than overdone.

Restylane® Kysse is FDA-approved for lip augmentation and for the correction of upper perioral wrinkles, the fine lines above the mouth. It is indicated for patients over the age of 21. In clinical studies, results were shown to last up to one year, and 78 percent of patients remained satisfied with their results at one year.

Treatment Journey

What to Expect at Your Restylane® Kysse Appointment

Our team performs every Restylane® Kysse treatment as a straightforward in-office procedure at our Dallas and Irving locations. Most appointments are completed in under one hour, and results are visible almost immediately.

Step 1: Consultation at Our Dallas or Irving Office

✓We review your aesthetic goals and full medical history

✓A detailed assessment of your lips and smile confirms whether Restylane® Kysse is right for your goals and maps a customized approach

✓Treatment expectations, risks, and aftercare are fully discussed

✓Photographs of the treatment area are taken for your records

Step 2: Preparation

✓The lip area is thoroughly cleansed

✓A topical numbing cream may be applied for your comfort, and Restylane® Kysse also contains lidocaine

✓Injection points are mapped precisely based on your lip anatomy and goals

Step 3: Injection

✓The filler is carefully placed into the lips using a fine needle or a blunt-tip cannula

✓The full appointment is typically completed in under one hour

✓Results are visible almost immediately, though some swelling of the lips is normal at first

Step 4: Aftercare

✓Use cold compresses to reduce temporary lip swelling

✓Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (NSAIDs), St. John’s Wort, blood thinners, and high-dose Vitamin E for one week, as these can increase bruising

✓Minimize strenuous exercise and avoid excessive heat, sun, or UV lamps for the first 24 hours

✓Do not press or massage the lips unless instructed by your provider

✓Follow all aftercare instructions and schedule any recommended follow-up

Lips tend to swell more than other areas. Swelling can be noticeable for the first 24 to 48 hours and usually settles over one to two weeks. The most common side effects are temporary reactions at the injection site, such as swelling, redness, bruising, pain, headache, tenderness, itching, and lump formation. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. Our team will review all risks with you before any treatment begins.

Patient Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Restylane® Kysse cost?

Cost depends on how many syringes are needed to reach your goals, which varies from person to person. Because Restylane® Kysse is a cosmetic treatment, it is not covered by insurance. Our team will review pricing with you during your consultation, along with any current offers.

How long does Restylane® Kysse last?

Restylane® Kysse is clinically proven to last up to one year in the lips. In studies, 78 percent of patients remained satisfied with their results at one year. Duration varies from person to person based on metabolism, age, and lifestyle.

Will my lips look natural?

Yes. Restylane® Kysse is made with XpresHAn Technology™, a flexible gel designed to move naturally with your expressions. Our providers aim for a soft, balanced enhancement that suits your face, not an overfilled look.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most people feel only minor discomfort. Restylane® Kysse contains lidocaine to numb the area as it is injected, and a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand for added comfort.

How much swelling should I expect?

Lips tend to swell more than other treatment areas. Swelling can be noticeable for the first 24 to 48 hours and usually settles over the following one to two weeks. Cold compresses can help in the first day.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. You may have swelling, redness, or bruising of the lips for a few days, but most patients return to their normal activities right away.

Can Restylane® Kysse be reversed?

Yes. Because it is hyaluronic acid-based, it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This reversibility is one of the key advantages of HA fillers.

How is Restylane® Kysse different from other lip fillers?

Kysse was the first lip filler made with XpresHAn Technology™, which is designed to keep lips flexible and natural-looking in motion. Other fillers may suit different goals, and our providers select the right product for your lips during your consultation.

Can it smooth the lines above my lips?

Yes. Restylane® Kysse is FDA-approved for the correction of upper perioral wrinkles, the fine vertical lines above the upper lip, in addition to lip augmentation.

Who is a good candidate?

Most healthy adults over 21 who want fuller lips, a more defined lip shape, or smoother lines above the mouth are good candidates. It is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have bleeding disorders, have an active infection at the treatment site, or have a history of severe allergies. Our team will confirm suitability during your consultation.
