Restylane Types: Which Filler Should Be Used for the Lips and Eye Area?

Restylane types,

Which filler should be used for the lips and eye area?

'I had lip filler before, but it disappeared too quickly.

Is lip filler supposed to go away that fast?'

'And for the under-eye area, I’m thinking about getting filler this time because of dark circles.

Which one would be good to use?'

In fact, there is a reason why these concerns come up.

Even with the same filler, the effect and suitability can vary depending on where it is used and how much volume is injected.

Even on the same face, skin thickness and the degree of movement differ from area to area, so using a filler suited to each area is more effective.

That is why fillers appropriate for each area are being developed these days.

Today, among the various Restylane types, we will talk about 'Restylane Kysse,' designed for the lips, and 'Restylane Eyelight,' suitable for use around the eyes.

We will go step by step through how each one works, why it is suitable for that area, and how to care for it after the procedure.

Lip filler - Restylane Kysse

When you look at reviews of lip filler,

'For some reason, my lips feel a bit hard.'

'I’ve heard that I look a little unnatural when I smile.'

There are people who say things like this.

The lips are an area that moves constantly every time you make an expression or eat, so if you use just any filler formulation, problems like these can easily occur.

'If it’s Restylane Kysse, it may help with those issues.'

As its intuitive, slightly playful name suggests, it is a filler made specifically for the lips.

It is made using a manufacturing method called 'OBT,' which simply means the texture of the filler is made softer so that it blends better with the surrounding skin tissue.

Thanks to its densely interwoven mesh-like structure, it has the advantage of maintaining volume while flexibly following lip movement.

The important point is that it can create enough volume even with a small amount.

The more filler is injected, the easier it is for the result to look unnatural, but Restylane Kysse can provide sufficient volume with a small amount, making it suitable for those who want a natural effect.

It also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so pain during the procedure is reduced. Since the lips are a highly sensitive area, this is important as well.

In addition, although there are differences depending on lifestyle and the individual, the maintenance period is generally relatively long, about 6 months to 1 year.

Eye area filler - Restylane Eyelight

The most representative problem when using filler under the eyes is the so-called 'Tyndall effect,' in which the filler appears bluish.

The skin around the eyes is very thin, so even a small mistake can make the filler show through the skin.

In the case of 'Restylane Eyelight,' it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was created to address this point.

It is made using a technology called 'NASHA,' a structure in which hyaluronic acid molecules are tightly and moisturizedly interwoven. In that case, elements that are strengths in eye-area procedures emerge.

• The visibility through the skin is reduced.

Because the hyaluronic acid molecules are made small and uniform, the degree of light refraction is reduced.

The shallower the layer in which filler is injected, the easier it is for it to become visible through the skin, and Restylane Eyelight helps reduce this risk.

• It absorbs less moisture and helps prevent swelling.

Since I usually emphasize skin hydration so much, you may think that more moisture is always better, but the case is different for under-eye filler procedures.

If the filler attracts too much water, it can swell, and that is not desirable for the eye area.

So when the procedure is done with Restylane Eyelight, which minimizes moisture absorption, swelling is reduced.

• Precise treatment is possible.

The eye area has a complex vascular distribution and is a sensitive region, so fingertip sensitivity is important there.

Eyelight has high firmness yet little deformation, which makes it advantageous for precisely placing it in the desired location.

Although the maintenance period varies by individual, it is generally relatively long, around 1 year.

Precautions after the procedure

After filler treatment, there are several things to keep in mind. There are separate precautions for the lips and the eye area.

• Lip filler

Just because you were treated with Restylane Kysse does not mean you should literally allow strong pressure on the lips, like a kiss, for about 1 month. ^^;

In the same sense, you should also avoid drinking through a straw or tightly pressing your lips together.

This is because repeated puckering of the lips can change the shape of the filler.

• Eye area filler

It is important not to rub the eye area when washing your face.

When cleansing, it is better to do so gently by lightly patting with a cotton pad.

If you have a habit of sleeping on your stomach, you should change to sleeping on your back while the filler settles.

This is because if continuous pressure is applied to the treatment area, the filler can be compressed and its shape can change.

Today, among the Restylane types, we took a detailed look at 'Restylane Kysse' and 'Restylane Eyelight,' which are suitable for the lips and the eye area, respectively.

Because they are made for each specific use, they can deliver good results if used appropriately.

One more thing to mention: when getting filler, it is better not to be greedy and to start with a small amount.

If there is not enough, it is easy to add more while observing the response, but injecting too much at once can cause side effects.

During the consultation and procedure, I hope you will carefully check whether the provider considers your skin condition, overall facial impression, proportions, and harmony when setting the volume and design.
