Restylane KYSSE is a hyaluronic acid filler just like other filler products but the difference is the innovation is Galderma’s proprietary XpresHAn, also known as “expression” technology. This means the way this hyaluronic acid binds inside your lips is different from other products. It is bound to itself, so it stretches, and then goes back to its prior space. It has the ability to integrate into the tissue where it is injected and mold to your tissue and be a part of your natural lips! Lincoln Park injector, Katie Rudzinski, explains, “I am so excited to treat patients with Restylane Kysse because it not only gives fullness to the lips, but also softens fine lines and provides hydration. The XpresHAn technology sets Kysse apart from other products because it gives flexible movement to the lips, providing more natural results. Some success I've found with patients using Kysse is that with proper injection technique, the product is able to achieve targeted results. Because Kysse provides fullness and flexibility with movement, patients have found that the product feels natural, resulting in a fuller lip without feeling heavy.” Our Lincoln Park Aesthetican Marc Shaffar, who explains his experience, “I chose to get lip filler to even out a couple dips in my lip area to make them more symmetrical, and I love the volume they have now. Kysse feels very comfortable, it’s an extremely soft product compared to the filler I had prior. Very natural feeling. The actual process is a little intense, but Katie gave me warning before the needle would enter each time which I really appreciated. The numbing helps a lot, and after you start injecting, the lidocaine in the product kicks in and it’s a lot more tolerable. I would describe it as a very sharp sensation that’s over really quickly. The Cupid’s bow is the most intense part. Afterwards I did swell and had some minimal bruising. This happened the last time but not nearly as much, and the swelling went down by the next morning dramatically. Overall I’m extremely happy with my results, and really appreciated the detailed consultation.”  Other employees like Julie Hamilton, an Aesthetician at our Lincoln Park location, received Kysse to restore volume loss in lips; “I had very little swelling and no bruising with Kysse. Being 47 years old I have noticed loss of volume in my lips when I smile. I’m definitely more conservative when it comes to filler, so a small amount makes such a difference! I would recommend Kysse over other fillers because the product feels soft. It molds to my natural lips.”
