Does Restylane Kysse really last longer than other fillers?

Question

Does Restylane Kysse really last longer than other fillers? What are the pros? Not sure if I want to spend the extra money when I can get a less inexpensive filler like versa.

Sean Alemi, MD · Answer

In my experience Restylane Kysse lasts at least as long as Juvederm, typically between 6-9 months in most patients. The biggest advantage to using Kysse is that it is a very soft, pliable filler so it feels incredibly natural in the lips. I do not see as much immediate post injection swelling as with other fillers as well. It is a great lip filler in my opinion!

Hello,
And thank you for your question. Restylane Kysse is made of Hyaluronic acid which is the same active ingredient as in other fillers such as Juvederm, however, the cross-linking of Hyaluronic acid is slightly different which allows for a "softer" product and a more natural look. It I helps add lip fullness, and improves the appearance of the lines around the mouth.
It lasts about 6-12 months depending on the patient, similar as the other dermal fillers. 
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz.

Thank you for your question. Restylane Kysse is the latest filler to treat thin or asymmetrical lips. In addition to its smooth consistency, Kysse features crosslinking technology that produces volume while preserving the natural movement of the lips. According to the manufacturer, the product has been shown to last up to one year, which is one of the more durable fillers used in the lips. However, the specific amount of time for your results will depend on a variety of factors, including how quickly your body reabsorbs the hyaluronic acid in the filler. Most patients see improvement for about 6-12 months. This procedure should only be performed by a very experienced injector who has had extensive training using this product.

While some fillers have been studied to last longer than others, the truth is it all depends on the area being treated and how your body metabolizes the filler being used.  Restalyne Kysse is an amazing product, and most often utilized in the lips. It provides a nice, subtle pop of hydration and plumpness. It is always recommended to make sure you choose your Injector wisely and allow them to properly evaluate you and discuss your concerns/goals.  From this evaluation, your injector should be able to recommend the product that he/she thinks will give you the desired result you are after.

Restylane Kysse lasts about a year or so in the lips. Juvederm Ultra can also last about a year. The Vycross products , Volbella, Vollure, and Voluma can last a year or longer, but I have had so many patients develop delayed hypersensitivity nodules, that I have stopped using them altogether. I primarily base my selection of filler on the desired outcome, not longevity, as the length of time the filler will last cannot always be predicted, but how the filler will behave can be. For example, if I need to alter someone's lip shape to correct asymmetry, I will choose Kysse, especially if I am trying to do it in one setting. If one has the luxury of 3 visits and 3 syringes, one can use other hyaluronic acid products. Good luck.

Restylane Kysse should last a year, on average. everyone metabolizes these fillers at different rate but this one has been designed to last.  Pro: Kysse does a wonderful  job of being both firm and soft enough to sculpt a set of beautiful lips. Plump but with definition,  as  opposed to some fillers that just fluff up the lips. A 1 cc syringe seems to go further and give appearance of more filler then 1 cc of other fillers. Con: If you are unsure about augmenting your lips go for something that disappears sooner for first time around.
