Direction of Use
- Restylane Kysse with Lidocaine is injected by a trained healthcare professional into the lips or perioral area.
- It is typically injected into the lips to enhance volume and shape or into the lines around the mouth to smooth wrinkles.
- Treatment sessions typically take around 30 minutes, and results are visible immediately.
- Patients may experience mild swelling or redness after the injection, which usually subsides within a few days. Follow-up treatments may be recommended to maintain results.
Safety Concerns
- Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site.
- As with any injectable treatment, there is a slight risk of infection at the injection site.
- Although rare, allergic reactions to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid may occur, including swelling or rash.
- In some cases, small lumps or bumps may form at the injection site, but these usually resolve on their own.
- As with any dermal filler, there is a small risk of nerve damage if the injection is not done correctly.
- If too much filler is injected, it may lead to an unnatural or overly full appearance, but this can be corrected with additional treatments.
