Reduce Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds, the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and marionette lines, which extend from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, are notoriously difficult to treat—especially when aiming for natural results with minimal downtime.
With the arrival of Restylane Defyne, there is now a completely nonsurgical treatment specifically designed to address deep wrinkles like nasolabial folds.
Using just a few simple injections, Restylane Defyne can help you achieve subtle, natural rejuvenation that lasts for up to 12 months. Restylane Defyne is a dermal filler—a smooth gel injected into treatment areas such as nasolabial folds—to create volume under the skin and smooth out wrinkles.
The procedure takes only a few minutes, uses an ultra-fine needle, and the formula includes lidocaine to help minimize discomfort. After treatment, patients can enjoy a smoother, more youthful appearance.
See Real Results—Without Losing Any Facial Expression or Feeling Frozen
Restylane Defyne performs like no other filler, and the proof is clinical. In a multicenter, noncomparative trial study of patients aged 35-65 years, clinicians monitored the effectiveness of the treatment as well as the preservation of natural facial expressions after receiving Restylane Defyne.
- 97% of patients were satisfied with their treatment results and said they would do the treatment again
- 95% would recommend the product to a friend
Restylane Defyne is the only filler on the market that has been shown in a clinical study to help maintain movement and expressions.

FAQs: Restylane Defyne
What is restylane defyne?
Restylane Defyne was developed by Galderma, the company behind other popular fillers such as Restylane Lyft®, Restylane®, and Restylane Refyne®. This unique formula uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body that binds and retains water molecules. While new to the United States, Europeans have been benefiting from Restylane Defyne for several years under a different name.
How does restylane defyne work?
Restylane Defyne is formulated using XpresHAn Technology, which creates an advanced gel with the optimal balance of flexibility and support. This formulation allows the hyaluronic acid gel to flex and move naturally with your facial expressions, resulting in subtle, natural-looking results. What makes Restylane Defyne unique is its sturdy gel structure, designed specifically for treating deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and facial depressions. With this advanced gel formulation, you can achieve real, noticeable results without the risk of looking overdone or unnatural.
What happens during a restylane defyne treatment?
When you arrive at our New Orleans office, our team of doctors can help assess your anatomy, desired outcomes, and treatment or downtime preferences. We offer a wide variety of fillers, such as Juvederm and various Restylane products, each with unique results.
We are happy to discuss all your available options to guarantee you get the results you want when you want them. Once you have made your decision, we will create a unique treatment plan tailored to your situation and schedule any necessary appointments.
The administration of Restylane Defyne is comfortable, quick, and easy. We use very small needles to expertly perform a series of injections to ensure the desired results. The procedure is quick and virtually painless; patients who do feel anything liken the sensation at worst to an insect bite.
How long is the recovery process?
Your Restylane Defyne treatment will be completely nonsurgical, so there is only a minimal recovery period required. You should see an immediate improvement after the treatment, but the full results should appear after a week. Some patients experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment area, but these symptoms are only temporary and should go away after a week.
Dr. Velargo and Dr. Hendrick are both highly trained and experienced injectors and can deliver Restylane Defyne with superior levels of artistry and safety.
How long do the results last?
One of the biggest benefits of Restylane Defyne is how long the results last. Many of our patients report positive effects lasting up to 12 months after a single treatment.
If you wish to extend the results beyond this, we are happy to schedule touch-up procedures.
Restylane Defyne works very well with other fillers and can be easily combined with different procedures during the same visit.
What does restylane defyne treat?
Restylane Defyne was formulated and developed to treat nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth). It works especially well in this area due to its formulation with XpresHAn technology, which provides greater support while maintaining more flexibility than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
But that’s not all! Restylane Defyne can also be used to treat other concerns, such as marionette lines.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects from Restylane Defyne are more likely related to the injection process rather than the filler itself.
During the injection, a small needle penetrates your skin, which may trigger the body’s inflammatory response. As a result, some patients experience slight redness and swelling for 24–48 hours after treatment. These side effects, however, typically resolve quickly and without complications. If you are concerned about the appearance, makeup is a great way to address these issues and help you stay out and about even immediately after the procedure.
