Restylane® Los Angeles: Dermal Fillers in Brentwood

Restylane is a clear hyaluronic acid gel designed to work like the hyaluronic acid your body already produces, and it is made with non-animal-sourced hyaluronic acid. Dr. Kia uses it for lip augmentation, wrinkles and smile lines, nasolabial folds, cheek volume, facial contours, and volume loss in the hands. It integrates with the skin and lets you keep your natural facial expressions.

The Restylane range includes Restylane, Lyft, Defyne and Refyne, and Silk. Restylane suits lip augmentation and moderate to severe wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Lyft treats wrinkles on the face and hands and adds fullness to the cheeks, mid-face, and backs of the hands. Defyne and Refyne smooth nasolabial folds and marionette lines while keeping natural expression, and Silk shapes the lips and smooths lines around the mouth. Dr. Kia chooses the products that suit your treatment.
