RESTYLANE DEFYNE & RESTYLANE REFYNE in Orange County, California

FLEXIBLE FILLERS THAT MOVE WITH YOU

Enjoy the next-generation hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to help support your skin while keeping you looking like you! Restylane brand fillers have been used for 16 years. At Total Dermatology, we strive to deliver the best Restylane Refyne & Restylane Defyne Irvine has to offer. Over time, newer formulations are developed to provide additional uses and even more natural results. These two newly FDA approved fillers have a distinct advantage – outstanding flexibility. Easily used for areas around the mouth where there is a lot of movement and under the eyes.

NEW TECHNOLOGY IN FILLER DEVELOPMENT

Aren’t fillers pretty much the same? Hyaluronic gels are similar but they are not the same. XpresHAn Technology (pronounced ex-ˈspre-shan – pretend you’re French when pronouncing), has upped the bar on flexibility combined with support. Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne have been shown to maintain effectiveness for the treatment of laugh lines for up to 12 months.

ESTABLISHED SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Both gel fillers have been used outside the U.S. under the name Emervel since 2011 with over 1 million treatments, so safety and effectiveness are well-established. † XpresHAn Technology™ is known as Optimal Balance Technology outside the US. Restylane Refyne is known as Emervel® Classic and Restylane Defyne is known as Emervel® Deep outside the US.

WHAT MAKES REFYNE AND DEFYNE DIFFERENT?

These new products are both soft and flexible. Refyne is very flexible with soft support and Defyne is a little less flexible with firmer soft support. Both gels give our Orange County Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne patients the advantage of extremely natural facial movement in the injected areas. Although HA gels tend to be quite soft, the products used for deep support have tended to be a little “stiffer” and could inhibit facial flexibility while smiling when larger volumes are required.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE MOST

• Softness (acts and feels like skin)
