Smooth, Restore, and Enhance—Naturally

As we age, the skin loses volume, elasticity, and hydration—leading to wrinkles, folds, and a tired appearance. Restylane® fillers are designed to restore that lost volume and smooth lines while maintaining a natural look.

At True Beauty San Diego Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine, we use the full Restylane family of fillers to create subtle, balanced results tailored to your face, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Is Restylane?

Restylane is a collection of FDA-approved dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps keep skin hydrated and full. Restylane can be used to:

Smooth lines and wrinkles
Restore facial volume
Enhance lips
Improve under-eye hollows
Refine facial contours

Results are immediate and can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the product and treatment area.

Types of Restylane

Different areas of the face require different types of fillers. We select the right product based on your goals:

Restylane Lyft® – Adds volume to cheeks and mid-face
Restylane Defyne® / Refyne® – Softens lines while maintaining natural movement
Restylane Kysse® – Enhances lips with a soft, natural feel
Restylane-L® – Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

Your treatment is fully customized to achieve the most natural, balanced result.

FAQs

How is Restylane different from JUVÉDERM?

Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers, but they have slightly different textures and properties. In general, Restylane can offer more structure and control in certain areas. At True Beauty, we choose the best product for your specific goals, not based on brand preference.

Will my results look natural?

Yes, that’s always the goal. Our approach is conservative and focused on facial balance, so you look refreshed, not overfilled.

How much Restylane will I need?

It depends on the areas being treated and your desired outcome. Some patients need just a small amount, while others benefit from a more comprehensive plan. We’ll guide you based on what looks best for your face.

Can Restylane be reversed?

Yes. Since it’s made from hyaluronic acid, Restylane can be dissolved if needed. This gives patients flexibility and peace of mind.

Does Restylane move or look unnatural over time?

When placed correctly, it stays where it’s intended and integrates naturally with your tissue. Our technique focuses on proper placement to maintain a natural look over time.

Is there a best age to start fillers?

There’s no set age. Some patients start earlier to maintain volume, while others use fillers later to restore it. It depends on your goals and what you’re starting to notice.

Can Restylane be combined with Botox?

Yes, very commonly. Botox treats muscle-related wrinkles, while Restylane restores volume. Together, they can create a more balanced, refreshed appearance.

What areas does Restylane work best for?

Restylane is especially effective for areas like:

Under-eyes (tear troughs)
Lips
Lines around the mouth
Cheeks and mid-face

We’ll recommend the best approach based on your anatomy.

What makes True Beauty different for fillers?

We take a full-face approach. Instead of focusing on a single line or area, we look at how everything works together to create a natural, balanced result.
