What Is Restylane® Kysse™?

Restylane® Kysse™ is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid lip filler that uses XpresHAn Technology™ (Natural Expression Technology) for lip augmentation in adults 21 and older. Each syringe contains 1 ml of flexible HA gel with pre-mixed lidocaine. The unique cross-linking technology allows the gel to integrate with your natural lip tissue, moving naturally with every smile, kiss, and expression, eliminating the heavy, stiff feel of traditional lip fillers.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Kysse treatment begins with a thorough consultation and before photos. Topical numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes before injection for maximum comfort. The number of syringes varies based on your starting lip anatomy and desired result: some patients need 1 syringe while others may receive up to 2 at one visit. Kysse produces the least swelling of any lip filler available, so results are visible immediately.

How Restylane® Kysse™ Works

Kysse lip augmentation follows a precise, artistry-driven protocol:

  • Dr. Avaliani evaluates your lip anatomy, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals to create a customized augmentation plan
  • Topical numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes, and the pre-mixed lidocaine in Kysse provides additional comfort
  • The XpresHAn gel is precisely injected into the lips, integrating seamlessly with natural tissue for a soft, natural feel
  • The flexible HA gel moves naturally with your lip movements, maintaining a soft, kissable feel
  • Results are visible immediately with minimal swelling, lasting 6-9 months with maintenance every 4-6 months

Lip Concerns Kysse™ Addresses

  • Thin or Flat Lips

    Naturally thin lips that lack volume and fullness. Kysse’s flexible HA gel adds natural-looking volume while maintaining soft, natural movement. The XpresHAn Technology ensures your enhanced lips feel as natural as they look, with no heavy or stiff sensation.

  • Age-Related Volume Loss

    Lips that have thinned and lost their youthful plumpness over time. Kysse restores the volume and definition that naturally diminishes with age, recreating the fuller, more defined lip shape of your youth with results that look and feel completely natural.

  • Lip Asymmetry

    Uneven or asymmetric lips where one side is larger or differently shaped than the other. Kysse allows Dr. Avaliani to precisely correct asymmetry, creating balanced, harmonious lip proportions that look naturally beautiful from every angle.

  • Undefined Lip Border

    Lack of lip border definition or a blurred vermilion border that creates a flat, undefined appearance. Kysse precisely enhances the lip border and Cupid’s bow, creating crisp definition that frames the lips beautifully without appearing overdone.

  • Desire for Natural Fullness

    Patients who want fuller lips but are concerned about looking overdone or artificial. Kysse’s Natural Expression Technology is specifically designed for the most natural-looking lip augmentation possible: your enhanced lips will move, feel, and look completely real.

  • Pre-Event Enhancement

    Preparing for a wedding, photoshoot, or special event with lips that photograph beautifully. Kysse produces the least swelling of any lip filler, making it ideal for pre-event enhancement. Schedule 2-4 weeks before your event for perfectly settled, natural-looking results.
