What Is Restylane-L?
Restylane-L is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler with built-in lidocaine, designed for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds as well as lip augmentation in patients 21 and older. It uses NASHA technology (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid), a unique gel formulation that provides natural volume and smooth, predictable results.
Unlike newer Restylane products that use Galderma’s XpresHAn Technology for flexible movement, Restylane-L’s NASHA gel provides firm, structured support, making it an excellent choice for deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and areas that benefit from strong volume restoration. The ’L’ in Restylane-L stands for lidocaine, ensuring a more comfortable injection experience.
How Restylane-L Treatment Works
Your Restylane-L treatment follows a precise, well-established protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of concern to design a customized injection plan
- The treatment area is cleansed and AccuVein vein visualization technology is used to map blood vessels and minimize bruising
- Restylane-L is precisely injected into the targeted areas using ultra-fine needles, with the built-in lidocaine providing comfort throughout
- The hyaluronic acid gel instantly adds volume, smooths wrinkles and folds, and integrates naturally with your tissue
- Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over 1-2 weeks as the filler settles, lasting 6-12 months depending on the treatment area
Concerns We Treat with Restylane-L
Nasolabial Folds
Deep smile lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Restylane-L’s firm NASHA gel provides excellent support to fill nasolabial folds, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts 6-12 months.
Marionette Lines
Lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, creating a sad or aged expression. Restylane-L restores volume along these creases for a lifted, more refreshed lower face contour.
Lip Enhancement
Restylane-L is FDA-approved for lip augmentation in patients 21 and older. It adds natural-looking volume, defines the lip border, and improves overall lip symmetry for subtle or dramatic enhancement.
Lip Lines / Smoker Lines
Fine vertical lines around the mouth (perioral lines) caused by aging, sun damage, and repetitive lip movements. Restylane-L smooths these etched lines and restores a youthful, smooth lip border.
Hand Rejuvenation
Restylane-L can restore lost volume to the backs of the hands, reducing the visibility of tendons, veins, and bones for a smoother, more youthful hand appearance.
Facial Wrinkles & Creases
Moderate to severe facial wrinkles and creases caused by aging, volume loss, and sun damage. Restylane-L fills and smooths these lines to restore a naturally youthful, refreshed complexion.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
Restylane-L is very well tolerated thanks to its built-in lidocaine, which numbs the treatment area as the filler is injected. Most patients describe only mild pressure during the procedure. Dr. Avaliani also uses topical numbing cream, ice, and AccuVein vein visualization technology to minimize bruising and maximize your comfort.
After treatment, you may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites that typically resolves within 2-3 days. Bruising is uncommon thanks to AccuVein technology but can occur and usually fades within a week. You can return to normal activities immediately. Most patients resume their day right after treatment.

Restylane-L frequently asked questions
What is Restylane-L?
Restylane-L is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler with built-in lidocaine for comfort. It uses NASHA technology (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) to create a firm, structured gel that smooths moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is also FDA-approved for lip augmentation in patients 21 and older.
What is NASHA technology and how does it differ from XpresHAn?
NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) is the original Restylane technology that produces a firm, particulate gel ideal for structured volume and deep fold correction. Newer Restylane products like Refyne, Defyne, and Kysse use XpresHAn Technology, which creates a more flexible gel that moves naturally with facial expressions. Dr. Avaliani selects the right technology based on your specific needs.
How long do Restylane-L results last?
Results typically last 6 to 12 months depending on the treatment area, the amount of filler used, and individual metabolism. Lip augmentation results may last closer to 6 months, while nasolabial fold correction can last up to 12 months. Maintenance treatments help sustain your results over time.
Does Restylane-L hurt?
Restylane-L contains built-in lidocaine that numbs the treatment area as the filler is injected. Most patients describe only mild pressure during the procedure. Dr. Avaliani also uses topical numbing cream, ice, and AccuVein vein visualization to maximize comfort and minimize bruising.
What is the recovery time after Restylane-L?
There is minimal downtime after Restylane-L treatment. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites that typically resolves within 2 to 3 days. Bruising is uncommon but can occur and usually fades within a week. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Can Restylane-L be used for lips?
Yes. Restylane-L is FDA-approved for lip augmentation in patients 21 and older. It adds natural-looking volume, enhances lip definition, and improves symmetry. Dr. Avaliani uses a conservative, artistic approach to ensure your lip enhancement looks natural and proportionate to your facial features.
Is Restylane-L reversible?
Yes. Because Restylane-L is a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This provides an added layer of safety and peace of mind. However, most patients are very happy with their results and reversal is rarely needed.
How is Restylane-L different from other Restylane products?
Restylane-L uses the original NASHA technology for firm, structured support, making it ideal for deep folds and wrinkles. Other Restylane products are designed for specific areas: Lyft for cheeks, Kysse for lips with natural movement, Defyne for deeper folds with flexibility, Refyne for moderate lines, Contour for cheek definition, and Eyelight for under-eye hollows.
Can Restylane-L be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Restylane-L is frequently combined with neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport, other Restylane products, skin tightening treatments, and laser resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Avaliani will design a customized treatment plan that addresses all of your concerns.
Who should not get Restylane-L?
Restylane-L is not recommended for patients with severe allergies, a history of anaphylaxis, or known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine. It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patients with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications should discuss their medical history with Dr. Avaliani during consultation.
