Restylane Kysse Lip Filler in Miami
Designed specifically for lips using XpresHAn Technology, Restylane Kysse delivers natural-feeling volume, beautiful shape, and flexible movement. FDA-approved lip augmentation with results lasting 6-12 months at Rewind Anti-Aging of Miami.
What Is Restylane Kysse?
Restylane Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) lip filler designed exclusively for lip augmentation and the treatment of perioral lines (fine vertical lines around the mouth). Part of the Restylane family, Kysse is built with XpresHAn Technology — a proprietary cross-linking process that creates a uniquely flexible gel optimized for the specific demands of lip tissue.
The lips are unlike any other facial tissue. They are constantly in motion — talking, eating, smiling, kissing — and they require a filler that can keep up with that movement without feeling stiff, lumpy, or unnatural. XpresHAn Technology allows Kysse to flex and stretch with your natural lip expression, providing volume and shape that looks and feels authentic.
Kysse also enhances lip color and texture by increasing hydration within the lip tissue. The result is not just fuller lips, but lips that look healthier, more vibrant, and more naturally beautiful. Like all Restylane products, Kysse contains built-in lidocaine for comfort and is fully reversible with hyaluronidase.
What Sets Restylane Kysse Apart
Kysse was purpose-built for the lips — not adapted from a filler designed for other areas. Every aspect of the product is optimized for lip tissue.
XpresHAn Technology
Proprietary cross-linking creates a gel that balances flexibility with support — moving naturally with lip expression rather than feeling stiff or rigid.
Natural Feel
Kysse integrates with your natural lip tissue so that your lips look and feel soft. Others should not be able to tell you have filler by touch.
Color Enhancement
In addition to volume, Kysse improves lip color by increasing hydration and light reflection in the lip tissue, contributing to a healthier, more vibrant appearance.
Perioral Line Smoothing
Kysse smooths fine vertical lines around the mouth (smoker's lines) in addition to enhancing lip volume and shape.
Built-In Lidocaine
Integrated local anesthetic numbs the lips during injection, improving comfort without the need for separate nerve blocks.
FDA-Approved
Restylane Kysse received FDA approval specifically for lip augmentation and upper perioral rhytids (lip lines), providing an established safety and efficacy record.
What Restylane Kysse Treats
From full lip augmentation to subtle shape refinement and perioral line smoothing, Kysse addresses the full spectrum of lip concerns.
Lip Volume
The primary use of Kysse. Adds volume to naturally thin lips or restores fullness lost due to aging. Provides a plump, hydrated appearance while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
Lip Shape & Symmetry
Corrects asymmetry between upper and lower lips, enhances the cupid's bow, and defines the lip border (vermilion border) for a more polished, refined appearance.
Upper Lip Enhancement
Many patients have a naturally thinner upper lip relative to the lower lip. Kysse can selectively augment the upper lip to achieve a balanced, proportional ratio.
Perioral Lines
Fine vertical lines above and around the lips — commonly called smoker's lines — can be smoothed with precise, superficial placement of Kysse along the lip border and vermilion.
Restylane Kysse Results
Volume enhancement is visible immediately after injection, though your lips will appear larger than the intended final result due to swelling. Lip filler swelling peaks at 24-48 hours and gradually subsides over 3-5 days. Do not judge your results during the swelling period.
The final result is best assessed at two weeks when all swelling has resolved and the filler has fully settled and integrated with your natural lip tissue. At this point, you will see your true result — enhanced volume, improved shape, and smoother lip texture.
Restylane Kysse typically lasts 6 to 12 months depending on individual metabolism and the amount of product placed. The lips are a high-movement area, which means filler breaks down faster here than in areas like the cheeks or jawline. Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 6-9 months.
One of the most valued aspects of Kysse results is how the lips feel — soft, natural, and indistinguishable from untreated lips by touch. This is the XpresHAn Technology advantage. Read our full guide on what to expect from lip filler.

What to Expect During Your Restylane Kysse Treatment
A quick, in-office procedure with no general anesthesia. Most lip filler appointments take about 30-40 minutes including numbing time.
Consultation
We examine your lip anatomy, discuss your goals (subtle enhancement vs. fuller augmentation), and plan the treatment — amount of product, placement strategy, and expected outcome.
Numbing
Topical numbing cream is applied to your lips and the surrounding area for 15-20 minutes. This ensures maximum comfort during the procedure.
Injection
15-20 minutes. Using a fine needle, we inject Kysse at strategic points along the lip body, border, and vermilion. The product is carefully molded for symmetry and shape.
Immediate Results
Volume enhancement is visible right away, though initial swelling will make the lips appear larger than the final result. Ice is applied to minimize post-treatment swelling.
Follow-Up
A two-week follow-up lets us assess the settled result and perform touch-ups if needed. We always start conservative — adding is easy, removing requires dissolution.
Side Effects
Restylane Kysse has an excellent safety profile. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, though lip filler tends to produce more visible swelling than filler in other areas:
- Swelling — The most common and most visible side effect. Peaks at 24-48 hours and resolves over 3-5 days. Lips will appear larger than intended during peak swelling — this is temporary.
- Bruising — Common at lip injection sites due to the rich blood supply in this area. Typically resolves within 5-7 days. Avoiding blood thinners and alcohol before treatment reduces risk.
- Tenderness — Lips will be tender and sensitive for 2-4 days. Avoid hot beverages, spicy food, and kissing pressure during the initial recovery period.
- Lumps or Unevenness — Small lumps may be felt immediately after injection. Most resolve within 1-2 weeks as the filler settles and integrates. Persistent lumps are addressed at the follow-up visit.
Lip Filler Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps optimize results and minimize swelling after your Restylane Kysse treatment:
- Apply ice wrapped in a cloth to your lips for 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off during the first several hours to control swelling.
- Avoid hot beverages, spicy foods, and straws for the first 24 hours. Stick to room-temperature or cool drinks and soft foods.
- Avoid kissing, aggressive lip movements, and applying pressure to the lips for 48 hours to prevent displacing the filler.
- Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (sauna, hot yoga) for 24-48 hours after treatment.
- Keep lips moisturized with a plain lip balm. Avoid lip products containing retinol, AHAs, or other active ingredients for 48 hours.
How Kysse Compares to Other Lip Fillers
Not all lip fillers are created equal. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right product for your goals. Learn more in our guide to dermal fillers vs Botox.
vs. Restylane Silk
Silk uses smaller, smoother particles and is designed for fine lip lines and subtle lip enhancement. Kysse provides more noticeable volume augmentation with greater flexibility and a longer duration.
vs. Restylane (Original)
The original Restylane is a versatile filler for nasolabial folds and lines but was not specifically designed for lips. Kysse's XpresHAn Technology makes it move and feel more naturally in the lip tissue.
vs. Juvederm Ultra
Juvederm Ultra is a popular lip filler with a smooth gel consistency. Kysse's unique cross-linking provides a more flexible result that many providers and patients find feels more natural during movement and expression.
vs. Restylane Lyft
Lyft is a thicker, firmer filler designed for cheek augmentation and deeper volume restoration. It would feel too stiff and rigid for lip use. Kysse is specifically engineered for the lip's unique tissue and movement demands.

What makes Restylane Kysse different from other lip fillers?
Restylane Kysse is the only lip filler built with XpresHAn Technology — a proprietary cross-linking process that creates a gel with a unique balance of flexibility and support. Unlike older HA lip fillers that could feel stiff or unnatural, Kysse integrates with your lip tissue and moves naturally with expression. When you smile, talk, or kiss, the filler flexes with your lips rather than resisting movement. This technology also contributes to a smoother texture and more natural color enhancement.
How long does Restylane Kysse last?
Restylane Kysse typically lasts 6 to 9 months in most patients, though some patients report results lasting up to 12 months. The lips are a high-movement area — you talk, eat, smile, and kiss thousands of times per day — which means filler metabolizes faster here than in lower-movement areas like the cheeks. Individual metabolism also affects duration. Maintenance treatments every 6-9 months will sustain your enhanced lip volume and shape.
Does Restylane Kysse hurt?
Discomfort is manageable and temporary. We apply a topical numbing cream to your lips 15-20 minutes before treatment. Additionally, Restylane Kysse contains built-in lidocaine that numbs the tissue as the filler is injected. Most patients describe the sensation as brief stinging or pressure. The lips are one of the more sensitive treatment areas for filler, but the combination of topical anesthetic and lidocaine in the product makes the procedure tolerable for the vast majority of patients.
How much swelling should I expect after Restylane Kysse?
Lip filler swelling is the most pronounced of any filler treatment area. Swelling peaks at 24-48 hours after injection and gradually resolves over 3-5 days. During the peak swelling period, your lips will look larger than the intended final result. This is completely normal and expected — do not judge your results during this period. By day 5-7, most swelling has resolved. The final result is best assessed at the two-week follow-up appointment.
Can Restylane Kysse be dissolved?
Yes. Because Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved at any time using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that rapidly breaks down HA. This reversibility is a significant safety advantage — if you are unhappy with your results or if any complication arises, the filler can be removed quickly. Dissolution typically takes effect within 24-48 hours. We always keep hyaluronidase on hand at our clinic.
How many syringes of Restylane Kysse do I need?
Most patients achieve their desired result with 1 syringe of Restylane Kysse for the initial treatment. Patients seeking more dramatic volume enhancement or those with very thin lips may benefit from a second syringe, either at the initial appointment or at the two-week follow-up. We always start conservatively — it is far easier to add volume than to correct overfilling. Your provider will recommend the appropriate amount during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
