Coming soon to La Fontaine in Denver! We are the first Medical Practice in Colorado to receive Defyne. Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid filler from the Restylane family of products. FDA-approved in December 2016 and expected to be released in 2017, it is approved for the correction of deeper wrinkles of the face such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).
Restylane Defyne is a smooth gel that provides good support of deeper wrinkles. In clinical studies, it was shown to be quite comfortable during injection as numbing medication called lidocaine is mixed into the filler itself. Because of how the hyaluronic acid stands within Restylane Defyne are bonded together, the gel is smooth and integrates well into the area of injection. Also due to its filler structure, Restylane Defyne may provide a longer duration and allow less swelling than some previous fillers used for wrinkle reduction.
