Description
Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine Dermal Filler 1 × 1 mL
Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler medical device developed by Galderma for deep tissue volumisation, contour enhancement, and correction of moderate to severe facial folds. Formerly known as Restylane Perlane, this formulation is designed with a high lifting capacity to restore lost facial volume and improve structural support in areas affected by age-related volume depletion. The inclusion of lidocaine enhances patient comfort during injection.
The gel is engineered for deep dermal to subcutaneous placement, providing robust support while integrating naturally with surrounding tissue. As part of the Restylane filler range, Restylane Lyft is intended for areas requiring pronounced lift and definition rather than superficial wrinkle correction.
What Restylane® Lyft Is Similar To
Restylane Lyft can be regarded alongside other high-strength volumising hyaluronic acid fillers designed for structural support and deep wrinkle correction. Within the Restylane portfolio, it represents one of the firmest gels, positioned above softer formulations intended for fine lines or skin quality improvement.
Compared with lighter fillers, Restylane Lyft filler offers increased projection and resistance to deformation, making it suitable for treating deeper folds and restoring facial contours. In some clinical contexts, Restylane Lyft for lips may be considered for structural lip support, though its primary indication is facial volumisation rather than delicate lip contouring. This comparison is provided for clinical orientation only and does not imply interchangeability.
Treatment Areas / Indications
According to manufacturer documentation, Restylane Lyft with Lidocaine is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and for facial volume restoration.
Treatment areas may include:
Cheeks • Nasolabial folds • Marionette lines • Chin • Jawline • Facial contours • Lips (for structural support where clinically appropriate)
→ Use in the lips should be based on practitioner experience due to the product’s firm, volumising properties.
