Redefine Your Facial Contour with Restylane
Restylane Contour is a newly-FDA approved hyaluronic acid filler designed to complement your natural expressions and restore youthful facial definition in the midface and cheeks. The midface is an anatomically defined area comprising the eyes, malar space (between eyes, cheeks and nose) and the maxilla (upper jaw). Our midface is a prominent and important area that can often be the first to show signs of aging. Similarly, our cheekbones do so much to define our face shape. Indeed, for some celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Mads Mikkelsen, their cheekbones are one of their most recognizable facial features! It is therefore well-established in the cosmetic surgery world that a fuller, healthy-looking midface denotes beauty, youthfulness, and vitality.
As integral facial features, our cheeks should provide an aesthetic balance to our overall visage. Unfortunately, because our cheeks are key face-shaping features, we tend to notice when they change over time as we age. Research has shown that individuals in their 30s onwards begin to experience changes in their facial structure which contribute to flattening and hollowing in the cheeks. (1) That’s why Restylane created its Contour filler; to provide patients with a solution for cheeks in need of a more youthful aesthetic.
The doctors at Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics are here to provide you with the very best med spa treatments to recontour and rejuvenate your facial features!

About Restylane Contour
Restylane Contour received FDA approval for cheek and midface augmentation in 2021. (2) The Restylane line of dermal fillers utilizes hyaluronic acid (HA) to achieve effective rejuvenation results. As an essential group of molecules already present in the body, HA provides the skin matrix with essential structure and hydration. Plus, injecting hyaluronic acid into targeted areas stimulates the body’s own production of collagen!
Through the aging process, the HA in our skin gradually diminishes. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane Contour work to counteract the effects of aging by replacing lost tissue volume. (3) The hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid, and its biocompatibility with skin tissue, make it the perfect choice as an injectable filler. But, why is Restylane Contour so suited to cheeks in particular? The answer is its unique XpreSHan Technology!
What is XpreSHan Technology?
If you’ve been hesitant to try dermal fillers because you’re afraid of that “overdone” look, you’re not alone. “Frozen,” jutting features can draw the wrong kind of attention. This is why Restylane uses XpreSHan – a unique filler technology that moves with your facial expressions and blends in seamlessly with your unique features.
This effect is achieved by cross-linking the HA (which improves its skin penetration) and calibrating the viscosity and thickness of the gel for specific areas of the face. Although HA is naturally occurring, the HA used in dermal fillers has been carefully modified on a molecular level to improve its performance. “Cross-linking” the HA molecules has allowed the scientists behind Restylane to carefully calibrate its viscosity and thickness. Restylane is able to achieve targeted, feature-specific rejuvenation results with fillers intentionally designed with a range of flexibility. (4) Luckily for patients, this means there’s a Restylane product to suit every area of the face! With Restylane Contour technology, you can achieve a subtle, refreshed, more youthful look that is both natural and effective in restoring lost volume.

Restylane Contour Procedure
Once you arrive at one of our seven Skin Perfect locations with a clean face (free from foundation and products), we will make sure you are comfortable, then begin the short injection procedure. A member of our medical team will use a fine needle to introduce the Restylane Contour into strategically placed areas in the cheeks and midface. As Restylane Contour contains lidocaine, these numbing properties will make the experience virtually painless. Although every facial rejuvenation treatment procedure is different, most are complete within one hour!
Recovery & Results of Restylane Contour Treatment
There may be some localized swelling and temporary discomfort in the coming days. However, the results of your cheek augmentation will become more noticeable in the coming weeks, and the discomfort will subside. Our patients choose Restylane Contour to successfully address their hollowed cheeks and restore a youthful appearance. Though Restylane is a reliable, FDA-approved dermal filler, every patient is different and results may vary.
Corresponding & Complementary Procedures
Restylane contour is one of the many Restylane treatments. Take a look at the Restylane range of treatments we offer at Skin Perfect and how they could complement your Restylane Contour.
Restylane – As the classic, clear hyaluronic filler, the original Restylane formula is a mainstay at most med spas! It can help to rejuvenate and re-volumize areas of the face with moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. It is particularly effective in smoothing smile lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.
Restylane Kysse – Moving to the mouth, Restylane Kysse addresses lost lip volume. It has a lower viscosity than other Restylane products, so it can plump the lip area evenly. Like Restylane Contour, it uses XpreSHan technology to integrate seamlessly with your natural lip contour and expressions. This creates natural-looking, volumized lips.
Restylane Lyft – Another low viscosity filler, Restylane Lyft, is designed for mild to moderate creasing. This is the first and only FDA-approved filler to correct volume loss in not only the face, but the hands, too! It can also be used to smooth under-eye hollows, plump the lips, and enhance brow volume.
Restylane Refyne & Defyne – Using XpreSHan technology, Restylane Refyne & Defyne can be used for natural-looking improvement of the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, sunken eyes, and other dynamic areas of the face with dynamic wrinkles and lines. Restyline Refyne is a flexible filler injected deeply into facial tissue that targets mild to moderate lines. Restylane Defyne is injected deeper still, and is more viscous, meaning it has a firmer feel, ideal for treating moderate to severe folds and lines.
