What Is Restylane® Defyne™?

Restylane® Defyne™ (formerly known as Emervel Deep) is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler with XpresHAn Technology™ for deep to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Its firm gel provides powerful structural support while maintaining flexibility — using different particle sizes to correct at multiple tissue depths. Defyne is comparable in use to JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus but with superior expression preservation.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Defyne treatment is performed with artistic precision using cannula technique for smoother, deeper delivery with minimal bruising. Accuvein technology visualizes blood vessels during injection to virtually eliminate bruising. Defyne’s advanced cross-linking significantly reduces swelling and pain compared to earlier filler generations, making treatment remarkably comfortable even for deep fold correction.

How Restylane® Defyne™ Works

Defyne treatment follows a precise, deep-correction protocol:

Dr. Avaliani evaluates your deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and facial dynamics to design a natural correction plan

Defyne’s firm XpresHAn gel is precisely injected using cannula technique with Accuvein guidance into deep tissue layers

The multi-particle gel provides structural support at depth while smaller particles smooth the surface for seamless, natural-looking correction

The firm yet flexible gel moves with your facial expressions, maintaining a natural look whether you’re smiling, talking, or at rest

Results are visible immediately and last 6–12 months, with the filler naturally breaking down over time

Concerns We Treat with Defyne™

Deep Smile Lines

Severe nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Defyne’s firm gel provides the structural support needed for deep fold correction while XpresHAn Technology preserves natural movement — you can smile and laugh freely.

Deep Marionette Lines

Pronounced lines running from the mouth corners downward that create a heavy, aged appearance. Defyne’s powerful correction lifts and supports these deep folds, restoring a more youthful jawline and lower face contour.

Lower Face Aging

Significant volume loss and fold formation in the lower face that makes you look older than you feel. Defyne provides the strong support needed to restore lower face structure while maintaining natural-looking results.

Jowl Correction

Pre-jowl folds and early jowl formation along the jawline that soften facial definition. Defyne’s firm gel restores structure along the jawline, creating a more defined and youthful lower face contour.

Chin Creases

Deep horizontal creases and mentalis strain lines on the chin that create a dimpled, textured appearance. Defyne’s firm support smooths and reinforces the chin area for a cleaner, more refined lower face.

Comprehensive Correction

Multiple deep lines and folds requiring substantial correction. Defyne can be combined with Refyne for moderate lines and other Restylane products for a comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses every layer and depth of aging.

Restylane® Defyne™ Details

What makes Restylane® Defyne™ ideal for deep fold correction:

XpresHAn Firm Gel
Defyne’s cross-linking technology creates a firm yet flexible gel specifically designed for deep fold correction. Unlike rigid fillers that restrict movement, Defyne maintains natural facial dynamics while providing the structural support needed for severe wrinkles. Comparable to JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus but with superior expression preservation.
Multi-Depth Correction
Defyne uses varying HA particle sizes to correct at multiple tissue depths simultaneously. Larger particles provide deep structural support while medium particles address mid-level folds and smaller particles smooth the surface. This comprehensive approach is what makes deep corrections look natural, not overfilled.
Extended Duration
Defyne’s firm gel and advanced cross-linking provide results lasting 6–12 months — among the longest-lasting in the Restylane family for lower face correction. The formula is fully reversible with hyaluronidase, providing an important safety advantage. Pro-Nox nitrous oxide is available for additional comfort.

Does It Hurt?

Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)

Restylane Defyne treatment is very comfortable despite correcting deep folds. The advanced cross-linking technology significantly reduces swelling and pain compared to earlier fillers. Dr. Avaliani uses cannula technique and Accuvein technology for virtually bruise-free results. The Vibrata tool further decreases injection sensation. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available upon request.

Treatment takes 15–30 minutes. There is minimal to no downtime — resume normal activities immediately. Mild swelling, if any, typically resolves within a few days. Results are visible immediately and last 6–12 months. The filler is fully reversible and naturally breaks down over time.

Feel Calm. Stay in Control. Look Amazing.

Reduced Anxiety

Settle into a calm, relaxed state before and during your treatment — no stress, no tension.

Less Discomfort

Enhanced comfort for your treatment, so you can focus on your results.

No Downtime

PRO-NOX

Nitrous Oxide

Available On Request

For patients who prefer an extra layer of relaxation, Pro‑Nox™ provides a gentle, calming effect that wears off instantly. Most patients find their treatments very manageable — but it’s always here if you want it.
