Restylane Refyne in Beverly Hills

Flexibility Is the Point

Restylane Refyne is built with XpresHAn technology, which produces a gel engineered to stretch and recoil with facial movement. The design goal was straightforward: correct the fold at rest without producing a lower face that looks rigid when you laugh.

That matters because the lower face never stops moving. Speech, smiling, and eating flex the tissue around the mouth thousands of times a day. A filler that is too firm in that environment can feel like a ridge and look unnatural in motion — fine in a photograph, wrong in conversation.

Refyne is the softer, more flexible of the pair; Defyne is its firmer counterpart for deeper folds.

Best suited to

• Mild to moderate nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines that are visible but not deeply etched
• Highly expressive patients who dislike any sense of stiffness
• Thinner skin where a firm filler would show as a ridge

Why Patients Choose Modern Aesthetica

Dr. Moghadam injects — personally

Filler is not a commodity procedure. Where product sits relative to bone, muscle, and vasculature decides whether a result looks refreshed or overdone. At Modern Aesthetica the founder and medical director, Dr. Daniel Moghadam, performs the injections himself rather than delegating to a technician.

Facial assessment before product selection

We do not begin with a product. We begin with what is actually happening in your face — where volume has gone, how your skin behaves when it moves, how light falls across your cheekbones. The right filler follows from that. Sometimes the answer is a different treatment entirely, and we will say so.

Conservative dosing, reviewed

We would rather place less and refine at your follow-up than overfill. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed, but a face that has been overcorrected takes real time to recover its proportions.

Transparent pricing

Fillers are priced per syringe. You will know how many syringes are planned and what the total is before anything is injected. Current offers are on our promotions page.

What to Expect Afterward

Expect some swelling and the possibility of bruising — this is an injection, and the face is vascular. Most swelling resolves within three to five days, and the result you will keep is visible at about two weeks.

• Stay upright for the first four hours and skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid alcohol the day of treatment — it worsens bruising
• Do not massage or press the area unless we specifically instruct you to
• Arnica or a cold compress helps if you bruise easily
• Stop fish oil, high-dose vitamin E, and NSAIDs a few days before if your doctor permits

Call us at (213) 895-4730 if you develop unusual pain, blanching or dusky discoloration of the skin, or vision changes. These are rare, but they are treated urgently — one more reason to be injected by a physician.
