Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with visible signs of it. If you’re noticing deeper laugh lines, marionette lines, or a loss of youthful volume, RestylaneⓇ Refyne may be the ideal solution for a natural-looking, non-surgical refresh. This advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler is designed to smooth away wrinkles while preserving your facial expressions and movement.
At Dr. Mimi Lee’s practice in Little Rock, Arkansas, patients can trust in her expertise, precision, and artistic touch to achieve results that look refreshed yet completely natural. With two decades of experience in microinjections and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Lee ensures that every patient receives a personalized approach to their aesthetic goals.
What Is RestylaneⓇ Refyne?
RestylaneⓇ Refyne is a next-generation dermal filler specifically formulated to address moderate to severe nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and volume loss. It utilizes XpresHAn Technology™, a unique cross-linking process that gives the gel superior flexibility and softness. This allows the filler to move naturally with facial expressions, creating a smoother yet animated look that doesn’t appear stiff or overfilled.
The Benefits of RestylaneⓇ Refyne
For those seeking a refreshed, youthful look without surgery, RestylaneⓇ Refyne is a standout option. It smooths wrinkles, restores volume, and preserves natural expression, all with minimal downtime. Here’s why it’s a favorite for non-surgical rejuvenation.
Immediate improvement in skin smoothness and volume
Experience a noticeable difference right after treatment, with smoother, more youthful skin that looks refreshed yet natural.
Soft, flexible gel that moves naturally with facial expressions
Unlike some fillers that create a stiff or frozen appearance, RestylaneⓇ Refyne is designed to move with your natural facial expressions, maintaining a soft and effortless look.
Minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime
The treatment requires only a few small injections, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately after, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.
Results that last up to 12 months
With optimal care, the effects of RestylaneⓇ Refyne can last up to a year, providing long-lasting enhancement without the need for frequent touch-ups.
Lidocaine-infused formula for a more comfortable injection experience
The built-in lidocaine helps to numb the treatment area, ensuring a more comfortable and pain-free experience during the procedure.
A non-surgical option to restore youthfulness
Without the need for incisions or lengthy recovery times, RestylaneⓇ Refyne offers a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles.
With its ability to enhance and refresh while keeping your expressions natural, RestylaneⓇ Refyne offers a reliable, elegant solution. It’s a simple way to look like yourself, just more rested and radiant.
How RestylaneⓇ Refyne Compares to Other Dermal Fillers
Each dermal filler has unique benefits, and the right choice depends on your goals, facial anatomy, and desired level of correction. Here’s how RestylaneⓇ Refyne compares to other popular options:
JuvedermⓇ
A widely used hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to smooth wrinkles and restore lost volume. It offers a soft, plumping effect that works well in various areas, including the lips, cheeks, and smile lines.
JuvedermⓇ Voluma
Specifically formulated to add volume to the cheeks and midface, Voluma provides a lifting effect that helps restore youthful contours. While Voluma is excellent for deeper structural support, Refyne may offer a more flexible, natural-looking correction for dynamic facial areas.
JuvedermⓇ Vollure
A Juvederm filler known for its balanced formula that softens moderate to deep wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, while maintaining a natural feel. Like Refyne, it is designed to be long-lasting and adaptable to facial movement, but the two differ slightly in texture and flexibility.
RadiesseⓇ
A unique calcium hydroxylapatite filler that provides immediate volume while also stimulating natural collagen production. It is often used for deeper facial folds or areas needing structural support. Unlike Refyne, which is a hyaluronic acid filler, Radiesse gradually stimulates long-term collagen production but is not reversible.
RestylaneⓇ Refyne stands out for its ability to soften lines while maintaining facial movement, making it an excellent choice for dynamic areas. Dr. Mimi Lee can help determine which filler best suits your aesthetic goals for the most natural and balanced results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for RestylaneⓇ Refyne?
You may be a great candidate for RestylaneⓇ Refyne if you:
Are 21 years or older
This treatment is FDA-approved for adults seeking a subtle and effective way to address signs of aging.
Have moderate to severe smile lines or marionette lines
If you’re noticing deepening lines around the mouth or from the nose to the chin, Refyne can help soften their appearance for a smoother look.
Want a natural-looking enhancement without looking overdone
Refyne is formulated to maintain natural facial movement, making it ideal for those who want results that are refined—not obvious.
Prefer a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation
Without the need for incisions or downtime, Refyne offers a minimally invasive way to refresh your appearance.
Have realistic expectations about results
The goal is enhancement, not transformation. Patients who understand the subtle yet impactful nature of the treatment tend to be most satisfied.
Note: Patients with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or active skin infections may not be suitable candidates and should consult with a qualified provider to explore safe alternatives.
Is RestylaneⓇ Refyne Safe?
Yes, RestylaneⓇ Refyne is FDA-approved and extensively tested for safety and effectiveness. Its key ingredient, hyaluronic acid (HA), is naturally found in the skin, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
This filler is designed to integrate smoothly into the skin, providing natural-looking results while maintaining flexibility. The treatment is performed with fine needles for precision and comfort. While mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, these effects typically resolve within a few days. Choosing a skilled provider like Dr. Mimi Lee ensures both optimal results and patient safety.
What to Expect From Your RestylaneⓇ Refyne Treatment
When you choose RestylaneⓇ Refyne at Dr. Mimi Lee’s practice, you can expect a thoughtful, professional experience from start to finish. Here’s what the treatment process typically looks like, so you can feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
Step-by-Step Office Experience
Consultation With Dr. Lee
Your experience begins with a personal consultation. Dr. Mimi Lee will take time to evaluate your facial structure, listen to your goals, and explain your options in detail. Together, you’ll develop a customized treatment plan designed to enhance your natural beauty with results that look balanced, subtle, and refined.
Preparation
Before your treatment begins, the targeted areas will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a clean and safe environment. A topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort, although the product itself includes lidocaine to help minimize sensitivity throughout the procedure.
Precise Injection Process
Using an ultra-fine needle or cannula, Dr. Lee will skillfully inject RestylaneⓇ Refyne into the chosen areas. Her technique focuses on achieving a smooth, natural contour while preserving the character of your facial expressions. The filler is gently massaged to ensure even distribution and optimal blending with your natural tissue.
Immediate Results & Minimal Downtime
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in volume and smoothness. Some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to work or social activities right away, and makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours. Full results settle in over the course of one week, revealing a refreshed, natural look.
Aftercare: Ensuring a Smooth Recovery
To maximize your results and minimize side effects, follow these simple aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours, unless instructed otherwise by Dr. Lee.
- Limit strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and prevent irritation.
- Apply a cold compress if needed to alleviate minor swelling or tenderness.
- Stay hydrated to support skin health and help the filler integrate smoothly.
- Skip alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for a few days to reduce the risk of bruising.
Dr. Lee will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery is smooth and results are optimized.
How Long Does RestylaneⓇ Refyne Last?
The effects of RestylaneⓇ Refyne typically last between 9 to 12 months, depending on factors such as metabolism, skincare routine, and lifestyle habits. To extend the longevity of your results:
- Use high-quality skincare products to maintain hydration and skin elasticity.
- Apply sunscreen daily to prevent sun damage and premature aging.
- Schedule touch-up treatments as needed to maintain consistent volume and smoothness.
Dr. Lee will assess your results over time and recommend a personalized maintenance plan to keep your skin looking refreshed, radiant, and beautifully natural.

Dr. Lee will review your medical history to ensure a safe experience and provide aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal. RestylaneⓇ Refyne is formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps reduce sensitivity during the procedure. Additionally, Dr. Lee uses fine needles and gentle techniques to keep patients as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
How soon will I see results?
You can expect to see improvement immediately after treatment. While some swelling may be present initially, final results typically settle within one week, revealing a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

On average, results from RestylaneⓇ Refyne last between 9 to 12 months. Individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare routine can influence the longevity of your outcome.
How can I maintain my results?
To extend your results, follow a high-quality skincare regimen that includes hydration and sun protection. Avoid excessive sun exposure, use SPF daily, and schedule touch-up treatments with Dr. Lee as recommended.
Can I go back to work after the procedure?
Yes. Most patients return to their regular activities right after treatment. If there’s any minor swelling or redness, it’s usually mild enough to cover with makeup and won’t interfere with daily life.
What makes RestylaneⓇ Refyne different from other fillers?
