Restylane Contour Sherman Oaks
Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed for natural-looking midface enhancement. The cheeks and midface contours are the first areas to show signs of aging through the loss of shape and elasticity and Restylane Contour was designed to reverse these signs.
What is Restylane Contour?
Restylane Countour is an FDA-approved filler formulated with XpresHAn Technology, resulting in a smooth injectable gel that lifts and volumizes the area in a very natural way. The flexible and dynamic nature of this product allows the gel to move with your facial expressions making it ideal for treating midface deficiencies.
XpresHAn Technology
XpresHAn is a novel technology that makes Restylane Contour special. It is called Optimal Balance Technology worldwide. This reduces the cross-links between Hyaluronic acid molecules. The result—softer more pliable gel.
XpresHAn molecules integrate with the soft tissues. This ensures they move naturally as you make different facial expressions.

”…I’ve had juviderm lip fillers before but my experience with Restylane Kysse was even better. With Kysse I used one syringe and got exactly what I wanted. Fuller, and natural but a little glam. Kysse adds a little pink color and made my lips look a lot more hydrated right away…”

“I had a really great experience at CIC. It was my first time getting lip filler. I booked a consultation in office and was able to have the procedure done during the same visit. Melody was very kind, patient, and professional. She took the time to explain everything in detail which made me feel more comfortable as it was my first time having any cosmetic procedure done. She also followed up and checked on me. I’m really happy with the results and the experience I had with Melody at CIC. The reception staff was also very friendly. The facility is clean and beautiful. I would recommend Melody for your cosmetic needs. Thank you Melody and CIC team!”
