Galderma announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Restylane® Defyne for the augmentation and correction of mild to moderate chin retrusion for adults over the age of 21. In 2020 alone, online searches for chin enhancement increased by 185 percent, reinforcing the emerging patient need for a product like Restylane Defyne. Restylane Defyne is the first and only chin filler to demonstrate results* across a wide range of participants, including participants with all skin types, male subjects and subjects† over the age of 52. Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler that was first approved in 2016 by the FDA for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe deep facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in subjects over age 21.
“My patients often come to me asking about new treatment options to continue looking their best. Many are surprised when I explain the impact of chin augmentation and how balancing the lower face is key to helping achieve total facial attractiveness, said Anne Chapas, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon in New York and an investigator in clinical trials of Restylane Defyne for chin. “The lower part of the face is constantly in motion, so it is important for patients to have the option of a dynamic filler like Restylane Defyne that is scientifically developed to adapt to their facial expressions."
Restylane Defyne is the only FDA-approved filler designed for use in the chin that is produced using Galderma’s unique manufacturing process, XpresHAn Technology™, globally referred to as the OBT technology (Optimal Balance Technology), which creates a smooth, injectable gel that integrates into the skin for natural, dynamic movement. Treatment with Restylane Defyne in the lower face, using XpresHAn Technology™, has shown to produce highly satisfactory natural looking results.
“This marks Galderma’s 8th FDA aesthetics approval in 5 years, illustrating our long-term commitment to advancing aesthetics through new innovation,” said Alisa Lask, General Manager and Vice President of the U.S. Aesthetics Business at Galderma. “The chin is the foundational anchor of the face that brings the rest of your features into balance. Consumers can now address the chin with a non-surgical, safe option from a brand that uses cutting-edge XpresHAn TechnologyTM to shape and produce long-lasting results.”
