Who I'ts For

Good Candidates? Is This Right for You?

Revanesse dermal fillers are appropriate for adults 22 years of age and older who want to address facial volume loss, soften lines and folds, restore structural definition to the face, or add volume to the lips. The two products in the line serve distinct purposes and are selected based on the treatment area and the patient’s specific goals.

Revanesse Versa+ is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, the pre-jowl sulcus, the mental crease, the cheeks and midface, and the radial lip lines of the perioral area. It is designed for injection into the mid to deep dermis and is used where the goal is volume restoration, contour improvement, or crease correction in the facial tissue.

Revanesse Lips+ is designed specifically for lip augmentation. It is formulated for the unique movement and tissue properties of the lips and is used for adding volume to the lip body, improving the definition of the lip border, and restoring lip fullness that has diminished with age.

Your nurse practitioner will assess your facial anatomy during your consultation, determine which product is appropriate for your goals, and recommend a volume and placement plan before any treatment begins. Patients are never asked to commit to a treatment or volume they have not first discussed and agreed to.

Arrive with clean skin. Remove all makeup and topical products from the intended treatment area before your appointment.

Stay well hydrated and eat a light meal before your visit.

Do not schedule this treatment within 4 weeks of laser resurfacing, intense pulsed light, chemical peel, or dermabrasion in the same area.

If you have a history of cold sores or oral herpes and are booking a lip or perioral treatment, disclose this before your appointment. Your provider may recommend antiviral prophylaxis.

CommON QUESTIONS

Revanesse Dermal Filler FAQs

Revanesse is a line of hyaluronic acid injectable fillers manufactured by Prollenium Medical Technologies. The line has been in use since 2002 and includes two products used at Express Med Spa: Revanesse Versa+, which is used for facial wrinkles, folds, and volume restoration, and Revanesse Lips+, which is designed specifically for lip augmentation. Both are clear gels injected beneath the skin to add volume and smooth the treatment area. Both contain lidocaine for patient comfort and are reversible with hyaluronidase if needed.

They are two different formulations designed for different anatomical purposes. Revanesse Versa+ is formulated for facial injection into the mid to deep dermis and is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and cheek volume loss. Revanesse Lips+ is formulated specifically for the lips, where the tissue behaves differently and requires a product designed to move naturally with the lips while providing soft, consistent volume. Your nurse practitioner will determine which product is appropriate for your treatment area and goal at your consultation.

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that occurs naturally throughout the body, including in the skin, joints, and connective tissue. In the skin, it plays a key role in retaining moisture and supporting tissue hydration and structure. The body’s natural hyaluronic acid diminishes with age, which contributes to volume loss and the appearance of lines and folds. Hyaluronic acid fillers mimic this natural molecule by adding a clear gel beneath the skin that restores volume and structure in the treated area. Because the body already contains hyaluronic acid, it recognizes and integrates the filler well, and the gel can be dissolved with a specific enzyme if needed.

We chose Revanesse for its clinical safety record, its formulation characteristics, and the consistency of its results across a range of treatment areas. The Versa+ formula uses long-chain hyaluronic acid and round, smooth particles designed to minimize the inflammatory response and integrate naturally into the tissue. Clinical data supports lower rates of swelling and pain compared to some other HA fillers on the market. For lip augmentation, Revanesse Lips+ is among a small number of fillers specifically formulated and studied for the lip area. The combination of clinical performance, global track record with over 8.2 million syringes used worldwide, and the fact that both products are reversible made Revanesse the right choice for our patients.

Revanesse Versa+ can be used to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, the cheeks and midface, the pre-jowl sulcus, the mental crease, and the perioral area including radial lip lines and oral commissures. Revanesse Lips+ is used for lip augmentation, including adding volume to the lip body and defining the lip border. Each of these areas has its own dedicated treatment page on our site where you can learn more about what the treatment involves, what results to expect, and how much product is typically needed.

Revanesse Versa+ is FDA-cleared for injection into the mid to deep dermis for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in adults 22 years of age and older. Revanesse Lips+ is FDA-cleared for lip augmentation in adults 22 years of age and older. Both products have been evaluated through clinical trials and have established safety data supporting their use.

Results vary by treatment area. For the lips, most patients see results lasting 6 to 12 months. For mid-movement facial areas such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines, results typically last 9 to 12 months. For lower-movement areas such as the cheeks and midface, results may last 12 to 18 months. Individual factors including metabolism, lifestyle, and the volume of product used all influence longevity. Each of our individual treatment pages includes specific duration information for that area.

Yes. Both Revanesse Versa+ and Revanesse Lips+ are hyaluronic acid fillers and can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, if you are not satisfied with your result or if a medical reversal is needed. This is one of the meaningful advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers compared to other filler materials that are not reversible. Express Med Spa offers Dermal Filler Reversal at all four locations for patients who require or request dissolution.

The most commonly reported side effects are swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, and mild pain at the injection site, all of which typically resolve within a few days to two weeks. Less common side effects include skin sensitivity, lumpiness, acne-like eruptions, infection, and in rare cases more serious complications including skin necrosis or vascular injury. As with any facial filler injection, there is a risk of unintentional injection into a blood vessel, which can lead to serious outcomes. A full risk discussion takes place at your complimentary consultation before any treatment is agreed to. Detailed risk information is also included on each individual treatment page.

Yes, and we offer them at no charge. A consultation is required before any first injectable treatment. It gives your nurse practitioner the opportunity to assess your anatomy, understand your goals, review your health history for any contraindications, and recommend the right product, area, and volume before any treatment begins. Many patients book their treatment on the same day as their consultation if they are comfortable proceeding. There is no obligation to book treatment at your consultation.

That is exactly what your consultation is for. The individual treatment pages in the list below can also help you understand what each area treatment involves so you can come to your consultation with a clearer sense of what you are hoping to address. If you are not sure where to start, the nasolabial fold, lip, and cheek pages are the most commonly relevant starting points for new patients exploring filler for the first time.
