Kysse

Kysse is one of the more affordable fillers at $750 per syringe. With a result duration of 9-12 months, and over 86% of treated patients saying they would choose Kysse, Kysse is a great choice for both results and cost-effectiveness.

Most patients use just 1 syringe of Kysse for their lips, but it can vary. Generally speaking, the number of syringes of filler you’ll need is difficult to guess without having seen you for an evaluation and discussion of your goals. However, we did write a whole page dedicated just to the discussion of how many syringes of filler patients typically end up having, by area, and filler type (as well as what that will run you price-wise).

Kysse has been available for a number of years in Europe, but only recently received FDA approval, allowing it to be used in the United States. This is a good thing for patients because it means we have a (relatively) long history of use to prove its safety and efficacy.

Kysse tends to create much less swelling than other fillers, but you can expect some mild swelling, especially within the first 48 hours, and redness at the injection site often lasts for up to an hour. Bruising is possible with any injection, but we rarely have lip filler patients experience that. If you do have bruising, please let us know because we offer complimentary laser treatments to break up the bruise and dramatically speed its clearance. The only serious and long-lasting side effect or risk of Kysse is occlusion, where filler could block flow in a blood vessel, which can be quite serious. We discuss occlusion risks with our patients during treatment, but it’s important to know our physician injectors are not only trained in how to inject to create great results, and how to safely inject, but also how to dissolve filler if things go wrong.

No, because Kysse already has lidocaine, a powerful numbing agent, mixed in. You should feel tiny sticks upon entry, much like what you experience with Botox, and numbness in the treatment area which wears off in about an hour or so. If you are anxious or sensitive, we can use lidocaine to perform a “nerve block,” where we inject the numbing agent directly into your nerve bundles, just as the dentist does when you get a cavity filled – although this will mean you’ll be numb for much longer. Let us know if you’d like to discuss that option during your free consultation or next treatment!

Kysse was shown to last 9-12 months in the lips during a clinical study.
