TEOSYAL® RHA KISS

Product Overview: TEOSYAL® RHA KISS

TEOSYAL® RHA KISS is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, transparent, viscoelastic gel formulated with resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA) technology and containing 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride for patient comfort. Developed by Teoxane Laboratories (Geneva, Switzerland), RHA KISS is specifically engineered for the dynamic region of the lips. Its unique properties, derived from the patented RHA process preserving long HA chains in a mobile network, allow it to integrate smoothly and adapt naturally to the frequent movements associated with smiling, talking, and kissing.

This formulation is indicated for subtle lip volume augmentation, lip contour definition, hydration, and the correction of fine perioral lines. It is often supplied in a 0.7ml syringe volume, facilitating precise application for natural-looking results.

Note: This medical device is intended solely for use by licensed medical professionals trained and experienced in lip anatomy and dermal filler injection techniques.

Mechanism of Action and Properties

TEOSYAL® RHA KISS utilizes Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) technology optimized for the lips. It possesses a specific balance of stretch and strength (rheological properties) suitable for providing volume and shape while accommodating the extensive mobility of the lip tissues. When injected into the lip mucosa or appropriate dermal plane for perioral lines, the hyaluronic acid provides immediate volume enhancement and attracts water for improved hydration. The RHA technology aims to ensure the filler moves cohesively with the lip tissue, reducing the feeling of stiffness and promoting a natural result during expression.

The integrated 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride provides local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort during the delicate lip injection procedure.

Longevity of results typically extends over several months, but varies based on individual factors like metabolism, lifestyle, amount injected, and injection technique.

Indications and Usage

TEOSYAL® RHA KISS is specifically indicated for aesthetic enhancement of the lips and perioral area, including:

• Subtle lip volume augmentation (plumping)
• Enhancement of lip contour definition (vermilion border)
• Improvement of lip hydration and texture
• Correction of fine vertical lip lines (perioral wrinkles)

Injection should be performed into the lip mucosa or the mid-dermis for perioral lines by qualified practitioners, using appropriate injection techniques tailored to the lip anatomy and desired outcome.

Expected Outcomes

Professional administration aims to deliver:

• Natural-looking enhancement of lip volume and shape
• Improved definition of the lip borders
• Soft, hydrated lips that move naturally
• Reduction of fine lines around the mouth
• High patient satisfaction due to comfort and natural feel

Potential Adverse Events

Given the vascularity and sensitivity of the lip area, practitioners must thoroughly discuss potential side effects. Common, generally temporary reactions include:

• Common Reactions: Swelling, bruising, redness (erythema), pain or tenderness at injection sites, temporary palpable firmness or lumps. Due to the nature of the lips, swelling can sometimes be more pronounced initially but typically resolves within a few days to a week.
• Less Common/Rare but Serious Reactions: Prolonged swelling or firmness, significant bruising/hematoma, infection, hypersensitivity/allergic reaction, nodule or granuloma formation, skin discoloration, vascular occlusion (a rare but serious complication requiring immediate intervention), tissue necrosis (rare).

Careful technique and knowledge of lip anatomy are crucial. Patients should report any severe, prolonged, or unexpected reactions immediately.

Storage Conditions

Store between 2°C and 25°C. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight. Do not use if package is damaged.
