What is Stylage?
Stylage is a brand family of hyaluronic acid fillers made by Vivacy. It includes products of different densities for different areas.
Products in the Stylage range are made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel, and some contain lidocaine. According to the manufacturer, some Stylage products also contain an antioxidant component intended to help protect the structure of the gel. The products come in different densities for needs ranging from fine lines to deeper volume loss, and there are separate products for the lips. Product names and indications can vary from country to country.
Stylage is one of the hyaluronic acid filler brands that patients ask about. A brand name alone does not determine suitability, however. What matters is that the chosen product fits the treatment area, is authentic and registered in Türkiye, and is placed with a technique based on sound anatomical knowledge. It is not accurate to rank brands against one another in general terms; the choice is made by the doctor according to the needs of the area.
Where can Stylage be used?
The Stylage range includes products for fine lines, lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin and deeper volume loss. Which product is used depends on its approved indication and the doctor’s assessment.
More fluid products are designed for fine lines and superficial treatment, medium-density products for areas such as the nasolabial folds, and denser products for areas that need structural support, such as the cheeks and chin. Lip products are described as flexible enough to adapt to the movement of the lips. Indications are set out on the product label, and which product is chosen depends on tissue thickness and the effect you are aiming for.
The fact that Stylage has a product designed for an area does not mean that product suits that area in every person. Tissue thickness, previous treatments and facial proportions all influence product choice. Taking products from other manufacturers into account as well, the doctor decides at an in-person consultation which option fits the needs of the area. You can always ask about the reasoning, and the decision is discussed with you.
What is Stylage treatment like and what happens afterwards?
Treatment is similar to other hyaluronic acid fillers and is carried out with a needle or cannula after assessment. Swelling and bruising may occur in the first days.
Once the area and product have been agreed at consultation, the skin is cleansed, a numbing cream may be applied and the product is placed slowly and in a controlled way at the appropriate depth. The duration depends on the area treated. If several areas are treated, a different product may be chosen for each and the plan built up in stages. A short observation period follows, along with aftercare advice specific to the area.
Swelling, redness and bruising usually settle within a few days, and the final result is generally assessed after two to four weeks. How long the effect lasts depends on the product, area, amount and metabolism, and it may be shorter in mobile areas such as the lips. Because Stylage products contain hyaluronic acid, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. A follow-up appointment allows the result to be reviewed.
What are the risks and limits of Stylage?
The risks are similar to other hyaluronic acid fillers: swelling, bruising, tenderness and, rarely, vascular occlusion or delayed reactions. The brand alone does not determine how safe a treatment is.
Rare but serious risks such as vascular occlusion are closely linked to the anatomy of the area and the injection technique, and they call for extra care in sensitive areas such as the nose, under the eyes and the temples. The doctor’s anatomical knowledge, choice of instrument and layer, slow injection and having hyaluronidase available are all part of safe practice. If you notice an unexpected symptom after treatment, contact your doctor without delay.
Stylage does not replace surgery where sagging or excess skin needs to be corrected. Treatment is avoided or postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with an active infection or with a known allergy to an ingredient. To confirm authenticity, you can check the box, the batch number and registration details for Türkiye. Sharing details of previous treatments also helps your doctor plan safely and choose a suitable product.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Stylage come from?
Stylage is the hyaluronic acid filler range of the French manufacturer Vivacy. Products used in Türkiye must be registered and traceable in Türkiye.
Is Stylage used for lip filler?
The Stylage range includes products designed for the lips. Which product suits your lips is decided after assessing their structure and your expectations.
How long does Stylage last?
It depends on the product, area, amount and your metabolism. A personal estimate can be given at consultation once the product and area have been decided.
Is Stylage different from other brands?
Each manufacturer offers different production technologies and product ranges. There is no general superiority between them; the doctor chooses according to the area and the properties of the product.
What does the antioxidant in Stylage do?
According to the manufacturer, the antioxidant component added to some Stylage products is intended to protect the hyaluronic acid gel against breakdown caused by free radicals. This is a design choice in Stylage products; on its own it does not mean a longer-lasting effect or a better result. How long Stylage lasts still depends on the area, the amount and the individual.
What do Stylage S, M, L and XL mean?
The letters S, M, L and XL in Stylage product names roughly indicate the gel’s density and the depth at which it is placed. According to the manufacturer, S is generally for fine, superficial lines, M for medium-depth lines, L for deep folds and XL for areas needing volume and support, such as the cheeks and chin. The choice depends on the treatment area.
Is Stylage Hydro a filler?
No, according to the manufacturer, Stylage Hydro is a hyaluronic acid injectable designed to support skin hydration and quality rather than to add volume. Stylage Hydro is given as many small injections into the skin, usually as part of a plan of several sessions. For volume loss or contouring, the filler products in the Stylage range are considered instead.
What does “Lidocaine” in a Stylage product name mean?
“Lidocaine” in a Stylage product name shows that the local anaesthetic lidocaine has been added to the gel to reduce discomfort during treatment. The same Stylage product may come in versions with and without lidocaine. If you have a known allergy to lidocaine or similar local anaesthetics, telling your doctor before treatment directly affects which product is chosen.
