What Are the Dangers of Restylane?
Restylane is an injectable dermal filler containing hyaluronic acid in gel particles. It is FDA-approved for mid to deep injection to fill facial wrinkles and folds and is considered safe to use. A dermatologist or cosmetic or plastic surgeon can employ the different formulations of Restylane to achieve desired results during a non-surgical office visit. Restylane does not contain animal products and hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body over time. As a sub-dermal injection, dangers from Restylane arise from injection site and depth and accurate placement of the dermal filler. Overcorrection is also not possible once injected.
