What Determines the Needle Size in Restylane? Has the size of the needle changed over the years to improve the injection process of fillers like Restylane, or is it more in the technique?

A: Needle Size With Restylane

Restylane comes pre-packaged with the needle recommended for injection. It is a small needle which both minimizes the discomfort associated with injection and also helps in the placement of small volumes when this is desired.

Occasionally, I Have Herpes Simple Outbreaks on my Nose, caused by too much sun. I am interested in having Restylane injections to remove wrinkles from upper lip and around mouth. Is there any possibility that the Restylane would induce the Herpes outbreak?

A: Herpes & Restylane

With your history of repeated herpes simplex infections of the nose, you are at an increased risk of having herpes with any sort of procedure in the area. Although your risk would be much greater with a chemical peel or laser resurfacing, I still think that it is advisable to have suppressive therapy around the time of your Restylane injection. I personally prefer Zovirax and would recommend that it be taken beginning 3-4 days before and continuing for 3-4 days after the procedure.
