Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive? It's usually recommended that 2 syringes are used per eye; $1000 per syringe. Why is restylane so expensive? Is appears cheaper and more convienent to get an under eye implant atleast the results will be permanent where as with restylane you'll have to come back approximately every 6 months to 1 year for injections. Someone please help, I need undereye hollows filled but I can't afford $3000-4000 for restylane injections.

A: Restylane prices

Fees vary. My fee is lower and I think that you might want to comparison shop to verify that other skilled injectors in your area are in the same price range. All of the cosmoceuticals and injectibles cost plenty for the doctor to purchase from the manufacturer and, actually, the supplement for his time and expertise isn't terribly high. I personally find the notion of 4 syringes in a single sitting for the lower eyelids to be high. You haven't posted a photograph but generally I use 1-2 syringes for this area, so this is another issue that you should resolve by additional consultations.

Can the Doctor Test Us Beforehand to Make Sure We Are Not Allergic to Restylane? If I decide to get this done can they maybe inject a little spot on my hand or somewhere before just to make sure I'm not allergic or going to have a reaction. I would hate for them to inject the lines around my lips then i have an allergic reaction exspecially somewhere noticable. Thank you for your time.

A: Restylane allergy The odds of a Restylane allergy are so low that there is no pre-treatment testing. However, if you have severe concerns in this regard, you could opt for the smallest possible syringe and use only a portion of it in an initial treatment, returning to complete the treatment once you are convinced that you aren't allergic to the filler.

Restylane Under the Eyes Lasted Only for a Month...Is that possible? i'm 28 and i had one syringe of restylane injected under my eyes ( a half in each side ) and radisse injected to my cheeks in order to treat the hollowness. the results were amazing for the first 2 days but as the days past i noticed a bluish color under my eyes which wasn't really bad but looked like dark circles. i went back for a correction and again at first it looked really good than the bluish color appeared and after a month i didn't even noticed the volume... is that possible?

A: Restylane duration GIven your age, Restylane should last up to one year and, in my practice, the combination of Radiesse and Restylane can last even longer. I agree with Dr. Aldea. You haven't mentioned whether your injector was a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist or whether you've confirmed that the products were purchased directly from the manufacturers. Understand that, after treatment, you may experience bruising. Also, have a look at your pre-procedure photos as your internal perception of the initial condition may differ from the reality.
