Michael A. Persky, MD answers: How long should I wait before I get my Restylane injections "topped up"?

My restylane in nasio folds last about 3 months, should you wait until the product has completely dispursed before having it repeated. Is there any "layering"effect in not waiting for all the product to disolve?

Good Day Maley,

You can always add to filler already in place if you wish for more correction.  You need not wait for the product to dissolve.  You may want to try Perlane (a thicker, sometimes longer lasting form of Restylane)  in the future.  Be well and enjoy your Vegi-mite.

A: 6 months until gone!

It usually takes 6 months before Restylane is gone. If you wish to "always look natural" don't wait until its effects are completely gone though! You can always do a layering effect and in fact even use heavier fillers like Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus to give you more of a fill deeper in the skin. If you use the same category of product in the same area it is very unlikely that you will have any complications with your injections, provided they are placed in the correct plane in the skin.
