Why can I buy Restylane at an online pharmacy if a doctor has to inject it?

It is not always clear what you are getting on-line.  The packaging may look legit, but there are lots of counterfeit drugs out there.  I do not know of any doctor who would inject something that a patient had obtained elsewhere. 

Go to a reputable doctor, see the package, let him do the injection properly with legitimate product.  It is your face, not the place to cut corners.
