Why Would Restalyne Not Be Effective After 5 Days?

I had Restalyne injections 2 years ago and it lastd the average amount of time.

Restylane not lasting

Restylane not lasting as long as used to

There actually are a number of possibilities as to why you aren't getting the same results you had 2 years ago. Most likely, you need more product injected than you did before.

Because of the high cost they elect for only one vial and are often disappointed with the outcome. I always counsel my patients that multiple vials are often needed when lines and furrows are deep so there are no surprises when... more

Restylane and results

It is difficult to comment on exactly what the problem is without being the one to have injected you. It is very injector specific. The restylane is still in there but obviously not giving you the desired effect. Perhaps you need more?
