Restylane Massaging

I don't know that Restylane dissolves faster with massage, I doubt it.  There is no proof one way or the other.  Certainly massage will disperse the product and that can smooth out an area that is overfilled.  Remember, there is no need to disperse the product if you can only feel a fullness, this is normal, only disperse the product if you can see a fullness and you don't like it.

Massaging Restlyane
