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.

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...

Restylane prices
The fee for restylane will vary around the country. There are several ways to treat the lower lid region: sometimes surgical and sometimes filler, and sometimes a combination. Fat grafting ti also an alternative.

Price for Restylane
The price per syringe is set by the doctor. In my practice it is rare that I use the entire syringe for the tear trough area, and have never used two full syringes. If you are requiring that much, then a tear trough implant and surgery would certainly be the way to go.

Those figures seem a bit pricey!
While we charge more on the line of $450 to $550 a syringe, I rarely use two syringes per eye area. Generally, one will suffice and overdoing it will only lead to issues if you aren't satisfied.
My recommendation is to go slowly initially and see how you like it. You can always do more in the future. Now, if four syringes were tackling the face areas that might be understandable, but to just do the under eye hollows, that could even be too much unless you need quite...

Price differs from one doctor to another
The injection of hyaluronic acid filler under the eyes (tear trough) requires great skill. Not any doctor is able to place it safely and correctly. While the price you have quoted is on the high side, it all depends on the doctor's pricing and his skills. You may actually be paying more for the skill rather than the product itself. There are some doctors who charge by the syringe no matter where they inject and it may actually be more beneficial for you to see them, provided they are of...

Unfortunately you are paying for the doctor not just the product.
The under eye area is the most sensitive treatment area of the face for fillers. The results can be fantastic but this is an advanced treatment area. The best services require pains taking attention to detail. The product can simply be slammed into the face. The top physicians and surgeon also command the highest prices. Orbital rim implants are no substitute for under eye fillers. If you and your surgeon think placing a tear trough implant is cheaper for...

Restylane injections for tear troughs are very cost effective
Hi. It seems some of the information you were given is not correct:
1) Almost nobody needs more than one syringe per eye. In fact the secret of success in this area is to inject tiny amounts, and to inject deeply under the muscle. Many people just need ONE syringe for BOTH eyes.
2) In Manhattan (which is a very expensive place), we never charge more than $2000 for treatment of tear troughs (under eyes), and usually less.
3) Because this...

Restylane for under eye hollows
Price varies widely for Restylane, but 1000 dollars is on the high side, likely because you live In a city where overhead for a doctor's office is exorbitant. I typically use one 1-2 syringes of Restylane at 600 per syringe. There are also half syringes that can be used so occasionally a patient might get 1 1/2 syringes. Restylane under the eyes typically lasts for a year. An experienced injector can usually improve the area significantly with one syringe...

Restylane Under the Eyes
Restylane under the eyes can lead to dramatic improvement in your overall appearance. This is generally recommended over eye implants depending on your goals.
Cost will depend on multiple factors--the most important being the skill of the injector, your geographic location, any rebates offered by the manufacturer, and cost of the product. Be wary of any deals that seem too good to be true, as you often get what you pay for.
In my experience, Restylane will typically last...

Why is restylane so expensive under the eyes
Restylane or any injectable is expensive when it is purchased from a reliable person. The exact price of the procedure varies from 700 to 1000 per syringe. These injections are really intricate and require deep placement of the material. I like to place these injections beneath the muscle in order to avoid lumps and bumps and discoloration.

Restylane cost for under eye area
The price of restylane, or any cosmetic procedure, depends on multiple factors, including doctor's experience and reputation, geography, demand in your area, and cost of the product to your doctor. I would make sure to choose a doctor with experience in injecting this area.

Cost of Restylane
First, cost of Restylane injections will vary. For undereye hollows (and really any areas, but particularly this area) I would recommend you see a physician who has a good amount of experience filling this area. Cost will depend on several factors: the experience and level of the person injecting, the city or place in which you live, any rebates available by the company, and cost of the product injected. Restylane isn't a cheap product to buy for physicians, plus our time and experience,...
