Is Restylane Tested on Animals?

I would visit Restylane's website and also contact the manufacturer for all potential side effects, contraindications, and a thorough understanding of the product and it's developmental phases.

Like it or not, medicines are not given to people without first testing them on animals.  Restylane does not require the type of vigorous testing needed for botulinum toxin.  Each lot of Botulinum toxin is tested on animals to assure  and verify its safety.  The issue is different for cosmetics, many of which are now specifically not tested on animals.

Restylane is Non Animal Derived Hyaluronic Acid.  That means the product itself does not come from animals.  However, in the initial development phase of Restylane years ago, it may have been tested on animals.  The best way for you to get an answer would be to contact Medicis directly.  They manufacture Restylane.
