Will Restylane Injections Help with the Tired Look?

Hi, I am 38 years old and have under my eyes and a rather visible nasiolabial fold. I was told at a clinic this could best be treated with 2ml restylance subq, as both features are the result of volume loss. Filling the eye area would not be enough to start with, but perhaps be needed after the injection of the subq filler. I would like to ask you if this sounds plausible. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should help with this if done by a good injector

This is tricky to get to work right, so don't blow it by going to a person who is poorly trained. Good luck!

Under eye hollows and smile folds corrected by filllers

Restylane subQ is more viscous than Restylane and might create an overcorrected appearance even if it is injected below the plane of the muscle. It is a good filler for the smile creases. I would prefer Restylane or Juvederm for the under eye hollows.

Filler for Nasolabial Fold

I like perlane or radiesse for prominent nasolabial folds. The radiesse goes a long way and stays around longer. Restylane is a better option for the tear trough and the lips. Hope that helps.
