There's no evidence that Restylane is unsafe for patients with various autoimmune disorders.  Generally speaking, Restylane's safety profile is excellent, and I have many patients with various autoimmune diseases that get excellent results with this filler.

There is no link between Restylane or any other filler and autoimmune disease. You should have no problem and it works well for under eye area Be sure you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon

Fillers such as Juvaderm, Restylane and Voluma are all hyaluronic acids which is a natural substance in our body which is then made in a laboratory. there is no relationship to them and autoimmune diseases, Plus you cannot get things like mad cow disease or other weird brain diseases from these injections.good luckdavid berman md
