Restylane and Juvederm have lidocaine, but Belotero and Radiesse do not. If you cannot find Restylane without lidocaine then consider other products.Good luck!
The majority of hyaluronic acid fillers are now packaged with lidocaine. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to lidocaine then your physician may order Restylane without lidocaine. There is no difference in the effectiveness of the Restylane and I actually feel that the comfort level during injection is relatively similar.
Thank you for your question. Most hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine. If you have a sensitivity to lidocaine your physician can order some product without it. However, most physicians should have some for patients who are lidocaine sensitive. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!
Thanks for your question. Most of the HA fillers of today contain lidocaine. If you have a sensitivity to lidocaine, it is not hard for your provider to have some product without lidocaine – they may need to order it if they do not have it in stock, but many keep some for patients who are lidocaine sensitive.
I assume you may be allergic to lidocaine which is very rare but if you are your doctor can get Restylane without or use Belotero which is a hyaluronic acid filler without lidocaine
Thank you for your question. Plain Restylane can be ordered by your physician. I would venture to guess that most Dermatologists do not stock it, but can easily acquire it from Galderma if you require treatment without lidocaine. Inquire with your board certified Dermatologist prior to treatment. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
I think it really just depends on the facility - Restylane without lidocaine is a commonly available product for purchase by medical facilities but I would recommend calling ahead to see if they have the product prior to making an appointment.

The permanent fillers are a significant risk. Lumps and bumps that are easy to manage with hyaluronic acid fillers can not be resolved when the filler is permanent. Six months of benefit for a 1/2 syringe is very good. More filler may hold up longer. However, I really think the filler shou...
The most common reason for a bluish purple Mark following injection is a common bruise. Unfortunately, when the needle is placed under the skin occasionally a small blood vessel may be affected and may bleed causing a bruise. Fortunately, this goes away. One other issue is that if a lot of...
This is very simple and non-invasive procedure, within minutes your eyes will look refreshed, you may have some swelling and bruising for the first couple of days. I suggest you seek an experienced injector who can provide you with the look you're trying to accomplishKenneth Hughes MD
I would not say that it is normal to have bruising after a Restylane injection, but it certainly is possible and can occur. Any injection can cause bruising, so sometimes it may happen and sometimes it may not. Ice packs on and off to the area can help with bruising and if you feel the issue i...
