Buying Restylane Online and Injecting Yourself?

Restylane and all dermal fillers like it (anything that is injected through the skin for that matter) are prescription products that legally can only be sold on order of a prescibing physician. So if you are not a doctor and are able to purchase Restylane online, someone is breaking the law. Either the product isn't really Restylane (this is quite likely) or someone is breaking the rules by selling it. More importantly, good results with dermal fillers require experience, training, sterile technique, and the ability to manage any potential complications. This is not a do it yourself product!

Very bad idea. Very bad.  Aside from the fact that you risk paying for a product that may be counterfeit or contaminated, without having a knowledge or understanding of facial anatomy you can potentially permanently disfigure your face.  It's just not worth it.  Don't risk it.

It’s always a bad idea for patients to perform
self-diagnosis and self-treatment.Without appropriate training this approach can result in therapeutic
disasters.Injectable fillers require a
unique skill set and specialized training.Without this skill set complications are inevitable. It’s
also illegal to obtain Restylane without a medical license.If you’re able to illegally obtain Restylane
there may be quality control issues as well.In some cases, the material may not even be sterile. Based
on these considerations, self-injection of fillers is a bad idea.Not only is there the potential for poor
aesthetic results, but there’s also the potential for significant
complications.If you’re considering
Restylane, the safest approach is to consult a board certified specialist who
has experience in this area.
