I have alopecia areata and get kenalog injections in my scalp. Is it still safe to get Restylane injections in my face?

Yes, you can still get Restylane. Keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello,Yes, completely safe as the two treatments do not have any effect with each other.  Good luck on the filler treatment.

Kenalog injections in the scalp are not expected to affect Restylane injections in the eyelid-cheek junction area. Hope this helps!!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery

There is no problem getting fillers or Botox when you are getting treatment with steroids for alopecia areata

Thank you for your question.  Yes it is safe and will not affect your filler.  Good luck!  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
