Hyperpigmentation After Having Restylane in Nasolabial Folds

February 11, 2011
Asked By:Hunyb

I am Light asian skin and have had Restalyne in nasolabia area two months ago for the first time. At the same time I was also given some glycolic cream Jan Marini to use to help improve my skin. I used a factor 30 to protect my skin straightaway. Two months later I am now left with dark skin in the nasolabia area. My doctor has advised me to leave the Jan Marini products alone and to see if the hyperpigmentation goes away on its own. The hyperpigmentation has ruined the effects of the restalyn.
