Will Restylane under eyes be damaged by heat applied to that area?

Thank you Major Tom. I believe heat does not alter the metabolism of the dermal fillers and it should be safe to have your treatments.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Lindsay Schweikarth, a physician assistant with Dr. Constantino Mendieta, discusses if Restylane under the eyes can be damaged by heat.Typically, the breakdown of hyaluronic acid injection and is determined by your own body's system and metabolism. You don't want to apply heat from a something such as a laser at the same time because that can burn the product. 

Hello there,Thank you for your question.  There have been many studies that state lasers that introduce heat into the skin do not break down the product as well as most fillers including Restylane are heat-sterilized.  With that being said, there are providers who will use a last-toning 1064 Nd:YAG to smooth a "bump" after filler by making it more malleable.  Putting heat packs are for your health, which should always come before an elective procedure.  As long as you don't rub the area or massage it immediately after applying heat, there shouldn't be any change to your filler.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon
