Restylane and autoimmune disease?

Having an autoimmune disease is not contraindicated for Restylane. You may find that a combination approach is best for the results you want. I use fillers in combination with lasers, microneedling/prp for deep tear troughs and darkening under the eyes. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you so much for this question. Restlyne is hyaluronic acid (HA) based filler. It is used to add volume and lift and fill parts of your face that have aged. Aging causes you to lose volume - especially fatty volume, but muscle and bone volume too. Restylane restores fullness and can reduce lines. These are hypoallergenic and not likely to stimulate your immune system. Most patients are happy with the more youthful appearance that can be achieved and I have not witnessed any autoimmune flare-ups.

Thanks for your query. Restylane is not natural but is made of hyaluronic acid which is found in abundance in the body. It is very unlikely that it will trigger an autoimmune response to hashimoto’s thyroiditis. So, it is safe to get restylane done without any complications. Hope it helps.All The Best
