Can I Have Restylane While Taking Hair Loss Medication?

Hi Ambler,

  It is good that you are cognizant of which medications you are taking and it is important that you discuss these (including over-the-counter and herbal) medications with your physician. However, there is no contraindication to receiving injections of a hyaluronic acid filler (like Restylane, Juvederm, etc.) and being on spironolactone.

Good luck and take care!

We have not seen that Restylane's effectiveness or longevity is affected by Spironolactone.  There should not be any affect on the Spironolactone's metabolism by the Restylane. Restylane is a hyaluronic acid, which we all have in our dermis in the skin.  It is a mucopolysaccharide and binds water. The water it holds to make the plumping effect will not dissipate by the Spironolactone's diuretic property  (water pill that increases urination to lower blood pressure) .

Hi Ambler,

It is okay to have your Restylane injections while taking Spironolactone.  Just make sure that you let your treating physician know.  Good luck and be well.
