Restylane for Cellulite? Have you used Restylane for cellulite? How were the results?

Celluite is like a mattress surface. The indentations are being pulled down by bands of connective tissue. This area corresponding to the infrastructure of the "mattress button" can't be simply pushed up by filling the area underneath. In fact, the filler may spread to the area encircling these vertical bands and lift the "shoulder" of the skin around the indentation making it appear more of a depression. Subcision can be done where the bands are cut by a small needle and then the filler is injected. This is a very costly treatment and not without risk, and may not provide long term improvement. Bruising can last for a few weeks.

Yes, in fact this might work.  However, each cellulite dimple might take a syringe or more of Restyalne to fill.  This would be a very expensive proposition!  Like I say to my patients:  These new fillers can do almost anything you can think of and do it better than surgery.

There are not many treatments for cellulite and those that claim to improve cellulite really make little if any difference.  Theoretically injecting Restylane or any dermal filler under any indentation may help smooth it out a bit temporarily.  However, the amount of Restylane that would be necessary would likely make it cost prohibitive for a minimal effect.  Good luck.
