Restylane Stimulating Collagen? Is there any truth to this?

baggy12
i've been reading that restylane, though it is temporary, often permanently improves the appearance of the area it was injected into by stimulating collagen. is there any truth to this? does it vary a lot? i would love if my 'baseline' tear troughs were improved so that my touch-ups would not need so much filler. i used 2 on my tear troughs and would like to be able to pare it down to 1 injection a year. i am very young, early 20s, so is there a good chance that i will get the benefits and need less?
