Is restylane subq used in the USA? And is it FDA approved?

Question

A few years ago it was not marketed in the usa because it caused lumps, is it still true?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

I have practices on both the Upper East Side of Manhattan and in Raanana, Israel. Unlike in Israel and Europe, Restylane SQ is not approved in the U.S. With the introduction of so many new and robust volumizing fillers, particularly in Israel, in recent years I have been using SQ far less than in the past. I have found products such as Emervel Volume, Stylage XXL, and Voluma XC (now also available in the U.S.) to yield equally long-lasting, but smoother results compared to SQ.

In the US only restylane L, restylane silk and restylane Lyft are approved by the US FDA.  Best, Dr. Emer.

there was always a form of subcutaneous Restylane in the United States. It was called perlane. I think they just changed the name

Glenn Messina, MD · Answer

Restylane is designed to be injected into the dermis but a sub Q injection is often done and is not a deviation of medical care. Lumps can be from administering pearls of the product and not making the smooth , granuloma formation and just movement or clumping of the product.

If you are asking is there a Restylane called Restylane SubQ in the USA no there is no and if it was administered in the USA then it was not FDA approved since it was manufactured for overseas sale. It dosnet mean its bad in means the FDA did not evaluate this product. However it is illegal to inject patients in the USA with imported products.
