Will having an ultrasonic facial treatment (or using an at home ultrasonic device) cause Restylane to dissolve faster or cause any other potential problems?

Answer: It is improbable that these treatments will have any bearing on the Restylane.
The answer is yes; however, I would not have the treatments on the same day. I usually like to space treatments at least a week or two apart to avoid over inflaming the skin. Since lasers to remove hair target the pigment in the hair follicles, fillers such as Restylane are not affected.
Fillers do not stretch the skin in a way that is permanent after the filler absorbs. When the filler is injected, in is basically occupying an empty space and adds fullness to the area. When the filler absorbs or is metabolized, the skin goes back to the way it use to be...
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice without examining you in person. However, if necessary you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
