I had restylane injections under my eyes three weeks ago I now have small bags and a blue tint. The texture of my skin is also changed. I want to get the restylane out but do not want to do the injections to dissolve it. I wad wondering if ultrasound waves would help dissolve the product quicker?

Answer: Bluishness and Fullness caused by Overly Superficial Restylane Lower Lid Injections
The ONLY things which break up hyaluronic acid filles (Juvederm,Restylane, Perlane) are time and hyaluronidase, an enzyme. Most people prefer not to wait a year waiting for the Resylane to dissolve and for them the only solution currently on the market is using the hyaluronidase injections. Using other modalities in the hope they would somehow magically work is a waste of your time and money.
Sorry.

Answer: Reversing Results of Restylane Injection
Hi simpson1317 i,
As other cosmetic specialist have stated, ultrasound will most likely not reverse the results of Restylane injection and typically not recommend around the eyes. Hyaluronidase the best option to reverse or remove hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm). Hyaluronidase is given via a small injection to remove Restylane, with results typically within days. The option is to wait and allow the Restylane to slowly dissolve with time. Speak with your Restylane injector to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
