How long will the Resylane in my cheek last?

January 13, 2022
Asked By:Courageous777717 in Wadgaon, Maharashtra, India

I've recently injected with 0.8ml of Restylane® (the basic one, not defyne,refyne,lyft,silk etc) in my right cheek for acne scars. I'm not very satisfied with the results, but instead of using hyaluronidase I've decided to wait it out. So how long will it take to dissolve completely & by when can I start seeing some visible drop in volumes (half life/mid point). Also, it's been 8 weeks since the injection so can I proceed with treatments like microneedling & Subcision, or should I wait more ?
