I had under eye Restylane® treatment at a Medi-Spa a couple of years ago. I was really unhappy with that service and I think that I still have a visible bluish streak in my lower eyelid from the treatment. Is there anything that can be done about this?
This is a testament to how long Restylane® can last. Not all treatments are equal. The material is being used to sculpt your face. You need someone who really understands the anatomy and how to best place the material. You may be surprised to learn that many Medi-Spas are actually illegal businesses. In California, the Medical Board required that a doctor be on the premises and perform a good faith examination before a nurse can treat you. It is not sufficient that a doctor serve in the capacity of “medical director” with no actual physical presence. Just say no if your aesthetician wants to come at you with a needle. The good new is that the bluish streak, which represents very superficial Restylane®, can easily be removed with a tiny nick in the skin or by injection with an enzyme, hyaluronidase, that breaks the product down.
