Bottom Line:I just got restylane today for depressed scars on my face due to acne. I have had the scars for 10 years and finally today a dermatologist reccomended restylane. I could see immediate improvement, it didn't hurt too much, about teh same as popping a pimple, which is how I got these scars in the first place! The cost was $332 and the doctor is saving the leftover for a week to see if he can put any more in. If this lasts, I say it is worth every penny!

Pros:NONE FOR ME
Cons:EVERYTHING
Bottom Line:Do not EVER let a physician talk you into treating line scars with NO depression with Restylane. If you have a scar with a straight line, applying Restylane will only bring the scar to the surface and make it much more pronounce.

I had Restylane applied to my facial scar last week, and it made it look 5 times worse.

The laws of physics are applies here: Every reaction has an opposite reaction. The process may work well if you have indentation, but for scars with no indentation, it will only raise your scar.
Recommended:No
Usage:Restylane Moron has used this item for about a week.

Pros:I haf aquamid done in the UK over two years ago to fill out acne scarring. The material is still in my skin and knock on wood I haven't had any problems.
Cons:I have very light bruising to this day in certain injection points which I believe is due to the fact that I have had two CO2 laser surgeries prior to the injections.
Bottom Line:For under $850 a syringe for permanent improvment in scars this is the only thing that really worked for me.

Bottom Line:I had Restylene injected into my top lip nearley 6 months ago. I had also had Aquamid (perm. filler) in the top lip 2 years ago. Within 24 hours my top lip had swollen to the point of causing agonising pain. Then masses of puss. This is apparently a clash of chemicals. I have been on siprofloxacin (anti biotics) for 6 months and apparently have to wait for the restylene to wear off before I can stop taking them. If I am not on anitbiotics at least 3 different areas of my top lip swell and leak puss. I have never known anything as awfull as this in my life! Please do not ever use any permanent with non permanent fillers. I may still have to have the Aquamid removed some how. Someone needs to document what happened to me!

i had a restylane injection two weeks ago for facial scars. i am feeling like i overpayed after reading all the comments. i payed $1000.00, but i do get to go back in tomorrow for a touch up for free. i noticed a small improvement. believe i am happy for any improvement, but i don't know if it is worth $1000 every six months. i was bruised and had marks from the needle for a week. i wish there was a lasting reliable product out there.

I had two Restylane injections about two months ago for depressed scars. I was very swollen afterwards and my cheek continues to swell on occassion which is definately noticeable. Also I had a very small scar which was slightlty indented underneath the depressed scar that I had filled with restylane and now this scar is stretched and a lot larger in lenghth than it was before. Restylane only brings the scar closer to the surface and in my case can make any minor scars that are by the injection site even more noticeable than they previously were. As for the other scar that I had filled with Restylane which is deeper than the scar on my cheek I have a lump right above the scar which I didn't expect because I was not aware that the Resylane would migrate to another area besides where it was injected. I had my injection done by a Dermatological Surgeon cost:$300.00
