> I checked out restalyne and they do not put lidocaine in the actual syrigine as some companies do. But they do recommend lidocaine for comfort. So the licocaine part is OK, right?Yes.
I don't know the consequence of being exposed to the vasoconstrictor, but I can speculate that impaired circulation extends far longer than intended, due to the inability to inactivate the active drug. Possible nerve damage? Necrosis (worst case)?
