Restylane/Perlane

FDA approved Restylane® offers longer lasting facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction.

Restylane® improves the resilience and youthful contours of your skin and its ability to counter the effects of gravity, time, wind and weather. Restylane® plays an important role giving volume to the skin, shape to the eyes and elasticity to the joints. Restylane®, composed of Hyaluronic Acid, is found naturally in your skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic Acid has a chemical structure similar in many ways to sugar and is identical in all species and in all tissue types, making Restylane® a very safe product for you.

Each of us has natural lines that can be improved. Restylane® can be used to give you a long-lasting and natural beauty lift: smoothing wrinkles and folds, and gives your mouth a fuller, more sensuous appearance, and makes your lips more luscious.

Combine your Restylane® treatment with your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment for a 'BOTOX®-Filler Facelift!'. For the first time, we have achieved the "fountain of youth" in a syringe! Schedule your complimentary consultation today, to see if you would benefit from a combination of these two impressive procedures. You have nothing to lose but your wrinkles!

Description for Perlane

Perlane is an injection that can get rid of wrinkles and enhances areas of your face immediately. Some of those areas include the lips, superficial lines around the mouth, forehead lines, and smile lines. Perlane is a non-animal Hyaluronic Acid, manufactured by a unique method in the Q-Med Laboratories in Sweden. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occuring substance in the body so it naturally dissipates into the body with time. All living organisms have

Hyaluronic Acid in their bodies. In humans this is the substance that creates volume in ones face, giving it a healthy, young appearance. You can imagine what Hyaluronic acid does for a face when you consider the rounded face of a child, which forms into adulthood, and eventually receeds toward the skull causing furrow lines. When these are augmented by Perlane, this crystal clear Hyaluronic Acid combines with your own to revitalize the face. What about pre-tests? There are no pre-tests! Some bio-degradable implants require a test because they have been extracted by animals, but Perlane is not, and therefore there is no risk of allergic reaction. Common uses for Perlane™ include:

  • correcting folds and wrinkles of the face
  • acne scars
  • nasolabial folds (between your nose, mouth and cheeks)
  • horizontal (upper forehead) frown lines
  • glabellar (lower forehead) frown lines
  • chin augmentation
  • depressed corners of the mouth, also known as marionette lines
  • lip enhancement, including treatment of the edges of the lips and wrinkles around the lips to stop lipstick from leaking from your lips onto the surrounding skin Other uses for Perlane™ include:
  • filling subcutaneous skin defects
  • filling of orbits of the eyes
  • augmentation of cheek bones, chin or bridge of the nose
  • correcting some irregularities of the nose
  • filling small facial bone or hand bone defects
  • augmentation of the nipples

Regimen

About the Restylane® Regimen

The Restylane Regimen gives you a look that lasts.

What is the Restylane Regimen?

It's a way to help you get the most out of your Restylane treatments. The Restylane Regimen is a treatment plan that involves an initial treatment and a follow-up treatment 4.5 or nine months later. On average, only half the amount of Restylane injectable gel used at the initial treatment was needed to achieve full correction at the follow-up treatment.

Restylane is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved to last up to 18 months from initial treatment of moderate to severe nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) when patients followed the Restylane Regimen.

With Restylane injectable gel, time is on your side

At least 95% of patients saw results for up to 18 months when they followed the Restylane Regimen.

In a clinical study treating the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth (laugh lines), Restylane continued to provide improvement for up to 18 months after initial treatment, when each fold received a follow-up treatment at 4.5 or nine months. On average, only half the amount of Restylane used at the initial treatment was needed to achieve full correction at the follow-up treatment.

Using the Restylane Regimen, patients showed similar improvement, on average, at 18 months compared to their Week 2 Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) score.
