WHAT ARE RESTYLANE AND PERLANE?
Restylane and Perlane are FDA-approved dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin.
WHAT IS RESTYLANE AND PERLANE MADE OF?
They are made of hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance that already exists in the human body. It hydrates and adds volume to the skin as well as smoothes wrinkles and folds. Perlane® has a larger particle size to correct deeper wrinkles and folds.
ARE THEY SAFE?
Yes. Dermatologists have used them all over the world for years. After your treatment, you might have some redness, bruising, or swelling. This will normally last less than 7 days. Sun exposure and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappears. We have products available to minimize any side effects.
CAN RESTYLANE AND PERLANE BE USED ANYWHERE ON THE FACE?
Both products are FDA approved and can be used in any area of the face. Restylane can also be used to add volume to the lips.
HOW LONG DO RESTYLANE AND PERLANE LAST?
Studies have shown that they last for about six months. Recent studies have shown that they induce new collagen formation, which may explain why repeated treatments last longer and longer.
DO THE INJECTIONS HURT?
Restylane and Perlane are injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultra fine needle. The procedure is simple and convenient, with practically instantaneous results. The injections may cause some discomfort. We have medicines to minimize this.
WHAT SHOULD I DO PRIOR TO TREATMENT?
Restylane and Perlane do not require pre-testing, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, discuss this with the doctors.
WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR RESTYLANE AND PERLANE?
Only a licensed professional with the knowledge and skill required to achieve optimum results should administer Restylane or Perlane.
HOW ARE RESTYLANE AND PERLANE DIFFERENT FROM BOTOX?
Restylane and Perlane are natural cosmetic fillers. Botox is a purified protein that reduces frown lines between the brows. Botox and fillers are frequently used together for an enhanced and long lasting effect. Monthly HydraFacial MD treatments and usage of SkinMedica LipPlump System can also help your skin look healthy and radiant.
