Modern technology has progressed to the point where one can get a lift and regain one’s youthful look through simple, safe and fast treatments without resorting to surgery. Lunch time procedures like Restylane and Perlane injections effectively improve deep wrinkles and sunken areas of the face resulting in a fresher, smoother look.

Restylane and Perlane are composed of bio-compatible hyaluronic acid in crystal-clear gel form. Hylaluronic acid is a natural substance present in all living organisms which helps create volume resulting in healthier, younger-looking skin.

Treatment with Restylane and Perlane is relatively safe and simple and does not involve surgery. No skin test is required prior to the procedure, as these gels do not contain animal protein, chemicals or known allergens.

BEFORE		AFTER

How do Restylane and Perlane work?

Water is the source of all beauty. Water also gives life and resilience to your skin. Restylane and Perlane make use of Hyaluronic Acid in an injectable form to bind with water already in the skin in order to lift and create firmness. And because the products allow for the free passage of vital nutrients like oxygen and hormones between fragments of the gel, the result is a natural, healthy-looking skin.

What are the treatments like?

During the treatment, a crystal clear gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The treatment is well tolerated by the average individual but some discomfort may be felt when enhancing the lips. A local anesthetic may be administered to numb the area treated. The session often takes less than 30 minutes and the results are instantaneous.

After treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur like redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness but these subside within a few days to a week after the treatment. Bruising may occur at times. Of course, the degree of any of the reactions depends on the individual.

Where can Restylane and Perlane be used?

Restylane is generally used for wrinkle correction around the eye area and lips, and can also be used for lip enhancement. It can be injected superficially since it’s granulas are much finer.

Perlane, on the other hand, is used for shaping facial contours, such as the cheeks and chin, for correcting deep folds and for volume augmenation of the lips.

How long do Restylane and Perlane injections last?

While the results of Restylane and Perlane injections are long-lasting, they are not permanent. It will depend on the individual’s age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity.

In the case of wrinkles and facial contouring, most patients choose to have follow-up treatments 6 to 12 months after their initial treatment. In lip treatments, a follow-up is normally required after about 6 months.

Are Restylane and Perlane treatments safe?

Yes. Treatments are very safe and untoward reactions are uncommon. Restylane and Perlane are products made under stringent control and have a long record of success with many satisfied users. More than 300,000 people have been successfully treated in more than 40 countries around the world.
