Restylane & Perlane

The Restylane family of products offers a nonsurgical solution to add volume in your face. This can help to give you a more youthful appearance and help reduce certain signs of aging.

As we get older, we may begin to lose facial tissue volume. Restylane adds volume with hyaluronic acid. To restore facial contours and help you attain a more youthful appearance, talk to Dr. Morrell to see if Restylane is the right injectable filler for you.

Restylane is a clear, non-animal based gel that is injected into the skin with a fine needle to add volume and thereby restore skin contours and smooth lines. The main ingredient of Restylane is hyaluronic acid, a substance also naturally present in the human skin, with the important ability to attract and bind to water molecules to help maintain volume. The exact duration of effect depends on the treatment area and should be discussed with Dr. Morrell.

Perlane, like Restylane, is a dermal filler and is a long-lasting gel that, once injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle, lift and add volume and help diminsh fine lines. Made of a natural substance called hyaluronic acid, it is a completely safe treatment. The hyaluronic acid in Perlane simply supplements the body’s age-depleted hyaluronic acid to plump-up the lip or to raise the skin and ‘fill in’ the particular wrinkle being treated.

The difference between Restylane and Perlane is the size of the particle (with Perlane containing more hyaluronic acid). This means that Perlane does a better job of filling deep lines while Restylane is used in fine lines or in thin skinned people.

These products last for between six and nine months, although individuals will have varied results.

Perlane is an excellent treatment for wrinkle correction, lip enhancement, smile lines and deep folds.
