About Restylane® and Perlane® What happens

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin. Its job is to help provide fullness and elasticity. Over time, skin loses hyaluronic acid. And as it diminishes, skin loses volume, increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear with repetitive facial movements.

You have the power to influence your appearance. Why live with visible signs of aging, environmental exposure or acne scars?

Restylane® and Perlane® provide rejuvenating cosmetic beauty treatments for a natural, younger—looking you. Restylane® is among world's best—selling dermal fillers. It is well tolerated, non—surgical and long lasting (usually around six months).

About Restylane® or Perlane® What is the difference?

Restylane® and Perlane® are both composed of hyaluronic acid. Perlane® has larger gel particles and is intended to be injected deeper within the skin.

How skin ages

Scientists used data generated by the human genome project (the international effort to decode human DNA) and found 1,500 separate genes that determine how long people's skin will stay smooth. Scientists are finding that lifestyle also plays a crucial role. Some 200 genes control the skin's defenses against these free radicals, which are actually molecules that travel around the body hurting the DNA. There's no stopping it: Your skin is going to change with age. But the good news is, there's something you can do about it.

Here are the facts following treatment:

1 — Young skin is smooth and full.
2 — Restylane® or Perlane® is injected into the skin to restore volume to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).
3 — Restylane® or Periane® gives natural—looking results by restoring your skin's fullness.

With years of experience, Restylane® is one of the world's best—selling dermal fillers.

How do they work?

The idea is simple—Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic dermal fillers that add volume within the skin.

They consist of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to skin.

After treatment with Restylane® or Perlane® , the hydrophilic, or "water loving," nature of the hyaluronic acid molecules allows them to bind many times their own weight in water as they slowly break down. This process helps maintain volume for about six months.

What do Restylane® and Perlane® do?

The explanation is really quite simple. Restylane® and Perlane® both use hyaluronic acid to replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). But what they don't do is just as important. You'll still look like yourself—just rejuvenated.

Where can Restylane® and Perlane® be used?

Restylane® and Periane® are FDA—approved for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

Are they safe?

Restylane is the world's most studied cosmetic dermal filler with more than a decade of use. Restylane® and Perlane® have well—defined safety profiles and are approved for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

Restylane® has been used in over 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. and is available in more than 70 countries, with dozens of studies published in medical literature. Clinical studies have shown no significant differences in the safety of Restylane® and Perlane®.

Restylane® and Perlane® contain no animal proteins. This may limit the risk of animal—based disease transmission or allergic reactions. Both products contain trace amounts of gram positive bacterial proteins and are contraindicated for patients with a history of allergies to such material. No allergy testing is required before use.

After your treatment with Restylane® or Perlane®, you may have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, and tenderness. This will normally last less than seven days.
