Restylane,
Perlane & Juvederm
PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
Restylane®, Perlane®, & Juvederm™ are cosmetic dermal fillers that are injected into the skin, adding volume to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Restylane® & Juvederm™ are also commonly used to enhance the lips.
The appearance of wrinkles and facial folds can be smoothed and plumped by adding structure and volume underneath and bringing sunken skin back up to the surface. These products are made up of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all cells, and one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix, along with collagen and elastin.
The difference between Restylane®, Perlane®, and Juvederm™ is the gel particle
size and manufacturer. The physician will decide which product is right for
you based on an evaluation of facial wrinkles and folds, or natural lip size
during your consultation.
| Preparation |
 |
No allergy test is required. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. Johns Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements prior to treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
| Procedure |
|
These dermal fillers are administered by injection to the treatment site. As with all injections, some patients may experience discomfort. To increase your comfort, you may be given a topical anesthetic or a dental nerve block.
| Recovery |
|
After your treatment, you may have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, and tenderness. This will normally last less than seven days.
| Results |
|
Results can last 6-12 months, however we recommend regular touch ups treatments to maintain your look.
