Restylane and Perlane – Now Available at our Practice

Here by popular demand, we’ve now added the dermal fillers Restylane and Perlane to our line-up of treatments for unwanted wrinkles and folds in the face.

Unlike other dermal fillers, Restylane and Perlane are made with hyaluronic acid, a natural chemical already present in the body — and present in abundance in young, smooth skin. As we age, we begin to lose hyaluronic acid, revealing more wrinkles, creases and folds such as the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Restylane and Perlane are clear gel formations of hyaluronic acid that are injected into the areas patients want to be plumper and fuller — filling in those unwanted lines. Seventy percent of patients receiving the treatment report that the results last up to six months after just one treatment.

What’s the difference between the two products? “The products are made with the same materials. But Perlane has, on average, larger particles in it than Restylane. This makes it the better choice for deeper or more severe folds, where the injection needs to go deeper into the skin,” Dr. Chariker said. “Both these products are generally regarded as among the best dermal fillers out there. We’re pleased to be able to offer them here,” he added.
