Perlane and Restylane
A Safer and
Better alternative to
Botox
Perlane
and Restylane are an
exciting new group of
filler materials.
In cosmetic surgery,
answers have long been
sought for problems of
fine lines about the
face such as wrinkles
of the upper lip,
glabella frown lines
(wrinkles between the
eyebrows) and
"crows feet"
around the eyes. The
new hyaluronic acid
based substances such
as Perlane and
Restylane have been
widely and effectively
used in Canada and
Europe.
Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronase),
the basis of the
Perlane and Restylane
injection is found
throughout the body as
the gel that connects
human cells.
Hyaluronic acid usage
has been developed by
Q-Med in Sweden. They
have been able to
stabilize the
molecules of
hyaluronic acid by
cross-linking them.
For the potential
cosmetic surgery
patient, Perlane or
Restylane offers a
promising solution.
- As
opposed
to
currently
used
filler
materials
of
long-standing,
hyaluronic
acid
based
filler
materials
do
not
require
a
skin
test
or
a
30
day
waiting
period.
This
means
the
patient
can
come
in
and
have
Perlane
or
Restylane
injections
the
day
of
their
office
visit.
- Another
advantage
of
the
hyaluronic
acid
based
filler
material
is
that
it
is
long
lasting
and
can
last
up
to
6
or
7
months.
The
thicker
Perlane
version
can
last
up
to
one
year.
Side
effects of injection
are the common ones
found with fillers
currently in use such
as redness and
swelling for a day or
two. Adverse reactions
have been infrequent
and self-limiting. In
about one out of every
two thousand
injections, redness
and swelling can last
up to 2 to 4 weeks but
will disappear.
In a simple procedure,
Restylane®
is injected directly
into mid-to-deep
dermis for
long-lasting
correction of facial
wrinkles and folds.
Results from a typical
Restylane
treatment have been
documented to last for
about six months.
However, individual
results may vary.
