Many practitioners today are offering to their clients the option of
combination treatment where pairing products can provide optimal,
three-dimensional results. Dermal fillers may be categorized as
temporary, semi-permanent or partially permanent as the results of
treatment will lessen over time as one continues to age. Despite the
variance in longevity, maintenance is essential for continued results.
Inquire with your practitioner how long the product/s are expected to
last based upon the type, amount used and specific areas treated.
 Restylane
smoothes wrinkles and enhances lips instantly. If you would like to get
rid of wrinkles and folds or if you want to improve the image of your
lips, there is a new answer to your needs. Restylane is an innovation
based on non-animal hyaluronic acid, manufactured by a unique method in
the Q-Med Laboratories in Sweden. Injecting Restylane into the skin or
lip performs the treatment, and because no pre-test is needed it takes
less than 30 minutes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and
therefore it also dissolves naturally with time. Restylane has been used
extensively in Europe, Canada and South America for years, and the
results so far have been extremely positive.
How long the effect of Restylane treatment lasts is very individual. It
depends on many factors such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle and
age as well as on the degree of perfection demanded by the individual.
However, we know that for the majority of the patients treated about
50-80% of the effect remains after 6 months. Most people choose to have
a touch-up done within a year of the original treatment.
The great thing about Restylane is that you can replenish your natural
beauty whenever you feel the need. A touch-up can be performed any time
you like after the previous treatment.

Restylane has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons
since 1996 worldwide. Because Restylane is non-animal-based and fully
biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. There is virtually no
risk of animal based disease transmission or allergic reaction. The most
commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at
the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three
days.
Perlane®
is used to smooth moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles such as
the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds).
Perlane®
generally lasts for about 6 months. It has been found to be a safe
dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin.
Perlane®
is injected into the skin with an ultrafine needle. It plumps the skin
to smooth away wrinkles and folds.
Perlane®’s
water-loving
nature attracts and binds water molecules to help maintain volume.
Perlane®
is composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists
in the body. The hyaluronic acid in
Perlane®
is a crystal clear gel that is chemically cross-linked (the long
chemical strands are tied together) todelay breakdown by skin enzymes.
Perlane®
is non-animal-based and free from animal protein. This quality prevents
disease transmission. Allergy pre-testing is not necessary. Studies have
shown that
Perlane®
effects generally last about six months.
Perlane®
gradually disappears from the body without a trace.
What is Restylane?
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores
volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial
wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
What is Restylane
made of?
Restylane is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of
non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance
that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and
fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a
crystal-clear gel called NASHATM, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic
Acid. NASHA is biodegradable and completely biocompatible with human
hyaluronic acid.
How is Restylane
different than other hyaluronic acid-based products?
Unlike other hyaluronic acid-based products, such as those made from
rooster combs, only Restylane is non-animal-based. This quality
virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease transmission or
allergic reaction.
How is Restylane
different from Botox®?
Restylane is a natural, cosmetic filler. In contrast, Botox is a
drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles.
Many patients have been very pleased after receiving treatment with both
products.
How is Restylane
different from bovine collagen?
Restylane is proven to deliver a longer-lasting effect than
traditional collagen, with virtually no risk of animal-based disease
transmission or allergic reaction. In addition, bovine collagen is
derived from animals (cow) and requires an allergy test. Because
Restylane is non-animal-based, it can be administered without pretesting,
so no waiting is required.
What is the difference between Restylane and Perlane?
Both Restylane and
Perlane are designed to fill in wrinkles and creases, and add
fullness to the skin. Both products are made from hyaluronic acid
and are clear injectable gels. The main difference between Restylane
and Perlane has to do with particle size and thickness, 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. Each of these products has a unique
purpose and effect so combining these products often achieves the
best results.
