Facial Fillers Restylane Restylane, a clear gel, is utilized to fill out lips, enhance facial wrinkles and folds that result in facial rejuvenation with esthetically pleasing appearance.
As we age, the skin loses its natural elasticity and the amount of hylonuronic acid decreases causing lines and wrinkles to appear and also skin dryness.
Restylane contains hylonuronic acid which when injected into the dermis works with your body’s own hylonuronic acid thus, providing volume to fill up the skin deficit.
Restylane is commonly used to treat superficial facial lines. It is safe. No pretest required. Its lasting effect is 5-8 months. The esthetic result is immediate and takes less than 30 minutes to complete the treatment. Its recovery is minimal.
Perlane Perlane is similar to Restylane, but having thicker particles, is used to fill up deeper folds / wrinkles and enhances lips.
Juvederm Juvederm, is a hylonuronic acid in the form of viscoelastic gel which is transparent. It comes in different concentrations that fill fine wrinkles such as crow’s feet, peri-oral wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, obvious mild to moderate nasal furrows and cheek wrinkles.
