Restylane® / Perlane
Define The Face You Show The World
You exercise regularly, eat wisely and use sunscreen even on cloudy days. But no matter how carefully you manage your health and appearance, some signs of aging still show in the mirror. Thankfully, dermal fillers like Restylane® can give you more freedom to define the face you show the world.
As we age, our skin gradually begins to lose its natural elasticity, causing lines and wrinkles to appear.
A simple solution may be only thirty minutes away. For those looking to erase fine lines or enhance lips, Hylaform or Restylane® treatments may be the answer.
These less invasive procedures offer significant results and have been increasing in popularity.

How does aging affect your appearance?
Doctors define facial aging in terms of the three D's: deterioration, descent and deflation. You'll recognize deterioration when your skin starts to lose its smooth texture a process that can lead to wrinkles, enlarged pores and unsightly age spots. With descent, you may feel as though your face is being pulled downwards, resulting in a loose, sagging appearance. You may also see deep folds, like the lines between your nose and the corners of your mouth. And through deflation, certain areas of your face like your cheeks and around your mouth can lose their volume and start to look hollow and shadowy. .
The overall effect of the three D's can be a noticeably older appearance. You may begin looking tired and worn out instead of youthful and rested. .
Can you reverse the signs of aging?
Unfortunately, no magic pill reverses all three D's. But one way to help restore the contours of your face and help define your features is to add volume to facial tissue with Restylane®..
How can Restylane® help restore your facial contours?
The main ingredient in Restylane® is hyaluronic acid, a substance also found naturally in human skin. It attracts and binds to water molecules, helping to maintain your face's volume and contours. .
What can you do to maintain your look?
Because Restylane® is typically resorbed by the body over time, you may want to return to your doctor periodically to maintain your look. This "maintenance plan" is different for everyone. How long your treatment will last is very individual. Your aesthetic physician should be able to determine this during your consultation.

What Restylane® can do for you?
Signs of aging are different for everyone and Restylane® can help:
Why volume makes a difference
One of the most noticeable differences in our skin and faces as we age is loss of volume. As we age, the soft tissue in our face may thin, losing firmness, plumpness and elasticity.
Our facial features may begin to sag, sink and flatten, particularly around the mid cheeks and mouth. Restylane® adds volume to where it was lost due to aging, which can in turn help you to look more youthful.
How dermal fillers such as Restylane®add volume?
Dermal fillers add volume to facial soft tissue. Restylane® is a clear non-animal gel which is naturally integrated into the tissue when injected.Restylane® is injected into the skin with a fine needle to restore skin contours and smooth lines.
The main ingredient of Restylane® is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance also present in the human skin, with the important ability to attract and bind to water molecules to help maintain volume.
Dermal fillers such as Restylane® can help in restoring and balancing facial fullness. Every treatment is specifically tailored and the exact duration of effect depends on the treatment area and should be discussed with the physician.
