BOTOX®
BOTOX®
works by weakening the targeted muscles. After the BOTOX® is
injected, the muscles will relax, thus reducing the
appearance of wrinkles. BOTOX® is primarily used to
eliminate the wrinkles in the forehead, brow area and crow's
feet around the eyes. The results can usually be seen within
3-7 days and can last up to 4 months or longer.

Restylane and Perlane

Restylane
and Perlane classified as fillers. Fillers such as Restylane
and Perlane are injected into areas such as the nasio-labio
fold and cheeks to add fullness and contour. Restylane and
Perlane are also used for lip augmentation to add fullness.
Unlike collagen, Restylane and Perlane do not require
intitial skin testing and the results are longer lasting (up
to 12 months in some cases). Restylane is now approved for
use in the United States.
Restylane and Perlane are probably the most exciting
non-surgical advancements in facial rejuvenation today.
While there are numerous injectable fillers on the market
today, many of them have their drawbacks ranging from
allergic reactions to short life spans. Restylane and
Perlane are safe and natural.
In
1996, the biotechnology company Q-Med of Sweden created a
genetically engineered version of hyaluronic acid (Restylane
and Perlane). Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide, or
natural sugar, that is found largely in the skin. Its
primary function is to provide volume and pliability to the
skin. The unique characteristic of hyaluronic acid is its
ability to bind with water up to 1000 times its volume. This
property makes it ideal as a filler agent, for even while
hyaluronic acid filler is being naturally degraded it
continues to attract more water to it. This characteristic
allows it to hold its shape even longer.
Restylane and Perlane Applications:
• Wrinkle correction

degree of patient satisfaction
• Clinical trials show that Restylane and Perlane are
effective for up to six months after lip augmentation and up
to twelve months after facial contouring.
