Restylane/Perlane
Every time you smile, frown or squint you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin which results in the development of facial lines. Restylane/Perlane 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. It is made of a non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and provides fullness and volume for the skin.
Restylane/Perlane is injected into your skin through a fine needle administered by a doctor or nurse. It is a relatively painless procedure that is also convenient and simple.
