Restylane & Perlane
The plump appearance of healthy skin is due to hyaluronic acid. As you age, levels of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease with time, sun exposure and other environmental factors. The result? Lines, furrows and wrinkles. Dermal fillers such as Restylane and Perlane can correct wrinkles, improve lip definition, and address the signs of ageing from the inside out.

How it works?
All young smooth skin has one thing in common: hyaluronic acid. Found in all skin tissue and identical to all species, this building block of sorts fills out the space between collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, holding in water and maintaining the skin’s volume. With age, levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease and so we end up with furrows, wrinkles, and often thinner lips. By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, we can mimic the effects of natural hyaluronic acid and produce the look and feel of hydrated skin. By filling depressions in the skin, wrinkles and folds are considerably softened and/or eliminated.
What to expect from Restylane & Perlane?
Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts using an ultra fine needle. Local anaesthetic makes the treatment simple with no discomfort. The procedure is convenient and results are instantaneous. Each procedure is geared to individual requirements. Most patients choose to have a follow up treatment between four and six months after the initial treatment. As the gel breaks down, water takes its place. When totally absorbed, the gel disappears unnoticed from the body.
Who is suitable for these treatments?
Almost everyone apart from those who are pregnant or breast feeding.
What happens if I do not have a top-up?
Correction of the wrinkles and the enhanced lip effect will subside gradually until your skin looks like it did before the treatment.
Are there any long-term problems?
No, because it is completely natural and over time can be completely broken down by the body.
Are the injections painful?
No, as doctors do all the treatments we are able to use local anaesthetic injections which allow the treatment to be pain-free and comfortable.
Can it be used with Botox®?
Yes, sometimes to create the best effect they can be used together
