All of us go through the process of aging. As much as we would love to keep our youthful appearance forever, aging will ultimately find its way to our face in the form of wrinkles. If each time you look in the mirror you are bothered by your wrinkles and fine lines, you have to find a way to reduce their appearance. Here at our Massachusetts cosmetic surgery practice, you can deal with the signs of aging through Restylane and Perlane.

Restylane is made to act like the hyaluronic acid produced in the body. It works by adding volume to the skin. Restylane can be used to:

  • add volume to the skin
  • correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face including those above the upper lip and below the nose
  • correct nasolabial folds or laugh lines (lines found from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
  • correct marionette lines (the area from the corners of the mouth to the jaw)

Perlane is also a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid, just like Restylane. It acts like the hyaluronic acid naturally produced by the human body. Perlane can be used to:

  • add volume to the skin
  • treat wrinkles that require deeper injection
  • treat facial wrinkles
  • reduce fine lines that surround the lips, nose, mouth, and forehead
  • enhance the lips
  • improve crease lines surrounding the nasolabial area
  • augment the chin and lip
  • fill cheek depressions and improve depressions on the face
  • redefine the lip border
  • soften acne scars

What makes them different?

The size of the Restylane particles are different from the size of the Perlane particles. They are also different when it comes to depth of injection with Perlane being the better choice for more severe facial wrinkles that require deeper injections.

To learn more about Restylane and Perlane as well as other injectables available, set an appointment with Boston plastic surgeon Dr. Russo today by calling (617) 964-1440. We look forward to your visit!
