Perlane®

We're pleased to offer Perlane® treatments, an exciting option for those who are looking for skin rejuvenation. Perlane is a mid-dermal filler for moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles and scar correction. Perlane®, approved by the FDA in May 2007, is a "mid-dermal" Hyaluronic acid filler product. As a sister product to Restylane®, Perlane® is designed for more pronounced facial folds and wrinkles as those on the sides of the mouth.

Benefits:

• FDA approved safe & natural fillers
• Restore volume
• Eliminate lines and wrinkles
• Results are instantaneous
• Can last up to 60% longer then collagen fillers
• Non-surgical
• No down time

The science behind Perlane® is Hyaluronic acid, which is present in youthful skin but recedes and changes in structure as we age. Perlane® gel injections boost your natural supply of Hyaluronic acid, which will smooth out signs of aging and brings out the best of your features.

Perlane® gel treatments can diminish the appearance of:

• Smile lines (adjacent to the mouth)
• Nasolabial folds (laugh lines, from nose to mouth)
• Cheek Augmentation

Come in for a consultation, and we'll discuss if Perlane® treatments are right for you.

FAQ

How is Perlane® different from Restylane®?

Both Perlane® and Restylane® are composed of Hyaluronic acid. The primary difference between Restylane® and Perlane® is that the Hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane® are larger than those found in Restylane®. This gives Perlane® additional ability to lift and fill the areas of injection that require a denser formulation. Perlane® and Restylane® are perfect complements to one another.

How do Perlane® and Restylane® work?

Perlane® is injected into the skin to smooth away wrinkles and folds. Perlane's® water-loving nature attracts and binds water molecules to help maintain volume.

Perlane® is composed of Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the body. The Hyaluronic acid in Perlane is a crystal clear gel that is chemically cross-linked (the long chemical strands are tied together) to delay breakdown by skin enzymes. Perlane® is non-animal-based and free from animal protein. This quality prevents disease transmission. Allergy pre-testing is not necessary. Also distinct from other Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Restylane® and Perlane® are minimally cross-linked, making them similar to the natural Hyaluronic acid found in the body.

Can Perlane® be used in tandem with other fillers?

Natura Medspa finds that most facial correction needs beyond superficial lines will be restored most naturally by the use of product layers. Perlane® is the ideal "middle layer" for deep folds. Beginning with Radiesse in the very deep skin layer, we will add Perlane or Hyaluronic Acid filler as a topper.

"Much like the pillow top on a mattress, when used along with Radiesse, Perlane is supported by the firmer properties of Radiesse while offering a softer upper layer that is extremely natural to the touch."

For other wrinkles or folds, Perlane® may be chosen as the support layer with Restylane or Juvederm used as the top product. Depending on the level of correction needed, we will recommend the most advantageous combination.
