PERLANE INJECTABLE FILLER

As we age our skin thins, stretches and loses volume. Collagen and elastin (the skin's building blocks) break down, leaving skin thinner and less pliable. When this occurs, everyday facial expressions can highlight creases, wrinkles and even hollow areas where volume has been lost. While the breakdown of collagen and elastin in your skin is impossible to prevent, there are ways to replace the volume lost from this process using dermal fillers, like Perlane.

We use hyaluronic acid fillers to help reverse the loss of collagen and elastin. A good Perlane injector doesn't simply fill lines, rather they use the product to replace volume lost in the cheeks and mid face. The concept of "shaping the face" is important to understand and to ask about when considering Perlane. "Shaping the face" with Perlane is a term used to describe how adding volume to the skin can reverse the signs of decreased collagen and elastin.

Perlane is made of Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally forming substance in the body. HA is what makes a baby's skin feel so soft (we have higher levels of HA when we are very young). It has the unique ability to absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Because of this, Perlane can provide volume to hollow or thin areas of the face by pulling water to the product after it is injected. Perlane is different from Botox because it smoothes away wrinkles and fills thinning or hollow areas of the skin, instead of relaxing underlying facial muscles (which is how Botox works). Perlane is an FDA approved dermal filler, and is a safe and effective method for increasing volume in thinning skin and hollow areas.

Perlane is one of three hyaluronic acid products that we use for dermal filling (Restylane and Juvederm are the other two).
