PERLANE - DEEP DERMAL WRINKLE CORRECTION
Perlane is an identical product to Restylane but with larger gel particle sizes, making it ideal for building up skin tissue on a deeper level. Perlane can be used either alone or as a cushion base with Restylane of Juvederm on top. Two fillers are not always needed for complete correction, but when indicated, two may be the best choice. By using a product that is more volumetric as a first layer, as is the case with Perlane, it is then possible to correct the depth of the wrinkle or fold and allow the top layer of the more fluid product such as Restylane or Juvederm to finish the correction for a soft, smooth appearance. Hyaluronic acid products are ideally suited for layering and complete corrections may sometimes require both. Lip augmentation using Perlane offers a beautiful three dimensional plumpness which is further sculpted with the vermillion lip border being enhanced by Restylane or Juvederm. Filler sensation and touch are important to how happy you are with your procedures. Both Perlane and Restylane are instant, long-lasting, soft and totally natural in touch, feel and appearance. Perlane is suitable for the following:
Hyaluronic acid is a critical component of youthful-looking skin. Young skin is smooth and elastic because it contains a large amount of hyaluronic acid. Once hyaluronic acid is lost, due to age and various environmental factors, your skin is less pliable, tends to sag and wrinkles form. Aging and the consequential loss of hyaluronic acid also results in thinner lips and flatter cheeks. How is a Perlane® procedure performed?Perlane® is injected directly into your skin. For ultra sensitive areas such as the lip, a "lip block" is used to make the procedure comfortable. Other areas typically only require a topical numbing cream prior to injection. How long will the results of a Perlane® treatment last?Perlane® effects last between six months to a year. Some injection locations maintain the correction longer than others. Will Perlane work for me if I have facial hollows?To some degree, yes. Perlane can be used to instantly add volume to the cheek area, the prejowl area and and temples as well as filing deep wrinkles and folds. If you are experiencing the hollowness in your face that comes with fat loss, a natural result of aging for many women and men, your Blue Pacific physician may recommend the re-volumizer Sculptra mentioned above.

Pre-Treatment SuggestionsPrior to a Perlane® treatment, or any injection procedure, you should avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication or vitamin E supplements unless prescribed by your primary care physician. If in doubt, please check with your primary physician before stopping any medications. Post Treatment SuggestionsLip augmentation will likely result in some swelling. Hyaluronic acid is a water absorbing product and initially it will draw water from your surrounding tissues, which may make the lips a bit fuller than you anticipated. This will balance out in a couple of days. To help alleviate this initial swelling, using cold cloth compresses will be helpful. Redness and some minimal swelling in facial areas is to be expected and this also dissipates within a few days. Any bruising may take several days longer. Refrain from going into the sun, do not take hot baths or go into hot tubs until all redness and swelling is gone. |
