Restylane® and Perlane®
Dr. Deborah H. Atkin, our board-certified dermatologist, can skillfully reduce signs of age and restore fullness to your facial features with Restylane® or Perlane®. Restylane® and Perlane® are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that instantly restore volume and fullness to the skin to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane® and Perlane® are two of the few cosmetic dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. This virtually eliminates any risk of an allergic reaction.
Unlike BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport, Restylane® and its sister product Perlane® do not relax underlying muscles. Rather, their plumping effects will enhance volume and add a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts up to six to twelve months, or even longer.
Restylane-L and Perlane-L with Lidocaine
Get a more comfortable lift with Restylane-L or Perlane-L! If you are concerned about the potential discomfort of your treatment, we suggest using Restylane-L or Perlane-L. These products contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to reduce any discomfort before and after your treatment.
Restylane® and Perlane® can also be used to enhance the volume in your lips, provide a subtle lift in the cheeks and fill under-eye circles.
