Are You a Candidate?
Those that have lost some modest volume and proportion of their face or back of their hands, or individuals who are highly-animated and have moderate lines and furrows.
Prep/Pre-Op
Keep the area clean and well moisturized before the procedure, as this will minimize any potential damage to your pores during treatment.
Procedure Details
The injection is performed with a small, blunt micro-cannula. The micro-cannula injection technique has been pioneered by Dr. Mulholland. He has taught physicians and injection experts worldwide on his blunt, micro-cannula Perlane® lift techniques. The micro-cannula technique is the safest injection methodology.
All injection specialists at SpaMedica are highly-trained under Dr. Mulholland’s leadership, with years of soft-tissue filler injection experience.
Before & After
After Care Instructions
Keep the treatment area well moisturized and be sure to apply SPF 30 sunscreen to keep it protected. There may be some itching and tenderness in the area, this is a normal result of the injection. The area should be gently massaged for 30 seconds every morning and night for two to three days following injection.
Maintenance Required
Soft tissue fillers and facial shape and proportion in general are a temporary thing. As we age, there are enzymes that break down our collagen, elastin as well as the hyaluronic acid sugar gels. Hyaluronidases are a natural degradation sugar enzymes inside our bodies and cells that break down the Perlane® product over time. Most patients who enjoy nice post-soft tissue Perlane® results will return once a year or year-and-a-half for volumization and restoration. Highly-animated areas, such as the lips, tend not to last as long as unanimated areas. As such, you may require a lip enhancement every six to nine months.
Side Effects
The most common side effects of Perlane injections are bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, pain, itching, and small bumps on the injection site.
Outcomes
You can expect excellent results following your Perlane® injection. As our injection experts are highly qualified with many years of experience of soft tissue contouring, volume shaping, line and wrinkle management. Depending on the product used, the results of Perlane® injection may last up to 1-2 years. Perlane® is the longest-lasting Restylane® product and is often used for moderate volume shaping of the face and volumization of deflated areas. In general, most patients get volume shaping once a year. They return for re-injection every 12 to 14 months to maintain the optimal soft tissue proportion, shape and smoothness.
Benefits
Perlane is an attractive choice for many due to the fact that it’s a non-surgical procedure that solves lines and wrinkles.
Additional Procedures
The Perlane® injection is often combined with other soft tissue filler products such a Juvederm Voluma and Restylane
