Perlane and Restylane Testimonial:

Soft tissue fillers are designed to “fill in” facial indentations made by fine lines and wrinkles. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. The treatment smoothes the skin and gives you a more youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic acid (Restylane) is a natural substance found in living organisms. It is produced in a laboratory and injected into fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to increase fullness in the lips. In 2004, 882,469 hyaluronic acid injections were performed in the U.S. The treatment lasts from several months to a year.

Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) is a newer soft tissue filler. It’s a synthetic version of a natural substance found in bone and teeth. Last year, 69,439 procedures were done in the U.S. The treatment is more expensive than collagen or hyaluronic acid, but lasts much longer. Results with calcium hydroxylapatite last for two years or more.
