Wrinkle Removal with Perlane Injections – What You Need to Know


Advertisement

Collagen injections were once the only option for getting rid of frown lines and correcting wrinkles, but since collagen is gradually absorbed by the body, results typically last only 3-6 months.   

Hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm are readily available at the cosmetic surgeon’s office as alternatives, and now Perlane has entered the market as after receiving FDA approval. The injectable can smooth out facial creases and reduces the appearance of fine lines; Perlane also offers several advantages over other fillers on the market.  

How Perlane Works  

Perlane is a dermal filler made entirely of hyaluronic acid, and is administered as a crystal-clear gel. It is a non-animal product that’s compatible with the human body’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid and can help improve skin’s resilience while it fills in skin indentations and gets rid of wrinkles.   

One of the biggest benefits of Perlane is the way it molds with the natural contours of the face; the dermal filler fits naturally under the skin’s surface and enhances soft tissue volume to create a ‘fuller’ appearance. 

Perlane can be used on several areas of the face including the forehead, under the eyes, the chin and also for lip augmentation. Since it’s denser than other injectables on the market, Perlane creates a smooth and soft appearance; the contours of the face tend to look more natural than other skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments.  

Key Benefits of Perlane  

Perlane offers several benefits for anyone who wants to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Perlane can:

Perlane is ideal for improving the contours of the lower face, especially the cheeks and neck areas. However, most people can enjoy better results with a combination of BOTOX for frown lines and Perlane for other areas that need correction.  

How Much Does Perlane Cost?  

Perlane is the most expensive of all hyaluronic fillers on the market with costs ranging from $575 - $900 per treatment. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery states an average national cost of $650 or more per syringe, and the price varies by region, doctor’s office and experience of the doctor.    

When you’re looking for the right dermal filler to remove fine lines and wrinkles, Perlane is just one of the many injectables available and offers visible results for six months or more.   

It’s important to find a qualified cosmetic surgeon to administer Perlane and monitor your outcome, and this dermal filler can easily be combined with other anti-aging treatments and wrinkle removal products.
