Some may show it better than others, but we all age. This process takes a toll on the skin, leading to unsightly laugh lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. Do you know someone who seems to have skin that's resistant to these problems?

The Restylane family of products are wrinkle fillers. Restylane and Perlane smooth your skin through a substance known as hyaluronic acid (HA). This naturally-occurring substance gives your skin elasticity, fullness and keeps you looking young.
As you age, you gradually lose hyaluronic acid. Restylane rejuvenates your skin a gel injection that includes HA. The small injection gives your skin natural volume and fullness that can last for months and even years for some conditions.

Restylane is best used around the lips and eyes. These injectable fillers are ideal for treating moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. The primary difference between Restylane and Perlane is the length of the effects; Restylane can smooth away wrinkles anywhere from 6 to 18 months, while Perlane effects last even longer.
Restylane treatment is fast and easy; a typical appointment is completed in under an hour. At the start of any injection, your Restylane provider will cleanse the injection site. The Restylane smoothing gel is injected using an ultra-fine needle to minimize pain.
For most patients, the results of Restylane and Perlane are immediately visible. Your provider will give you recommendations after the treatment. Generally, it's a good idea to avoid the following for 24 hours after treatment:
Some amount of swelling is perfectly normal, and will go away with nothing more than a cold compress.
