Perlane Facial Injections

Perlane is a type of hyaluronic acid injection that is used to smooth moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. It is also a popular choice for women and men who wish to have fuller, more defined cheek bones. This injection has been found to be a safe dermal filler as it contains hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Results from Perlane treatments typically last for about six months, and because there is it is not an animal based substance allergy testing is not necessary before treatments can begin. 

For patients who choose to have Perlane facial injections, the substance will be injected into the skin with an ultra fine needle. Perlane will then begin working to plump up the skin and smooth away wrinkles and folds. Perlane works by attracting and binding water molecules in the skin to help maintain volume during the few months after the injections have been done. The Perlane substance is gradually broken down within the skin and eliminated by the body. 

The cost and amount of injections will vary from patient to patient based on their specific needs and desires. Tiny amounts of the Perlane substance are needed around the lips to diminish wrinkles, but for those who wish to plump up their cheek bones more Perlane substance is required and will, thus, cost more. Minor bruising and tenderness are common side effects of any dermal filler injection and have been reported by some patients. Talk to your cosmetic skin specialist to see if Perlane is the right choice for improving your facial features.
