Restylane / PERLANE

RESTYLANE® AND PERLANE FOR A NATURAL BEAUTY LIFT

Dr. Gervais Frechette, Le Docteur, provides RESTYLANE® and PERLANE® treatments in New York City and San Francisco.  These natural cosmetic dermal fillers have proven to provide correction of facial wrinkles and scars.

Impressions of beauty change with time – as do our faces as we age. With RESTYLANE® and PERLANE, you can have a natural beauty lift with the body’s own material. RESTYLANE® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin. See before and after photos in our gallery.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Natural beauty! RESTYLANE® is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and beauty. This cosmetic dermal filler restores volume and fullness to the skin, correcting facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds). Since 1996, more than three million people have been successfully treated in more than 70 countries worldwide.

RESTYLANE® is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. RESTYLANE® maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture; the hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic or “water loving.” As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results.

Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen products, RESTYLANE® is free from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.

After your treatment, you might have some redness or swelling. This will normally last less than seven days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappear. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18 you shouldn’t use RESTYLANE®.
