Perlane is a non-animal Hyaluronic Acid, manufactured by a unique method in the Q-Med Laboratories in Sweden. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occuring substance in the body so it naturally dissipates into the body with time.

All living organisms have Hyaluronic Acid in their bodies. In humans this is the substance that creates volume in ones face, giving it a healthy, young appearance. You can imagine what Hyaluronic acid does for a face when you consider the rounded face of a child, which forms into adulthood, and eventually receeds toward the skull causing furrow lines. When these are augmented by Perlane, this crystal clear Hyaluronic Acid combines with your own to revitalize the face.

What about pre-tests? There are no pre-tests! Some bio-degradable implants require a test because they have been extracted by animals, but Perlane is not, and therefore there is no risk of allergic reaction. Common uses for Perlane™ include:

• correcting folds and wrinkles of the face
• acne scars
• nasolabial folds (between your nose, mouth and cheeks)
• horizontal (upper forehead) frown lines
• glabellar (lower forehead) frown lines
• chin augmentation
• depressed corners of the mouth, also known as marionette lines
• lip enhancement, including treatment of the edges of the lips and wrinkles around the lips to stop lipstick from leaking from your lips onto the surrounding skin

Other uses for Perlane™ include:
• filling subcutaneous skin defects
• filling of orbits of the eyes
• augmentation of cheek bones, chin or bridge of the nose
• correcting some irregularities of the nose
• filling small facial bone or hand bone defects
• augmentation of the nipples
