Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane/Perlane are crystal-clear gel called NASHA™. NASHA is biodegradable and completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.
Q: How is Restylane/Perlane different than other hyaluronic acid-based products? A: Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen products, Restylane/Perlane are free from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.* Q: What should patients do prior to treatment? A:Restylane/Perlane require no pretesting, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidalanti-inflammatory medication, St. John's wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements prior to treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence.

Q: How are Restylane/Perlane different from bovine collagen? A: Bovine collagen is derived from animals (cow) and requires an allergy test. Restylane/Perlane can be administered without pretesting, so no waiting is required. With Restylane there is limited risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.*
Q: Do the injections hurt? A:Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultrafine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. Perlane is a deeper injection, thus a little more discomfort. The procedure is simple and convenient, and results are practically instantaneous. To optimize your comfort during the short procedure, your physician may anesthetize the treatment area.
