If you would like to restore facial contours or reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; injection therapy with soft tissue fillers or Botox®/Dysport® may be right for you. Injectable fillers can:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Procedural steps: A pharmaceutical filler substance or your own fat is injected below the skin surface to fill hollow areas and creases, or plump the lips and back of the hands. If fat is used it is typically taken from the inner thigh or abdomen, and may require anesthesia. Botox®/Dysport® is usually injected after a local anesthetic has been placed on the skin. It is injected into the muscles that produce facial wrinkles.
Your results: Swelling should dissipate in 2 to 5 days, or 1 to 2 weeks with fat injections. This procedure produces temporary results, lasting a few months to several years or more, based on the filler used, treatment site and individual patient factors. Some products may be permanent.
Results from Botox®/Dysport® are not apparent for 5 to 7 days. Bruising is usually minimal and resolves quickly. Botox®/Dysport® needs to be re-injected every 3 to 6 months to maintain the desired results.

Botox® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).
BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows. .

Perlane-L® has lidocaine added to it to reduce discomfort during injection. Just like Restylane-L®, Perlane-L® adds volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Like Restylane-L®, Perlane-L® is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to add fullness like your body’s own hyaluronic acid. What makes Perlane-L® different is the average size of the particles and the depth of injection. On average, the gel particles in Perlane-L® are larger than those in Restylane-L®, which makes Perlane-L® a good choice for wrinkles that benefit from a deeper injection into the skin.
