Restylane and Perlane are made from stabilised hyluronan, a modern Swedish medical implant designed for volume augmentation of lips, wrinkles and folds.
It is natural and safe because it is of non-animal origin, fully biocompatible and biodegradable.
It exists naturally in all living organisms and is identical in all species. Human skin also contains hyluronan molecules that bind water to the tissues to create volume.
The function of Restylane is to add volume where the bodys' own hyluronan has been reduced over the years.
No skin test is required, so treatment can begin straight away.
Restylane is injected in small amounts straight into the skin. Due to its' unique properties, it gives a high level of patient satisfaction for up to a year.

The average cost per treatment varies from £140 to £400.
Restylane fine line (for the eyes)
0.4cc £140
Restylane (for most lines)
1.0cc £280 - 0.5cc £160
Perlane (for deeper lines and lips)

Perlane is injected along the border of the lip, raising the contour.
The lower lip is also enhanced to maintain the natural balance.The degree of enhancement is easy to control, you can have as little or as much as you need. Most people having this done for the first time are worried about having over-large or unnatural lips. You need not worry, we can start with a small enhancement and gradually increase it to your desired look.

The side effects occasionally occurring are:
Bruising at the injection site. This settles quite quickly and requires no treatment.
Localised swelling or redness around the injected restylane. This is the result of tissue reaction to the restylane and is usually mild and short-lived. A little lumpiness may be felt but this is not usually visible. It will settle without any treatment.
