Restylane in Cheshire

Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Hydrafill and Evolence are all examples of a type of non-surgical injectable treatment known as dermal fillers. They can be used to fill up lines and skin folds (such as “smile lines”), soften wrinkles, improve facial contour, or enhance your lips to give them a fuller and more sensuous appearance.

Restylane

Restylane was the first dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid (a naturally-occurring substance found in our body) to be approved by the FDA in the United States of America in December 2003. Since then it has been used on more than 1 million patients worldwide, and so its track record and safety profile is probably the most extensive among all the newer dermal fillers.

Because hyaluronic acid is structurally the same between human and animal species, there is no need for allergy and skin testing when receiving Restylane injections. Restylane typically lasts between 6 to 12 months (8-9 months on average) depending on the formulation and the area injected.

Juvederm

Juvederm is one of the newest hyaluronic-acid-based dermal fillers which is FDA-approved in the USA in June 2006 for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. For some time now the product has been marketed in the United Kingdom as Hydrafill or SoftLine.

In our experience, Juvederm injects smoother than Restylane, and some patients claim that the result feels slightly more natural. Juvederm can last between 6 to 12 months as well.

Evolence

Evolence is the latest dermal filler to hit the UK market. It is made of natural collagen, one of the most prevalent materials in your body. No allergic responses have been reported in clinical trials, nor in post-launch surveillance studies, so no skin allergy testing is needed.

Because Evolence is a collagen, it offers the added benefit that it stimulates the clotting cascade, possibly resulting in less bleeding and bruising upon injection. Evolence has been approved by the FDA for treatment of facial wrinkles and skin folds… its cosmetic effect lasting between 6 and 12 months.
