Perlane Post-Treatment Advice

Immediately after the treatment with PERLANE there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the PERLANE injection. If the inconvenience continues or if other reactions occur, please contact your physician.

The PERLANE treated area should be massaged gently for 30 seconds morning and night for 2 to 3 days.

The initial swelling after the PERLANE treatment may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week. This means that the result directly after the PERLANE treatment should not be seen as the final result.

Avoid touching the PERLANE treated area 6 hours after the treatment. After that the PERLANE treated area can be gently washed with soap and water and light make-up can be applied.

Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the PERLANE treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold.

If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores.

If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase the bruising and bleeding at the PERLANE injection site.

PERLANE contains the body's own natural material, hyaluronic acid.

How long will a Perlane treatment last?

PERLANE treatment is long lasting but not permanent. You always have a choice to continue your Perlane treatment or change the combination of RESTYLANE, RESTYLANTOUCH or RESTYLANELIPP treatments - and the procedure can be repeated as often as you like.

Most patients choose to have a follow-up Perlane treatment 6 to 12 months after an initial treatment of wrinkles. When the lips have been treated a follow-up treatment is normally needed after about 6 months.

A touch-up PERLANE treatment within 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment may be necessary to achieve an optimal correction.

Clinical experience indicates that follow-up PERLANE treatments normally require a smaller amount of the product.
