A new weapon in the wrinkle wars -- Perlane ® -- has finally arrived stateside, and it's about time!

I have known about Perlane ® for many years from Europe, and Americans are in for a treat. This is the newest form of Restylane ®, the natural hyaluronic acid gel from Sweden, only it's three times thicker so it lasts longer and helps to enhance volume in the cheeks and chins, recontour noses, plump lips, with all sorts of other novel uses. If you have had Restylane ® already, think of Perlane ® as its big sister. The molecule is larger so it gets deposited more deeply into creases and folds. It is best for contour changes, and not really intended to smooth fine lines.

Take my advice and go for it!
