Hyaluronic Acid Replacement Therapy – Cosmetic Surgery Alternatives in Mountain View, California

At our cosmetic surgery center in MV, Ca, we offer less invasive non surgical procedures such as Hyaluronic acid treatments in the form of Restylane® and JUVÉDERM™ replacement therapy to Palo Alto, Los Altos, Silicon Valley, San Jose and Bay Area residents who desire a rejuvenated, youthful face but do not need major surgical correction.  Restylane®. Perlane®, JUVÉDERM™ AND JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA PLUS replacement therapy is useful for the treatment of smile lines, frown lines and for improving the fullness of your lips.  It can also be used to improve hollowness around the eyes, brows and cheekbones, as well as improve the jawline and chin.  It is an excellent way to treat small depressions and irregularities after rhinoplasty and to improve shallow soft tissue depressions that have occurred after trauma or acne.  Because hyaluronic acid fillers are complex sugars not derived from animal origin, there is an exceptionally low risk of allergic reaction and pre treatment testing is unnecessary.  Prior to receiving treatment, all Palo Alto and Bay Area patients undergo a thorough consultation at our cosmetic surgery center in nearby MV, Ca.  Dr. Samuel Pearl will explain the Restylane®, Perlane® OR JUVÉDERM™  injection procedure, answer any questions you may have and determine if it is the appropriate course of action for your particular case.

To arrange a consultation for Restylane®, Perlane®, JUVÉDERM™ and JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus replacement therapy, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Los Altos and San Jose residents can contact Dr. Pearl at his state of the art cosmetic surgery facility in Mountain View.

Hyaluronic acid is a ubiquitous complex sugar that is an important component of joint fluid, articular cartilage and skin, especially where it is involved with tissue repair.

It is important to understand that unlike the older collagen (Zyplast and Zyderm) treatments, there is more discomfort placing Juvederm and Restylane in the facial tissues.  Comfortable treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers requires locals anesthetic block of the surrounding tissues prior to treatment, especially around the smile lines and lips.  This numbness will last approximately 11/2 hours and will be frequently associated with an asymmetric smile.

It is important to immediately place ice over the treated areas to minimize bruising and swelling.  We also recommend the use of  ARNICA, a homeopathic remedy that can be taken by mouth and topically, to reduce bruising.  Post treatment irregularities, redness, bruising and swelling varies widely, but typically lasts 1-3 days, although occasionally it lasts 1-2 weeks.  Reducing anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen (Motrin. Advil, Nuprin), naprosyn (Aleve) and aspirin as well as not taking Vitamin E supplement ( 400 I U),  may reduce the amount of bruising.  You should not plan an intense physical workout the day of the procedure.  Importamt business and social engagements should not be scheduled for 1-3 days after treatment.

An 8-12 month improvement in areas that are less dynamic ( cheeks, around the eyes, nose , jawline and the back of the hands) is not uncommon.  In the dynamic areas around the lips and smile lines, a 4-6 month correction is the norm.  The more recently FDA approved “thicker” Perlane® and JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus is especially  good for deeper smile lines and other deeper depressions.
