Restylane® and Perlane® To Smooth Nasolabial Folds
In Bellevue and Seattle
Restylane® and Perlane® are nonsurgical beauty treatments used to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (Nasolabial Folds).

Often, Dr. Stern will recommend to his Bellevue and Seattle patients treating these types of wrinkles, lines and folds with Restylane® or Perlane®.
These long-acting fillers are perfect for customizing and enhancing lip contours and smoothing lip wrinkles, as well as filling lipstick lines and the corner creases of the mouth, creating a subtle upward turn of your smile.
In many cases, the injection of small doses of Botox Cosmetic® around the lips may enhance the effect of these fillers.
Restylane® and/or Perlane® may be injected in a simple office visit, using topical numbing gel and our Synercool® Chilling device to aid in your comfort and reduce bruising.
Swelling is typically minimal, and lasts about 24 hours.
“Patients can go anywhere— even the mall-- for Botox and filler injection these days. If you’re going to spend your hard-earned money, I believe you deserve to have the best, most experienced person perform your injection. That’s why in our office; I do all of the injections myself.”
