Costmetic Dermatology Procedures

The Conant Medical Group offers a variety of cosmetic procedures to reduce the signs of aging as well as enhance facial contouring:
Perlane®

perlanePerlane® is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial lines of individuals. It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring. It can be used in both sexes.

The hyaluronic acid in Perlane® augments the body’s natural supply, which has become depleted with age. The injected Perlane® fills up scars, lines and wrinkles on the face. Perlane® is not a permanent product and is broken down in the body. The face can remain wrinkle free for up to 6-8 months after injection of Perlane®.
