Rejuvenation of the Lower Eyelid Using a Combination of Two Hyaluronic Acid Fillers - a Pilot Study

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and longevity of the use of Restylane® and Perlane® in combination for the rejuvenation of the infraorbital hollows and to measure patient satisfaction with this treatment

This study will examine the effectiveness of using Restylane® and Perlane® together in the treatment of the hollows in the under eye area. The combination of these treatments for use in the under eye area is considered investigational. An investigational therapy is a therapy that is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Restylane® and Perlane® has been approved for treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds by the FDA.
