Restylane / Perlane

Restylane® and Perlane® can be used to effectively supplement or replace the hyaluronic acid that diminishes during the aging process. Both are non-animal based hyaluronic acid products that can be injected into select areas of the face to correct moderate-to-severe wrinkles and folds, offering almost immediate improvement.

The hyaluronic acid used in Restylane and Perlane is a clear gel that is biodegradable and biocompatible with the type of hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. Restylane and Perlane injections also contain the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available in a cosmetic dermal filler, allowing aesthetic improvement to last up to six months.

Perlane and Restylane Injections

Restylane and Perlane are primarily the same product, however the hyalulronic acid gel particles in Perlane are larger than those found in Restylane. Both products are equally effective but have different applications.

Restylane is used for more superficial facial wrinkles and folds, frown lines, forehead lines and lip enhancement. Your service provider will recommend the product that is best suited to your facial enhancement needs.

Restylane injections are very effective in improving the appearance of:

Marionette lines
Lip line crevices (smoker's lines)
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Moderate facial wrinkles
Lips

Perlane, which is Restylane’s sister product, received FDA-approval in 2007. Perlane's larger gel particles of hyaluronic acid make it an ideal dermal cosmetic filler for larger facial folds and deeper wrinkles as well as for adding volume and contouring to the face.

Perlane injections are very effective in improving the appearance of:

Nasiolabial folds
Deep furrows and wrinkles
Cheek depressions
Hollows under the eyes
Chin augmentation
Softening scarring and redefining the border of the lips

Typically Perlane and Restylane injections should to be repeated two or three times a year, or about every five or six months. However, recent clinical trials have shown that a Restylane injection treatment actually encourages the body to produce more collagen, requiring fewer Restylane injections over time and less hyaluronic acid during subsequent treatments.
