Perlane®

Stablized hylauronic acid gel filler with a larger molecular structure than Restylane®. Perlane® is also distributed by Medicis, Inc. the same company responsible for Restylane®. Perlane® is intended for volumizing the face in the deep dermis and superficial subcutaneous fat. Early consumer dissatisfaction with this product appears to relate to its use as an alternative to Restylane®. Perlane® and Restylane® are not equivalent products. It is essential that Perlane® is placed deeper than Restylane®. When this is done, the product is an excellent alternative to volumizing products like Scluptra® and Radiesse®. Like Resylane®, Perlane® can be modified or even erased with hyaluronidase products like Vitrase® making these treatments highly flexible. Treatment effects appear to last well over a year.
