Perlane is another kind of Hyaluronic Acid Filler, similar to Juvederm and Restylane

Michael Sinclair, MD

Perlane is another dermal filler that is similar to Juvederm and Restylane. In fact, Perlane is made by the same company that makes Restylane.

Perlane has a larger particle size than Restylane, so it is somewhat thicker. This extra thickness makes Perlane a very good choice for deeper wrinkles and replacement of lost volume in areas like the cheeks and jaw line. Many times, I will use a layered approach where Perlane is injected first (very deep), and then Restylane or Juvederm is injected more superficially on top of the Perlane to smooth out finer wrinkles.

Perlane is very easy to work with and gives a very good result, which will last about 6-9 months. Like the other hyaluronic acid fillers, Perlane can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Perlane is very unlikely to cause any allergic reactions, so skin testing is not necessary. More information about Perlane can be found at the link below.
