Perlane is a great product for overall facial rejuvenation

Perlane works great for outlining cheek bones, lifting mid-face, and providing an overall visual lift to the face. The results that can be achieved are truly impressive. Depending on where your lines are, and how deep they are, you might need to have a combined treatment, perhaps with additional Restylane, or Botox injections, or some kind of a resurfacing treatment.

Perlane for deep folds and lips

Perlane is the thicker relative of Restylane.  It works very well at filling the deep nasolabial folds.  It also works well in providing body to the lips.  Many physicians use it to add volume to the midface, marionette lines, and pre-jowl sulcus.
