Perlane Injections
About Perlane Injections
Perlane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial folds of patients across the world. It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.
What is Perlane?
Perland is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Perland containes no animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Perlane filler.
The hyaluronic acid in Perland supplements the body’s natural supply, which becomes depleted with age. Perlane is biodegradable so it effects are not permanent. The results of a Perlane filler treatment tend to last six months to a year. This is much longer than the typical results of collagen injections, which may only lst three to six months.
Unlike BOTOX Cosmetic, Perlane does not make you numb. Perlane can be used in conjunction with BOTOX Cosmetic, which neturalizes the muscles that create wrinkles, but Perlane simply reduces the visibility of wrinkles and folds.
What Areas of the Face Can Be Treated with Perlane?
The hyaluronic acid in Perlane can be used to improve the contour of facial skin and to reduce wrinkles, folds, scars, and other facial skin depressions.
Common uses for Perlane filler include:
- Wrinkle correction
- Diminishing worry lines, smile lines, crow's feet, marionette lines at corners of the mouth, and smoker's lines
- Lip enhancement
- Reducing the severity of nasolabial folds
- Shin augmentation
- Filling cheek depressions
- Redefining lip border
- Softening acne scars
Other, less common, uses for Perlane filler include:
- Filling hallows under the eyes
- Creating a temporary eyebrow lift
- Correcting facila depressions caused by fat loss
- Softening the appearance of jowls
Restylane vs. Perlane Filler
Perlane is primarily the same product as Restylane, but Perlane filler contains a larger concentration of hyaluronic acid, Perlane is usually used for larger folds, while Restylane is better suited for smaller wrinkles or to maintain the results of a previous Perlane injection.
Because of the differing levels of hyaluronic acid, Restylane is less expensive than Perlane filler.
